I are dumb. ;) Thanks :)
I still haz a fuel rail leak and my thread sealant didn't arrive today. Looks like I'm working on the car in the wee-hours of the night next week.
where has jeff_man been? is he going to this event at msr-c?
he's got himself a scat cat? what a puss (no pun intended) well, we can't all be superstars. lol
I have a job for him as a urinal in my scat dungeon. I'm full of coffee and asparagus.
Anybody know of anywhere cheap/free to stay out there friday night?
There's a motel 6 in Benbrook I've stayed at. I know some have stayed in Granbury too.
I think The Lodge in Granbury is the cheapest.
MaxQ Data is on the lam!!!! Well, not answering phone or email so it looks like I won't have lap-times for the event this weekend. :(
just so you guys know. if you stay at the new best western across the street from the track, ask for the nasa tx. racing track discount. it's $20 cheaper.
$10 spectator admission if anyone's planning on going to watch.
Wow, I've never paid to spectate at MSR.
Registered and in. Never done a NASA event before - Can I tech the car myself or do I need to have my shop here tech it?
Lots of fun, perfect weather, good company and good times. No spectator $10 fee (although it was on the paperwork?). Got there at the crack of dawn Saturday, and they were sold out of transponders (note to self, get ther on Friday to tech, etc..). Thanks to S2B for setting up the Miata Challenge and for loaning me the transponder (even though it crapped out LOL). Big thanks to ZX-Tex for loaning me his GPS/Bluetoot/Ipod thingy so I could get a decent lap recorded (1:27.3). Not sure if it was my best, but it will have to do...
Nice seeing the gang, and putting faces/cars to handles. Some very fast company and I need to step up alot. My plan worked on the last session, gridded up front behind Colin-MX5 (first out, NB w/FastForward supercharger) and The Geezer (very fast NC). Following them to try and learn helped lots. Here's a vid of the last session: Colin goes off at around 4:11 and Geezer gets by. Colin quickly recovers and the fun begins on the next turn... http://vimeo.com/10160118
Looking forward to the next TXMC date. Good times, good times.

thanks for coming out SixAce. it was nice meeting you, good looking car and good driving out there!
first off, i would like to thank everyone for coming out and participating. some of you guys drove pretty far to join us, and even those that live nearby took time out of your busy lives to help develop our cars and driving while having a blast doing it. those of you that didn't make it missed out on a great time. anyway's i better get to it before i fall asleep.
