Gary,
Are run groups finalized yet?
Chris
Not to my knowledge yet since we still have several people I ahve toalked to who are going to sign up. Soon I hope. By the way see my other thread about hotel arrangement.
See you soon,
Gary
I did sign my son up, so we will be co-driving the Miata. Will you be pre-inspecting cars at your place?Quote:

any one trailering a car from around Dallas and willing to let me drop some wheel off with you to take out to the track? please?
We can get our tech done at TDR WW HQ tomorrow afternoon!?
Almost forgot about tech...
I drive out there from Lakewood almost every day. I can get wheels out to the track and store them at the shop until Friday.Quote:

Students must be at the track for check in at 8:00, but suggest being there NO LATER THAN 7:30. First classroom is at 8:30.
Instructors meeting is at 8:00
Bring plenty of water!!!!
See you soon,
Gary
Weather looks great! Take a sick day and come out and play. This should be a perfect day for getting some track time and hanging out.
I just went to see what's happeing at MWII....doesn't look like much except eating and a give-away. The web page is so out of date. TMS is down to one day and they still don't have enough workers. Their vendor alley looks pitiful. MSR(TDR/APEX) all day Friday and tours on Saturday??? What a change from all the grandious plans. I think there are gonna be a lot of unhappy participants
I heard somewhere that they have to pay $$$ every time they have the site content updated, and therefor much is out of date on the site.
They paid for that website..... Wow.....Quote:

The vendor alley will be open to the public Sunday 10am-3pm.
Their site has some back-end work; registration database I guess that's costing them the money. That's why they don't update it often cause they get nickeled and dimed by the web services.
I dunno anything about the track stuff since I'm not going. I'll be having real track fun on Friday instead.
PS. We have 43 registered so far so we should be a lock for Miata only now! Woohooo
Is the site update daily or weekly?Quote:

Hey Gary,
Thank you fixing my baby. She is doing great!:drive::drive:
What is the latest we register for Friday?
I am trying to get the day off work.

Better to use lsmiata.com for latest event info.
OTOH Apexes site is instantaneously updated with registrations. Whatever the current slot openings are is accurate. At this posting 17 of 60 slots are still open.
i don't think anyone else here could have possibly had a bigger grin than the one I had on my face yesterday...not could anyone be as humbled, lol.
so, go ahead and bring the pics and videos please.
Sounds like there's a story there Trey. Spin or go off? That extra power get you?
I stayed on the track all day (miaracle and lots of respect for the car) but there is TON more car than driver right now...which is a nice change of venue. I was hitting 127mph (according to garmin, lol)going into rattlesnake when I finally learned to relax and not overdrive. The lines are totally different now because I have the power and torque to drive through. Even though i knew the power would be sweet, the r-comps and tein flex with 580/400 or whatever I bought from Gary rates were the real beauty...so much easier to drive and confidence inspiring.Quote:

My lack of skill is an injustice to the mechanical awesomeness.
Good times all around. Thanks to Gary and Apex for hosting us.
Here's a crappy video (my first ever!) of one of my sessions. The cam is old, and I'm suprised it worked at all. Thanks to whoever loaned Tim the mount, cause I borrowed it from him (works great).
Just learning all this video stuff, converting files, uploading etc. Trail and error right now, so it's nothing fancy.
It's in 2 parts, I'll post the other link when it's ready. The first part pretty much shows me chasing Andy in Gary's old yeller. Andy was taking it easy (did'nt want to throw Gary's car off). The second part has more action :rolleyes:...

Hope it works....
Hey it worked!
In case you were wondering, at the start of the video, thats the guy in grid apparently busting Mr. BRG for attempting to sneak along a passenger for a ride along LOL! I'll let him cover that one...:clap:
Part 2 just finished uploading..please feel free to comment on my lines, or lack thereof...just having fun. Getting bumped into advanced had me a bit concerned at first, but there was lots of free space to run and everyone was cool. The intermediate group looked a bit crowded, but that can be fun too...
Great day! :clap:
