    Um, have you priced the infield course? Even SCCA has opted not to do their annual autox there anymore.

    TMS will allow us to run the parking lot on the infield.
    M3 is always the answer.

    The first AutoX event I attended was a PCA event at Ranger's Stadium. There was more than enough room and IIRC it was concrete.
    Is that still rentable?

    Yes, I know it's too expensive.

    Do we know how large it is? Surface type? Price?

    Limited availability. Maximum cost!

    I think the last I heard those sites were 12 times more expensive than mineral wells. To pay for that we either need 12 times as many entrants or raise entry fees to around $500. Both are not likely to happen.

    It is a public road race. We will make a loop from GWB turnpike onto Trinity Mills then up Marsh and back to GWB. Trophies at your house when we are finished.

    I'm sure the local law enforcement will chip in with performance awards too.

    Andy, you have done a great job getting new sites. I am not a big fan of the Mesquite sites we have better options at the moment. I would not mind having one event a year at the Mesquite sites just to keep our feet in the door just in case we lose some or all of the other sites. Hope that never happens but you never know. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see the new site if that works out.

    The open road event sounds like a hoot, can't wait

    Sounds good to me, we can all take a dip in the pool and drinks at the bar ... but it would be unfair to everyone else since that is my "Home" track!

    Dallas Raceway isn't out of the picture yet. I've spoken with the management at the site and there might be some good news soon.

    Why is that a problem? I have been to many events and other sites where this is the norm.

    Mike, I agree that everyone has their own opinions and views on the different sites. But the Mesquite lots are just too small, gravely and dangerous for anything but an STR miata

    In all seriousness, it is nice to have lot owners who are excited about us attending. But just because the ugly girl gets excited about the possibility of a date with you, doesn't mean you should actually take her out.

    Like Robert said, we have better options for now. Hopefully it never comes down to Mesquite being the ONLY option, otherwise I will be making some long drives to other regions for events.

    I can definately understand your concerns for safety, especially since you have appeared on the insurance exclusion list.

    Man, tough crowd. A guy careens down a mountain ONCE and never hears the end of it.

    That may have been the case when we ran the vette. But that was like 3 years ago. Still has nothing to do with "cars" leaving the grid area.

    He's a good sport about it. I'm sure if it started to get on his nerves he would let us know.
