    Default S2kCA @ Harris Hill Road - Saturday, Nov 14

    The Austin chapter of the S2000 Club of America is hosting another one day track day at Harris Hill Road south of Austin.

    The track day is scheduled for Saturday, November 14th. Pricing is $155 for S2KCA members and $170 for non.members, and includes lunch!

    Registration is open now: Link to registration website

    Harris Hill Road is a beautiful, flowing, technical, 1.7 mile road course nestled in the hill country halfway between Austin and San Marcos. Great track for a Miata!

    Hope to see you at the track!

    site says Registration fees are $270 for S2KCA Club Members and $295 for non-members.

    and how much is a S2KCA membership?

    also see h2r site is listing it as sat and sun, is it a 2 day event? i can't find any info on the motor sport reg site.

    Sondra is updating the registration website. Originally it was going to be a two-day event, but a large enough percentage of people were asking about single day registrations that she decided to make it a single day event.

    The pricing on the registration site reflects the old two-day pricing.

    There was going to be this video... but the batteries died or something.











    of course he'd taken the hoosiers off before the session

    I just checked out the track.... Looks like fun. Kind of a mix of Mid Ohio ans Laguna Seca, but with shorter straights. Just right for momentum cars I must try it out before we leave for KY.

    The videos don't do justice to the elevation change in the turn:




    Vorshlag LOL (including geezer!):

    Downhill, decreasing radius AND off-camber. It's a nasty one.

    Great video, Geezer! I just loved the 'vette walking away on the straights and you just making it all up under braking.There were great passing opportunites in the corners, that's for sure, but I know ya gotta abide by the "no passing" areas. Tell me more about this car, and YOU!

    Thanks :) Not much to tell, it's an MX5 on Ohlins and Hoosiers, with basic bolt ons (I/H/E) (and RED OMP racing seats, which is where I'm convinced most of the performance comes from), and I'm just a dood that lucked into getting a car and a setup that I really really like on that track (which happens to be a good fit for the way I drive. And I have about a bazillion laps on it (the track) as well).

    Factory rollover protection is okay for either car for this event. HHR may be tightening their rollover requirements next year for convertibles, so get on track while you can!

    Merv, you would love HHR. It’s an awesome track for Miatas! Come on down and join us!
