Anybody else?

[Treibenschnell]

Since you're the teacher, we'll be expecting a full, 750 word or more report, typed, doulbe-spaced, 10pt font size by the end of the week.

Been to the Miatas at the Gap event twice.

Some suggestions. Go early, get your Gap runs in on Wed or Thurs or stay late and run the Gap on Sunday or Monday.

Avoid the Dragon at all costs on Saturday. Too much police attention and way to crowded. Plenty of other roads around there to run on Saturday.

Many Miata to Miata wrecks have happened and I believe most if not all on Saturday and on the Dragon.

Also, check out the parking lot at Topoco on Saturday. Lots of interesting Miatas.

Remember, you will be in the middle of no where. Nearest Mazda dealer is two hours away through the Gap. Don't ask how I know... They do stock waterpumps.
