I can think of a few locals from the defunct outlaw list that may be interested. Not everyone jumped over to this forum. Still not sure why it hasn't officially been posted there.
I'm trying to get my car a clean bill of health before I commit.
$160 is a great price.
Maybe part of it is the Father's day weekend aspect.
I was going to comment on that as well, but miatamoto summed it up with more tact than I would have. :wink:Quote:

That was followed by how expensive Autocross was.
I was just trying to point out the value of the event.
The skills you pick-up at the event are going to help you wether you're just driving on the track, going wheel to wheel, or autocrossing.
Hell, I'm a member of MSR and I still wouldn't miss this event for the world.
I can't wait.
Outlaw Group is not defuct, most of us still check it.Quote:

I was surprised that the Outlaws were not included, since they supported TDR since day one.
Word of mouth is the best advertising there is, but you can't buy it. :rolleyes:
A lot of posts since I asked but I don't think my question was answered. Based on this comment I assume the event is planned on the original course?Quote:

I saw no mention of the 1.3 track. I am going to go out on a limb and say it will be the standard counter-clockwise 1.7 configuration. ;)Quote:

If I have the extra money I would love to go, but I doubt it. I'm buying a new top, gotta pay taxes, need new hockey skates, etc. ::Rant::
I'm just waitin' on them (ECR) to cash my check! You're more than welcome to come out with me for the guest fee: $150Quote:

Mike, I do remember seeing that. I think it was forgotten because nobody replied after that message.Quote:

I sure hope the event comes to fruition. I will be picking up my car from TEAM MER on Sunday. The cage is complete, dash in and I will need to replace suspension, hard top brackets, studs, seats and exhaust. Oh, and that pesky restrictor plate. My reason for telling you this, is I am excited that I will be on the track with other miatas. I get tired of getting run down by GT3s and Z06's. Not that I will not get run down by my fellow miata brethren/sisters, I just really, really, really, really, did I mention really, want to be on the track with like cars. Let's get this event trending for success!!!! I would also like to meet a few of the DFW and any area miata drivers. Living in Tyler, it can be difficult. Especially since I now have spec'ed the car. Plus, I have already paid! I remember back in college as a fraternity punk ;) (ZBT - no I am not Jewish), that I paid a hell of a lot more for cotton and a meal. Tell everyone you can. Hope the event is a success.

interesting. I have some friends here in town that might be interested. I am as well.
My money is in the mail!
Please sign up now before Gary has to scrub the event!Quote:

My vote is currently a maybe, but I will be more for sure when it gets a little closer. $160 is a good price, but still alot for a college kid.
I know the answers to my questions are probably in one of the links but I dont feel like searching :cat: .
1. So I have an MA rated helmet is it ok? (latest SN rating)
2. I do not have a roll bar. It says needed for advanced group so If I am a beginner I will not need one. I have a HT (yeah I know its just fiberglass)
3. will there be any designated hotels or and discount rates set up for out of town guys? (Houston)
thats it for now
M00 Helmet is fine, and you should be fine without a rollbar. There are a few hotels listed in the registration pack... I have stayed at the Holiday Inn Express out there before and it was fine. I would pick whatever one has the best rate.Quote:

How are things looking? I hope this happens, haven't been on track at MSR in few years.
My check will go out 4/20/07.
Would this be acceptable?
snell cl-sp
If you mean the helmet is a CL-SP model by HJC, then it is Snell M2005 rated. It's legit as long as there are no cracks and the chin strap is in good condition.
Sweet! Its practically brand new, only landed on my head 3 times :-P

Well I thought it was funny after a few drinks. ::Banana::
Are 80 Miatas signed in yet? This is definitely something I would want to do, it is just quite a bit of money for me to spend right now.
I am sure hoping to make it out, it's just a matter of money.
I need to visit Gary at the doghouse this weekend and will bring him some ca$h.

[QUOTE=2K Miata;103394] This is not a focus day but a true drivers education event that has never been offered in a "Miata only" event in this area.
/[QUOTE]
Never offered in a "Miata only" event??????? I think NOT!
I must agree. The last time Mike and Gary tried this, they did the same thing...pulled the plug way early. You never saw that with "Miatas at the Ranch". I never gave up, and won't the next time, either ;) The house is finished, so now all it needs is a "SOLD" sign to start planning "Miatas at the Ranch IV".........................Quote:
