    Default Motorsport Ranch Deal

    I have been talking to Jack about a group rate to join the Ranch and
    have a sweet deal to offer. We need a minimum of 7 people to join
    at a cost of $1800 initiation fee, regularly $2400. Monthly dues
    would be $60, regularly $75 and the 30 minute track sessions would
    be $15, regularly $20. Be setting this up, in case you ask, my fees
    which are the higher of the two will go down to this level. You are
    allowed to bring one guest per month.

    If you have not been out there in a while they are adding a second
    track, probably be in the Fall before it will be complete. The hold
    up has been the cost of rock. Due to the cost of oil, there has
    been an influx of oil drilling and they are driving the prices 2-3
    times over what Jack had figured into the new track budget.

    You may have heard about the new track in Houston, it is still
    going. Jack said they wanted him to raise his prices, but Jack said
    no. They may have some kind of guest pass setup for the two tracks.

    If you have any questions please let me know, this would be sweet to
    have a lot of Miatas on the track. There site is www.motorsportranch.com

    That is a hell of a deal. Now if I only had $1800 laying around to spare...

    Get a job Iain! Ask for a sign-in bonus for $1800 and don't tell your wife.

    I think Gary was trying to work a deal for Miata owners so I'd guess no.
    ...and across the line.

    You are likely correct, but it occurred to me that if he finds 5 guys but needs 2 more for the minimum.... and if Jack doesn't care what kind of car the person owns....

    Perhaps I should purchase another membership so I could NOT go out there twice as much

    Good one Merv... It is not limited to Miatas, we just want to get, naturally Miata people involved. Looks like we may have 7 people commited, but we will hold off a week or so to see who else might be intertested. Email me off line if you are interested so we can stay intouch.

    There are Driver Education events all the time offered through various car clubs. Fees run from $100-$300 depending on the event. This is not racing but an education event to teach you the line, car control and consistancy. Still a whole hellova lotta fun.

    As for race events, you'll need a properly prepared race car with a full cage and run either Spec or Showroom Stock. MSR has some events for these classes but you'll find more at TMS and TWS.

    If you want to race wheel to wheel, expect to invest heavy in tires, brakes, event fees, body panels and initial car setup.
    ...and across the line.
