    $25 entry and standing around in a parking lot with 102 degree temps. Sounds like an autocross. I'll pass. Good luck though.

    $25 just to get in to watch?
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    And from what I understand the only part of the track you can see is the front strait. And there is no seating; but don't let that discourage anyone from showing up and supporting your local miata friends :-D

    There is general parking at the top of the hill. You can actually a good part of the track from there. I'd guess at least half. If you're coming out to cher us on, our team HQ is at the long covered paddock, pretty much dead in the middle. Look for a large checkered flag rug.

    Team Miagra will have a canopy on top of the hill. You can bring your lawn chair and sit under it and see the whole track. They also have their main base under the covered paddock. It's worth the 25 bucks especially on Sunday when they crush a car. Unfortunately, I will not be able to go this weekend. Good luck guys.

    Admission fee turned out to be $20. I had a great time Saturday. There was a lot of interesting cars (and people).

    Here are a few photos. I'll get more up when I have some time to work on them.

    Brake issues, blown front bearing, and then finally a head gasket failure. Team Miagra was in for possibly their best finish ever. It just wasn't in the cards this round. Tough break, but still a great experience. Thanks Doug for coming out!
    I use to worry about money; but then realized I don't HAVE anything to worry about.

    Wow Doug! I feel like I was there. Fantastic photos that needed no captions; almost every one told a story. Thanks so much for sharing them. I get nostalgic seeing some of the cars I wanted to drive back in the early eighties. The one that gets the "best of show" award in my opinion was the BP Oil car. Very funny and the bumper stickers looked real. Still grinning on that one.

    +1. My coworkers loved that BP car and the Western Union Nigeria car.

    We can't figure out what kind of car this is though.

    It appears to be a fake Ford GT40.
