Thread: SOLO Practice at the BUS LOT

  1. #1

    Default SOLO Practice at the BUS LOT

    Are any of you guys going to do the March 2 practice session at TMS?
    What's left of a '96 Miata with stock clutch.
    My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.

    That will be the first weekend with the new house, so probably not. Plus, I will already have spent Saturday at the BMW CCA event on 3/1.

    Looks like 11 people signed up so far, I think I need to do this. I have 0 seat time in the Elise and will be diving head first into SS.

    A couple of days. I emailed Phil and there was already a "registration" for me under a different username (likely left over from my original SCCA registration a couple of years ago) - once he cleared that up, it was less than 8 hours.

    I was afraid that a $50 price tag would seem high to a lot of folks when we set it... but think of it this way:

    It's like paying for 2 events, but getting 10 events (or more) worth of runs!

    You'll be able to run 'till you're out of gas, tires, or energy, whichever comes first. And the bus lot is easy on tires!

    There will be 3 distinct features to this practice:

    Short/Med Short practice course. Probably shag your own cones, but we'll see how that works out.

    Multiplel diameter skid pad. Not sure if those camber adjustments you made over the winter worked out like you thought? Here's the place to test them. don't forget your pyrometer.

    And - we're going to have the mother of all slaloms set up just like last year - 12 or 13 cones equally spaced along the site edge that borders 114. You will be great at slaloms after running that thing a few times.

    Just my $.02 (and trying to plug the practice...)
    A Z06 is just like a Miata, but with the other half of the motor . . .
