Miatas @ Hallett 2016

[jrj512]

Do you STS guys put your rear sway back on for track days?

I leave mine off, but leave yours on if you prefer it.

Do they only sell 3.2 beer in OK?

Why risk it? Bring a sixer of Shiner.

I'm going up in my Miata, not a luxo-barge. Space is a premium.

News to me…..I have driven Chitown to Santa Monica, and the good parts many times.
I got an app for that…...
Two epic trips documented here:

Sharpie just jipped me some Ugly Pie at the Midpoint of Route 66!

And I'll never hear the end of it......See if I take you to Flyin' Miata camp again.

See if I take you to Flyin' Miata camp again.

Thats the plan partner….in fact, just got the head back on Cool Whip!

[Sharpie]

Sweet. Congrats! Now don't let it overheat again. It missed an important drive to Colorado.

So Tire Rack made my shipping label and marked it shipped yesterday morning. Scheduled delivery was supposed to arrive today.

UPS tracking this morning could not give me a scheduled delivery date...turns out Tire Rack marked the shipment as ready for pickup yesterday morning but didn't hand it over to UPS until about noon today.

Looks like I'll be arriving at the hotel late Thursday night...

What tires did you order? What size?

[Dustin1824]

225/45/R15 RS3 on 15x9 Advanti.

Haha should be enough to make the stock suspension feel very inadequate

Rogue, do we have a rendezvous place and time for the ride up country tomorrow?

[gabkwong]

Anyone with Race Port to sublet/share? Hate to pay $80 for the entire port just my car.

Yeah, planning to meet at McD's on University just north of the split.
10am
We'll get fried pies and Yoohoo at Davis.
great some soda at Pop's
and late Lunch at Rock Cafe in Stroud.

Also plan to do Route 66 on the return trip Sunday, for the track junkies that like to run around backwards.
We'll stop at Seaba Station motorcycle museum.
see the Round Barn and hit Pops for those only making the return.
Lunch at Bunny's, to give Driftdevil a hard time.
Davis mtn/Turner falls twisties
and roll on to the casa.

Roger that!

[OZMDD]

I'm sure you'll be heartbroken to learn that I'm not driving with the group after all, since I'm trailering up. See you on the track.

The good old route. It was a blast. Hopefully when I get to get out to elgin to see the folks I'll get to make a run to bunnys.

[Dustin1824]

Gabkwong,

I didn't try to stiff you with the Raceport fee, my power steering issue prevented me from driving on Saturday at all so I just checked out to save the hotel fee for tonight and drove home.

PM me your Paypal so I can send you $.

Had a GREAT time at Hallett this weekend. Very well run event, with lots of nice folks. Connie runs a tight ship and it shows. Couldn't have asked for better weather and the track itself is awesome!

Thanks to hornetball for some much needed instruction before my first session...already looking forward to next year! (Sep 8-9, 2017 ...mark your calendars now)

PS - Trailed Rogue on the way up and followed Rte. 66. Really enjoyed that and saw some cool landmarks. Came home via 99/377 (thanks to cone-cerned!)...very relaxed, low traffic route with nice scenery. I'd recommend it!

[Sharpie]

Pictures guys. Hate missing it again.

[cone-cerned]

I had a great time, as usual. Well worth the trip. This was not my fastest lap, just the fastest that got recorded.



In case you missed the number, that was car 167 passing me.

Serves you right for absconding my number, number 67!
