Too hot to stack cones, but I will be happy to run both cars with you since we are in the same class. Miatamoto and I used to do it back when we were dating.

I don't know, the Miata doesn't have enough power to grossly slide every corner, AKA Ken style driving :)

I'll trade a run with you! Not as a competition just for fun. I don't think I've ever driven an STS Miata.

Can the registration be extended through tomorrow? I know it usually closes on Thursday night, but I'm waiting for a deposit to post in my PP account.

I would, but I will likely have my car packed up. I have to help with clean-up, so I will be packing up my car early in order to help with cleaning up after the event.

The one day I don't setup the video, I win. LOL. Great competition out there today, and very impressive use of the space to create a 60 second course, though there were a few close calls from people not knowing the course. One of the Maxey's did some heads-up driving to prevent a mishap. Also really cool to see the Ariel Atom!
Very good of BMW to keep the coolers well-stocked and everyone hydrated on a brutally-hot day. Glad I came out.

Hell yes, crusty old Hoosiers still beat crusty old Star Specs. I just need to find a co-driver so I can buy the fresh R comps.

The afternoon session was MUCH better as far as grip went though, I still had fun. Here's my 7th run a 61.8.

I call that heads down driving...meaning I had the brake pedal to the floor, the wheel cranked left, and my eyes closed bracing for impact! It was a fun course...but I could see how a novice would have trouble reading the course. Thanks to the whole club for a good event.

LOL, on to the next car. Vo's car is coming along nicely. I drove Dave's S2K in the afternoon to get a feel for the power difference between the 04 and the 06 (with Flash Pro). The power difference was great but the KW's that Dave is running really need some tweaking. Gotta help him get it right.

We're gunning for you Mike!
