That would be so cool to having a night of music and stuff, but people that paid the crazy $300 Miata World entry get dinner included that night. hey, you paid for it you might as well use it.

Allow other than Miatas, don't even think about it............

A bunch of Miata driving guys primitive camping outdoors together, sounds more like gay underworld to me :rolleyes:

They may want you there if you happen to own a Miata that weekend :rolleyes: Actually now that I think about it, it's the same price as any other DE so I might as well wait and go chase some faster cars ;)

I don't know why you're getting all offended. The weekend happens to be Miata World II and the 20th Anniversary of the Miata. If the Elise club had an event and planned a track day weekend, I wouldn't expect they'd let me on the track with them.

I'm not opposed to OTM locals (as long as they lift on the straights when they hold you up in the corners). :D

Better to have them fill the field if needed than not to have the event like this year :(

don't be a pussy.

If my green car isn't ready by then I'll ave to drive my ugly car in the novice class, lol.

If I can run novice without a roll bar, them I'm down. ...and I am most certainly a novice!

Wow, lol, that's good. Ok. I can see it now, you can use your Jedi like instructor skilz to teach me how to pass an STi (that won't lift on the straights) with my NA miata "while driving like a man". :rolleyes:

Please share with us the technique you have mastered to accomplish this :confused:

All you have to do is take one hand off the wheel, grasp a testicle, and proceed with virility. This technique is used by motorsports greats.

LOL. You win. But won't that make it difficult for you to point me by, with you having one hand in your pants? ::BaHump::

Enough thread drift. Back to the real point. Let's make this track day happen:burnrubr:

I can not wait for the TDR event. I want to see mr brg drive his miata. I keep reading about him, well from him, and with that FI, he will be able to just roll over all of us. Plus, he may be able to teach us a few lines. :D

I never claimed anything like that. Besides, my car probably won't be ready by then.

We'll have to switch cars to see who's suspension reigns supreme. I fear I'll have more green in my car afterward.

Jumping in here from Apex with just a few points.

First, roll bars are not required. I cannot reccommend them highly enough, but if you want to assume the obvious risk, then we will allow you.

Second, in order to accommodate this many folks, there will be no in-car instruction, except for very limited exceptions. Novices will get up to speed via lead & follow. This means no free track time for Apex instructors, other than the very few who we get to help staff this event.

Third, since this is a big, national event, we do expect to sell out. I can promise you the track time at TMS will be very tame and crowded and this is the only venue that promises to allow you to really stretch your car's legs.

Fourth, watch your mirrors for me when I am on track in one of the several SM Turbo cars we have built (with much asistance from Gary at TDR). Resistance is futile.

I plan on joining this 250whp miata train of pain.

Maybe we should consider a "big-power" run group?

This will most likely be my first track day in the car since its resurrection, so I plan on running the novice group. I need to learn to drive this car, not wad it up on its maiden voyage. I ran intermediate 1 at "miatas at hallett" last time anyway, I have no business on the track with the adults.

Let us know when we need to pony-up the ching-dow Gary.

Registration is already up on Apex's site.

yes registration is up

http://www.apexdrivingacademy.com/schedule.htm

scroll to the end of the scheduled events to register. The event is actually filling fast.

My turbo cars are only about 230 rwhp since they are designed to be reliable and the mule won the 2008 NASA Texas 4 hour enduro at TWS OVERALL. That is right, first in class and overall in a 40+ car field.

nevermind, I have down's.

As for the people who sign up late...I travel for work, so if there's a big natural disaster in may (greensburg, KS tornado), then my spot will open up.

CONGRATS!!

I just signed up!

Hopefully you don't mind if I let David take the car out for a session. I bet that'll be fun to watch...two turbo track miatas with great drivers on track at the same time. Are you gonna be running Hoosiers or the Nittos? I can run the SM Hoosiers or my "street" tires (either shaved RA1s, or some Eagle F1s). Let me know so I can grab them up from Bob S. ;)
