Still debating on coming, would like to watch the Cowboys game. Thinking the morning session would be over by 12:15 ish given the number of drivers? Also $30 bucks for four 40 second runs is kind of steep, I think that works out to $690.00 per hour. At those rates you could probably frequent the type of establishments that jrj512 likes hanging out at. ::Arm:: ;)
65 degrees and partly cloudy on Sunday. Sorry I can't make it! Stupid work! ::Rant::
You should stay home.Quote:

$30 / 8 runs x 1 min each = a measly $225 an hour. I get more than that from JJ, so I don't see the problem. ::BaHump::
How long do you think a course should be at PMS in a Lotus on R comps? Not everyone drives a Saturn SUV. Just about everything else should be able to run a course in well under a minute there judging from past results.Quote:

Perfect weather, little suntan in January, and I am ready for the next winter event. Still chasing Davidss in his CRX, but with my new clutch that I need to install things may be a bit different..................(insert favorite excuse here)
Sign me up for the next winter event.
That was a fun event! Great courses, perfect weather, good people... Thanks to everyone who made it happen!
+1. while my driving was quite unremarkable, the day was great and the course was fun. Best January ax I've evar attended! Good times!Quote:

Glad I didn't skip the afternoon runs to watch the Cowboys choke. ;)
One other thing I do have to say (even though I shouldn't have to)...
PICK UP YOUR TRASH!!!
Long after almost everyone else had left, Thomas and I walked around the paddock and picked up all the garbage YOU left behind. If we trash the place, we won't be invited back. More importantly, I'm not your mother. So next time, please pick up your f***ing garbage. Thank you.
Ditto on a great event today. I really liked the two track format. unlike Brad I think I liked the afternoon course better than the morning course but both were definitely a lot of fun.
I really enjoyed the event. Unlike Ian, I truly wish I had stayed for the afternoon runs, instead of coming home to the pregnant wife and the Cowboys choke-a-thon. JRJ really came-through on this one. Hope there are enough timing lights for the next winter event!
I really enjoyed driving Jim's RX-8. It would be great to drive one in STX.
Good times.
Today was a great day, I really had a good time. Several people suggested I sign up here since most of the DFW AutoX group hangs out here. I don't have a miata, but have a 350Z roadster (the only one today). I really enjoyed watching all the cars run and of course driving my car at the event was more fun than watching. This is only my 5th event, 2nd with this group. I was on new Z1 star specs today and it made quite a large difference over the stock tires I had been running.
Too bad about the trash, I left none but people should be able to clean up after themselves. Now I am looking forward to seeing all of the times posted.
Great event today. JRJ, thanks for putting on a winter event for us!
The STX RX-8 was a lot of fun and very fast.
Sorry everyone, I caused the delay by crushing the timing light with my front tire::oops:
::ConeDOWN::Drive2:::oops:
jrj512, please let me know how much I have to pay the club to get a new timing light!
Beside my mishap, it was a great event with perfect weather. Thanks to everyone that helped make this event possible.

Warning, video contains violence toward timing equipment
OK - Avatar won - now, where are the results from today?
We'll see if we can fix it, first. The internals appear to be salvagable, but I still have to test them to be sure. It might just be a new case for it. If so, perhaps we can fab up something stronger.Quote:

Welcome aboard. We worked corner 4 together on the last runs (one of those that suggested this site). You put in some nice times driving the Z, and will just get faster. Enjoy!Quote:

4 year old Hoosier A3S05s that are heat cycled out don't work so well. I think he would have been better off driving on his street tires.Quote:

It always is. :clap: Also I wonder which out of towners you reffering to. I only saw a fews names on the results that I didn't recognize.Quote:

Anyway, this was my fastest from the afternoon:

Well here are my videos from the event. First showcases Ken's scooter form
Then we have my fastest morning run a 38.277 which still was not that quick compared to what it should have been
Then my afternoon 2nd fastest run [37.8] because my fastest run was filmed outside the car.
My fastest afternoon run was this one with a 37.535, but it also works as an exhaust video
scooter ftw!
I think JJ may have you on form, but I think you have more straight line speed. Do I see a little race in the near future?Quote:
