Just around the corner we have ER #2 at lovely Mineral Wells! If you haven't run an ER event these guys put on a good show (no matter what Altiain says. :tongue: ). Plus if you opt for PAX you get 6 runs! Not just 3, but 6 runs! (ooohhh.... aahhh.... :wink: )
We can meet up at our normal McD's and caravan up to Mineral Wells!
So who's going!
I'll be cleaning up my car to put on ebay :(
I'm in "tire conservation mode" for the Tour (unless one of you fine gentlemen want to donate to the Team Cheap Bastard cause) so I won't be there. :wink:
Besides, I've still got all of the homework I put off over Spring Break to catch up on... :study:
I'll be there, fighting for last place in CS. And I'm definitely up for meeting at McDonalds... but I'd prefer to meet at the McDonalds in Mineral Wells at about 7:30am. That gives you plenty of time to prep you car and walk the course... without missing the Driver's Meeting. :oops:
I can live with that, but if we have any new folks who have never been out to Mineral wells let me know and we can meet up in route, and head for the McD's in Mineral Wells!Quote:

I'm not sure I understand the difference between meetingt at McD's at exit 418 at 7:00 and McD's in M Wells at 7:30... I prefer the McD's at 418 by far, and you don't have to drive past the event to get there.
Thanks for the offer, tailchaser, but if I want to continue to do well this semester then I need to get nose deep in the books this weekend... :cry:Quote:

In the end, it's about the same, but being closer to the site earlier in the day feels like it gives me a better chance to get there early enough.
And as for driving past the turn in for the AirPark, it's gotta be less than a mile up the road. Adds what... 2 miles to the total trip? I thought you were trying to cord some tires anyway. :P
well, I was planning to go, but methinks the spinning triangle gods are out to get me...
Not 100% yet, but I suspect my toy car went "pop"
I'll be there.
OH NO!!!! :shock:Quote:

Good thing I went and got another mode of transportation last night.. (can you say tow vehicle?) The 7 will probably just hang out peacefully for a bit whiel I play with the miata (if it ever gets here!)
Have fun this weekend guys!

Looks like we may have some visitors! 8)
Getting in a little extra practice before the tour, I suppose... Wonder what kind of shocks Chris has... Hopefully the surface at the Wells will completely befuddle him.
I'll be there. I changed out the spark plugs and put in new NGK wires. It seems to run a little better. Can't wait to get the major tune up down! It is 52K already. I am sure the last owner is not as anal in maintaining the car.

What time can we honestly say the whole event would be wrapped up at? I know ER's website states 4 or 5 pm... but I have to be in downtown Dallas by 5pm. So is it more wishful thinking on my part?
That might be wishful thinking. However, you can certainly go, let the registration people know you need to leave early, and see if you can get your wokr and run assignments placed in the earlier heats - I assume ER is still running the old run/work format (which would allow this), but I don't know, since I haven't been out to any of their events this year.
Damn.
That's it... I'm setting up a slalom in the parking lot at work. :wink:
Gotta get my seat time somehow.
Well? How are your weaseling skils?? :pig:Quote:

Well if your scared maybe you should stay home! :flower: :wink:Quote:

So far I believe the following folks will be at MW.
Who am I missing???
- Sammm (?)
POS
Tailchaser
Gab
JRW
Kestrel
onething (?)
I'd imagine the General and johnbaker will also attend! :wink:
Well, the weather is looking a little iffy, but fortunately it looks like the "iffy part" is early in the day (hopefully before we get to the site). I plan to be there, but remember, I'm a fair-weather autocrosser! :P
So here's the final decision on "meeting up" (courtesy of tailchaser and POS Racing, with a little of my own "flavoring" added in):
Meet at the McDonald's on 20, located at exit 418 on the left (south) side of the road at 7:00am. That exit is about 3.5 miles past where 30 merges into 20, and 1.5 miles past Farmer Road (exit 420). That should get us to the MW AirPark by 8:30am... maybe a little sooner.
We're so glad you approve...Quote:

Of course, what new folks are we trying to help? The list that POS just posted seems to be made up of seasoned AXers.Quote:

I'm sorry dude I just can't go that far without any coffee! :P :wink:Quote:
