Easy directions if you've never been to the Mineral Ring:

- Take 113 N into Milsap... and after the railroad tracks turn left onto FM3028.
- Take 3028 to FM1195 and turn right to go NB on 1195
- Go NB on 1195 until you come to a stop sign and see the brick Mineral Wells airport sign on the SE corner and a water tower on your right. This is FM1821. Turn Right.
- Once onto 1821 turn right at the first fork (Harvey Road) go left at the next fork, (Airport Road) and then take the left fork at the next road... you will pass a hangar and go onto the edge of the autocross tarmac...

PLEASE stay to the right as you enter and be aware of the pointer cones that will prevent you from driving onto the course.... Find a spot to park along the fence in the paddock..... The trip is 80 miles one way from Vista Ridge Mall (I-35 and I-121 in Lewisville) and takes about 75 minutes.

Looks like a fun/fast course. I will do the SCCA event on Sunday. Two events in a weekend is a little to much of a good thing. I will miss it.

Good grief...

I'm planning on being there, but I am pretty sure I'll have difficulty with that course.

Should be fun though!

I registered but only 5 are committed so far. Is there a chance that this event will get cancelled?

BMW attendees always register late. I am not sure why. Stupid BMW drivers. ;)

I registered. I also registered my father, who will be driving an Auto-X for the first time.

I'll be bringing my father-in-law and my brother-in-law as well. Both are visiting from Japan and are looking forward to seeing it all!

One thing, I think my father will need a loaner helmet, probably a size L. My head is too small for me to share with him...

That's going to be an awfully uncomfortable ride with 3 grown men in 1 Miata for 90 mins.

Yes, I've always had a clown car fantasy.

I can't. I have to be there for course setup.

My brother-in-law is here from Japan, and would like to drive, if he can. He is a licensed driver in Japan, but has no US license. Is this allowable?

On a side note, he does track days in Japan. Previous car was a '95 Integra Type-R, current is an S2000 Type-V.

Just sign him up and don't mention anything about the license or his residence. I doubt it would matter, anyway.

He does not speak English, so it would be difficult to hide that!

Also, could I even DO a 3-Driver car? I don't think I have even heard of that.

Regardless, he will probably just watch.

given the pace at the NTAXS/BMW events I've been to, I think a 3 driver car there would work better than at any of the other clubs.

Ken, did you have FTD?

I believe he did at ~87 Sec.

Yep. 87.8.
Video is very shaky. Still trying to find a better mounting method.
