I'd be disappointed if you didn't go to Florida... I never had the opportunity with my father.

There will always be more autox days! We'll miss you while you're gone...

I'm working on putting together the course map. Any special requests? Things you want to see or don't want to see? I'm already completly avoiding the SE gravel corner.

Still planned. The current problem is finding a weekend day that the lot is not being used by another club, swap meet, etc. I'll let you guys know once we get a date nailed down.

Gregg Lee had the street sweeper out there for the PCA event last week and swept the course with it. The surface was great, imho. I never had gravel problems at all.

Looks like Clovis and gang need to start beating the bushes a bit more... ;)

Come on guys...help me out here and keep this quite. The only chance I have of making top ten in S2000 street is if we only have 12!!! ;) Oh wait...some of those will be in R compound - I might be safe!!! :)

Man everyone is running this event.....it sucks I can't make it out on Saturday. The boss says no! :(
I have really been wanting to run a S2K event. Maybe next month. I am running the SCCA Sunday event...looks like I am the only Miata in TCS. I might actually trophy. :lol:

In driving through Mineral Wells I never noticed a McDonalds. Where is this mythical place? :-o

Nevermind, this internet thing is going to catch on, it has answers to all your questions. :oops:

It's not the McDonalds in Mineral Wells that they're talking about. It's the one on I-20W, just past the point where I-20 & I-30 merge. Exit 418, I think? South side of the freeway, a few miles east of 190.

Exit Ranch House Road or exit No. 418 on I-20 just west of the I-20/I-30 merger.

Yes, yes... but your post uses Fathers Day as a reason why attendance by S2000 drivers is low, compared to the Miata count that is at it's normal level. My point is, if Father's day was the reason for lower attendance, it would be lower for everyone -- S2000 drivers and Miata drivers -- and it's only the S2000 drivers that seem to be missing this one. In other words, Father's Day isn't a differentiator between Miata attendance (which is normal-to-high) and S2000 attendance (which is low). I'm just sorry more of them won't be there.

But I've opened up a space, as I now can't make it to yet another S2000 event -- that means I'm batting 0-for-3 so far this year, and the 4th event isn't looking good for me either! :(

Maybe miata drivers don't have any fathers and kids to celibrate with.

Been feelin a little :pale: all week, and Friday was the worst. Trailer was all hooked up and the cooler was loaded when I decided to go back to bed this morning. When I finally woke up and hit the TV remote, LeMans was on the parade lap :cheers:

Another great event hosted by the NTS2K folks! 8) The last car of the day was done running at 2:48pm. 8 runs and done before 3pm! What more could you want? A fastttttttttttttt fun course with enough elements to keep your attention. Congrats to Joe.Miata who took first place in Miata Street Tire!
