Forcast is for 70 degrees! Sounds like a perfect Christmas present to go to the Ranch. Anyone else???????

You wouldn't even be the first one there in the afternoon... ::Bleh::

I'm off work as well. Maybe Merv should draw names out of a hat? :mrgreen:

Nah... as I see it, I win because Treibenschnell is so difficult to pronounce! ;)

But it doesn't matter, I'd never make it on time... :punchout:

Hey, there's more than one Ranch member in the club here. Just have to talk them into joining Merv out there and bringing ya as their guest!

I went Sunday with Keith and some friends. Had a blast, despite the cold weather. Even with messed up alignment and stock pads I had major compliments on how fast I was pushing the ole 90 out there! Start bidding guys...tons of fun!

I can tell you guys that it IS a blast to get out there on the track!

I'll be wrenching on my car this Friday... Need to get the crank pulley swapped out and the timing set correctly, do some wiring for the power window, and get the racing seat installed...

Any advice on using the racing seat with stock seatbelt? I don't want to put a harness in until I get a roll cage installed.

Next week my Quick Release and adapter will be coming in from OK Miata and I'll have the Momo 78 steering wheel installed.

One would think that a guest would be willing to pay a bit since the member had a $2400 up-front fee, $75/month dues, plus the session fees! That said, my plan is to be at the Ranch about 10AM. It should be warming nicely by then. Will probably do three sessions, then off to Granbury. If you're interested in that schedule, PM me.

Sounds like it wouldn't be too much to ask for the guest to at least cover the members session fees for the day. :burnrubr:

Well, the family boss informed me that I'll be doing some last-minute Christmas shopping tomorrow afternoon, so I'm out. :sad:

I'm not being greedy. $5 extra per session would be fine...... I'm just so tired of people wanting....no....expecting....something for free :(

I think that's perfectly reasonable. I would have been willing to do so... but I'll be stuck doing my late apexing around shopping aisles tomorrow. :sad:

So it's an open invitation with one of these * .

* Invitee takes care of session fees for both guest and host.... ahh, very nice!

I agree as well...

Like I said, I don't expect a guest to pay $40/session (20+20). $25 would be fine. Just a little something to help with gas or lunch....... Thanks for understanding, guys :clap:

Now, who was next in line behind Iain??????

I'd love to go, but I don't have a car ready for the track. I don't want to put my 03 back out on it and the Spec isn't ready yet...

It's too windy out today for the '99 :cat:

Actually I need to get the '99 some tires the OEM Michelins are at the wear bars, I'm beginning to think the last owner may have raced the car some. ::Clown::
