I'm gonna miss this one. Y'all have fun!

[OZMDD]

Boo, same weekend as Div. At least I'll get 2 less runs over twice as many days for three times the price!

Fixed that. Divs had had four runs over the past three years or so.

I registered. Can't commit a whole weekend to the Divisional. Looks like Ken drew a fun and fast course.

[slowchildmiata]

Sure looks like BMW TT#2 to me. Let me know if you need help with course setup.

[CosmosMpower]

Yay for road course autocrosses. Still thinking about it, hate driving to MW.

I registered. Can't commit a whole weekend to the Divisional. Looks like Ken drew a fun and fast course.

I also cannot commit to the full weekend. I will be there as well!

Wow, only one miata in X class so far? I guess everyone is running SCCA?

I plan to make it, car is getting a clutch installed this week so I hope it is ready in time.

[2zzmr2]

If I'm inspected by the end of the week I'll be there.

[Bigsrturbo]

I'm running x also I just have not registered yet... But I'll be there

[altiain]

Looks like a great course. I'll be at the Divisional though. Y'all have fun!

how's the surface at mineral wells? i went there once to spectate a drift event, but the place looked so tore up (about a year ago).

It is very grippy, and is hard on tires. Not ridiculous, but hard driving will definitley wear your tires noticeably more than any other site. It is a fantastic location other than tire wear.

I guess you forgot the 2 hour each way drive

Some people can drive for more than 2 hours without stopping to pee.

Just because you prefer to use empty gatorade bottles to take care of business going down the highway doesn't mean everyone does.

[OZMDD]

Only 75 minutes drive for me; one upside to living in South Central (Dallas Co.)

I thought that was the real purpose of camelback bladders...

Why limit yourself to highways.... Might not want to pull a lemonade out of my cooler.
