It says I'm in so I must be going.
I plan on going.
BTW, it will be my first race in the TMS lot.
Mrs. Cone-cerned got called for jury duty on Monday. Our trip to Atlanta is on hold, so I will be there.
Same here the SCCA must be psychic! ::Blink::Quote:

I'm in, in my car. I think i found some tires.
I'd drive my own car on snow tires after all the waiting :rolleyes:
::Whisp:: psstt..that's a hint sparky. wake up and smell the rubber.Quote:

That's what I was thinking, I went a couple seasons before I ever got a second set of rims....Quote:

Not to join the crew of ragging on you ...but man , come on! You have your own Miata now. Drive it as is! :burnrubr: Learn your car. One event is not going to kill your street tires.Quote:

He's soooo sensitive :rolleyes: but he can still drive my car anytime he wants.Quote:

Well, I believe Solo RX7, the dude in charge of this event, will tell you that being "Always in a borrowed car" aint so bad...
If your's isn't ready, drive mine. Peer pressure sucks.
stupid question but will they let me park with you guys if I just want to come and check it all out? I've never been an auto-x and would like to check it out if I get back in time from Thomas's house.(picking up his exhaust)
Yeah, it is a normal parking lot, we just usually use two spaces each, one for the car, one for the junk. So look for junk in a spot, and usually that spot and the one next to it arent going to work. I would bet most everyone here would rather you park next to us, than the nice lady football players that did at one event earlier this year.Quote:

Absolutely! -- well real close to where we park. Turn Right on Allison Ave (second drive past the lake coming from I35 on 114) Click here - dark lot with squiggles is the course Lot just north of that, across Victroy Circle is the paddock and general parking.Quote:

If you don't get there very early, you may have to look around to find us. We'll be either running or working in the first two heats. Find a Miata and ask for a ride. Watching is worse than watching paint dry.
Are we meeting at the golden arches super club before the event?? What time??
Where is it? I will prolly swing by.Quote:

Darron turned in a blistering 53 flat, I believe. We think he had some nitrous hidden. ;)
SixAce turned in a 55 on his first day. A very nice start!
I learned that the TMS bus lot is slick and I need to choose a better line and speed to compensate.
Onething, POS Racing, and Cone-cerned, how did you all do?
Well, I was planning on racing my Miata, but after I had passed tech and walked the course, onething noticed a nice nail in my right front tire. :( That two nails in two tires in 3 weeks. Anyway, I raced his car again. It was nice to meet jrj512 and sixace, and it was good to see driftdevil again. My best was a 54.7 or somthing like that
Sounds like you guys had a good time. Wish I could have been there... boooo, school. :( I hate midterms!
The water in the pool was perfect all day today. And I must say the bacon wrapped jalapenos were awesome!
That was too much fun! I was fortunate enough to work the heat you guys ran and learned alot (missed a few cones 'cause I was studying your lines).
1st in novice on my first outing? Obviously the studying paid off. Now if can only get half as smooth as all of you looked... I really felt that I was just thrashing around and the car and the tires saved me.
I can see where this could become addicting. Fun in the sun, lots o nice cars and nicer people. And still home in time to watch Phil blow up on 18 :(
Oh well, almost game time. Now to cheer for the Mavs :clap:
Great day. Thanks again for all the help.
SA
I hated pointing out the nail in blackzx3_13's tire, but it was the Safe thing to do. . . beyond that, I :oops:
2nd place ::Flag:: in G Stock with a 53.4xx sec. for me.:burnrubr: Most of my first run was with the windshield wipers on high speed. ::Clown:: First time in a while that I did that.
It was warm, no very warm...no hot. But I still had fun.
Great to meet SixAce.
Wow, great job!Quote:

Blew one of my run because of a down cone saw it pointed it out but like a dumb ::Bum:: I didn't stop, wished I had would have like a rerun.......
My favorite part of the day, I pull up to the line and Ozcop announces over the PA "Next is Mick Harrison in the formally nationally competitive CS Miata." ::Censor:: ;)
Hey what was up with the Kid Cart Yesterday??? The ringleader was running back an forth waving his arm in the air like a crazy man, you could tell he was about to blow a 50 amp fuse. :(
I had a great time and i was quite happy with my runs. Best run was a clean 52.9; don't think I've ever been faster than Mr. Stolz before. Of course, his indexed time beat mine though. :-(
It was great seeing everyone out on a fantastic Sunday afternoon. Missed meeting SixAce, maybe next time.
Midterms? Sounds like you were in Ohio this weekend buying an RX-7! ::Bleh::Quote:
