This is Sunday March 26th at the Texas Motor Speedway.
I plan on going, who else?
If the sky opens up this weekend, I'll be looking for something the next weekend. Its an option for me. I like running with the PCA. I assume this is the bus lot. That is a fun surface...unless its wet, then its just scary.Quote:

Billy,
I may see you there. What's the cost?
I was thinking about going to a drift event that day, but it's kind of just a silly idea.
$30. for non members
Their registration system is down, but you should be able to RSVP to Wendy Shoffit at their website to let her know you are coming.
Is there a max number of participants? Is there a registration cut off date?
Typically they do not restrict the number of entrants. You can register on site the day of the event, but they prefer that you register ahead of time to limit the number of cars that need to be teched the day of the event.Quote:

I sent in my email to Wendy and will be ready for Sunday. I plan to have my new harness installed by then to compliment the rollbar and race seat. This should be good practice for an eventual S2K race....
Any new takers out there for this weekend? Remember, tops down allowed.
Looks like it's going to be a really nice day Sunday.
Of course it is....S2K isn't running.Quote:

Ill probably head out for this one. What are the classes. I am not sure if I want to run on race rubber or street tires.
I think they have a fairly complicated method of figuring out classing. I'm not sure if that's just for the Porsches though.Quote:

For PCA, your class will be 'OJ'....being 'Other: Japanese'. Tires do not matter to them, unless you have a porsche.Quote:

This was my first time running the car in full CSP form and I love it! I still need to get an intake (and a 99 engine :rolleyes:), but the TEIN flex coilovers V710s are really awesome.
I wish I would have run in the same run group as more of you so we could get some more time to chat. Maybe next time.
Sorry I missed it. Very sorry. We made it back home from my grandma's funeral about 2:01 this morning. I set the alarm & hit the sack, but knew then I wouldn't be going, as 101 fevers don't just disappear... BTW... 16 hours in the car with a 101 fever is GREAT FUN!
Sorry to hear about your grandmother, TC.
Glad to see your back safe...
TC, sorry to hear about your grandmother and that must have been an awful drive. I'll see you out at the next one and get better!
Sorry about your grandma TC. You and your family have my condolences.
It may have been slick, but your car stuck the best out there. Those were crazy times you had in that NA- just about TToD, I think.Quote:

You rolled in with a 56.5? crazy.
58.0 is definitely nothing to laugh about, especially on street tires!Quote:

BTW, I think Rick Gonzales ran a 54 something in that yellow 914 on slicks with the 6 cyl. He's a really nice guy and owns a Miata (black and tan NA). I've seen him at a couple BMWCCA events racing it.
:D Here's a pic my friend took of the car. The wheels with the 25mm offset do not stick out of the fenders surprisingly. Just some proof for Merv, who thought they would.
That looks great!
Car looks good, funny there is only one porsche in that pic:cat:Quote:

Kevin Hardison. Check the Mav PCA website or email Wendy. I'm sure she's got contact info for him.Quote:

Did you guys have to run that day with your tops up?
I had family come into town last minute and couldn't make it.
Nope, we just keep out tops up between runs to keep the weather out.Quote:
