Was told at least a dozen times that I should register on here today... So I listened to that at least. Didn't hear the "SLOW DOWN".
You got several pictures of my car thank Yeller90.

What a great event! Big turnout, great class battles and beautiful weather! I'm ready for the next one.
The course was fun and challenging. We were packed up and headed out by a little after 4pm.
OMG your tires!Quote:

It was a deceptively tough course but I enjoyed it, and you gotta love the bus lot for the lack of tire wear.
Great day at the Bus Lot. Season is on.
Man, I'm sad I couldn't make it yesterday. Did Stu and Doug already trade the M3 for an Elise?
Yep...a lime green one.Quote:

Were you guys getting more understeer than usual at TMS yesterday???
I was getting too much oversteer. So much so that I had to run the rear shocks at full soft for the afternoon runs.Quote:

Nice weather, great competition! Looking forward to the next one. ::Banana::
We look forward to seeing you next time for 'Impala vs Elise, Part 2 -- This time, it's personal'. ;)Quote:

Yes, but next time you will probably have newer tires.Quote:

I am ready......

Oh yeah which Waffle House was everyone at. I went to the one right down the road from TMS and didn't see anything that even remotely resembled a Miata. The only other one I saw was right when I got on 35 from 820 but didn't check it out. Also didn't find anyone at the McD's down the road from the Waffle House.
its the waffle house on 114. You have to remember not everyone on these boards has a miata. A few of us were there in some assorted cars (my GTI, S2Ks, Cooper S)
The McDonalds that everyone goes to for TMS events is south of TMS on the corner of I-35 and 170.Quote:

It was a great event thanks to Jimmy and all his minions! :clap:
Big thanks to Mike McShane for loaning the PA system for the announcing. If Mike is willing to keep loaning it, then we will be happy to use it. I would like for the club to get a PA system of our own, but we have higher priorities right now, like a new trailer that can haul/store the cones and perhaps a blower.
Well that's good to know for next time lol I was looking for Miatas didn't even think about that. Also I didn't see any sport type cars at the waffle house. No VW, no S2k, ect. Maybe I showed up there too late?
I did not realize there are "non" Miata users here, I will post a few more pictures then of the other cars!
Don't or they will keep coming back. ;-)Quote:
