Texas Time Trials is having 3 events at Mineral Wells in October and November. The dates are October 9th, October 30th, and another event on November 20th. Come out for tons of seat time and no standing around shagging cones! There are 2 separate sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon and you can choose either. The cost is $45 for first time attendees, or $40 if you have been to one of our events before.

I have an Intercomp timing transponder and beacon you can borrow if you need extra backup too :)

Well never mind. I really should check my calendar before signing up for things.

In for the 30th... I like to go fast.

See you there and my award.

LOL! I hear you set a new record number of laps. I have a feeling that one will stand for a loooooong time! Have you recovered yet?

Yeah it took a day but ready for some more. BTW remind me about the OBD reader while we are out there if you are still wanting to borrow it.

Will also have fresh tires to run for next event.

Actually I picked up an ELM327 bluetooth OBDII interface that's supposed to work with RaceChrono. Haven't tried it yet though.

How's the Sentra build coming along?

I got the suspension on it, have the head taken apart on my bench, and a trans apart to work on on the garage floor... but otherwise not much real progress.

Been spending more time working on the miata. Still throwing codes every race, but never on the street. Just keep fixing problems with the supercharger kit design... That for some reason only I have.

See yall Saturday.

In - do I still get a rookie T-shirt?

Also in.

Is the course going to run clockwise or counterclockwise? Some of my tires are showing more ware than others and I would like to even them out.

So what time are the two sessions?
If I work till 1pm and cant get there till 2pm, is that too late?

Morning is around 8-Noon Afternoon is around 1 until everyone wants to go home. 2pm would probably be a little to late to show up.

Is anyone going this Saturday? This is still happening right?

For sure happening rain or shine.

I will be there in the afternoon. Did you sign up?

So big congrats to Nathan (slowchildmiata) for setting a new record for most number of laps completed in one day. The new record is 75 laps which will probably stand for a long time! Here is a picture of the trophy:

Nathan get's to hold onto this until someone beats his record!

Yeah the event is actually almost full. Only 2 spots left, one morning and one afternoon. You should come on out! You'll probably know a lot of the people there from autox.

I'm not 100% sure what it is that happens there. It's an autocross with no workers and you just keep running laps over and over?

Not as tight as an autocross course - more track-like. Yes - multiple laps. Pick up what you knock down after your laps - then the next car goes.

Video so you can see what it is like (not my best laps, but shows start to finish of a run while my other videos are only single laps):

And nobody is taking the trophy from me!

Great event today. T2 looks like a promising course especially when we get to use the whole pad.

I am exhausted from beating miatamoto. Have to do that more often ;) Thanks again for taking me up on the offer to co-drive and have something to benchmark against.

Good time today! Fun, fast, busy course.

Good driving slowchildmiata! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once and a while. ;)

Nice driving!

Only lucky blind squirrels.

My original intent was to try and learn some from riding with you, but I don't think I even rode with you once.

I will post video later tonight. According to Racechrono it looks like you were actually faster in the high speed section than me, but I made it up in the NW loop section.

My fastest lap

I didn't get miatamoto's fastest lap on video, but got his attempt to come back after my run

Note that I even let him put the top up for "aero advantage".
