Texas Region SCCA Autocross # 7, TMS Infield Road Course, 9/11/11

[sammm]

For those of us who have never been to TMS before, how do we get inside to the road course?

Take the entrance off of 114 like you're going to the bus lot (I think that's the 2nd one west of I-35W, but that area is under construction and it may have changed). Continue straight thru 2 stop signs and you'll go down a tunnel and under the oval. Someone will be at the entrance for you to sign the TMS waiver.

I also was told Paddock was going to be in a new area from what we have done in the past. But that is all I know!

See you s in the AM!

Always a great event with the Maxcys at the helm!

Course was much improved! Only complaint was the bus stop before entering the Esses. It didn't seem to fit in with the natural flow of the rest of the course. It was also visually very confusing. At least at our speeds it just looked like a wall of cones. Other than that, very nice change.

+1. I remember coming up to it every time and saying "uh-oh". That might have been due to the speed but it did look like a sea of cones. But in the end, I've done some huge courses at El Toro and Marana that were wide open quite a bit, but this was most certainly the fastest course I've driven. I neared the top of 3rd gear in a Solstice which was crazy!!

Solstices have gears?? Thought those were more of a CVT-crowd car...

Try MW, I've hit close to 120 mph and that was before the s/c.

Yeah, that course map for the BMW event this weekend looks insane. Do miatas have 4th gears?

I'll be back in November. Evo is down for now. Piston #4 melted.
