I'm still in! Everybody moves up one place in the standings.
I'll be there. Looks like the tire class will provide a lot of fun competition in the Miatas. Usually does.
You may want to knock your name off the list to help the worker chief out. ;)Quote:

That leaves me and Jimmie looking for a ride. Anyone looking for a co-driver?
Jimmie also needs a ride (literally) from Richardson to the event. Anyone heading that way from Richardson/North Dallas/Plano area that could swing by and pick him up?
Matt you and or Jimmie are welcome to drive my STS2 Miata, we may have to split into different classes so we don't hot lap the car Xsts2, tcsp, csp, sts2

Matt, if you want to stay in ES, you and/or Jimmie can drive my Miata, albeit with street tires. I will be there driving in TES, so either of both of you are welcome to drive my car, too. I have a small cooling issue, so we would each need to drive in separate heats and open the hood between each run. I guess we will have three groups based on the number of entrants and I assume you have the pull to get the three of us into separate groups. ;)
It would be great to see what kind of numbers you and Jimmie would turn in my car. It would help me determine where I stand.
I live in NE Fort Worth (by Hurst), so if Jimmie can hitchhike this far, I can get him to the event. I leave at 6:15. ;)
Later,
Jerrett
Anyone up for a 7am @ McDs??
Damn it was hot! Anybody that survived the day deserves a pat on the back, no matter what times they ran!
By the way, I took the scenic route through Millsap to and from the event. It's a nice change, I'm going to go that way more often.
I used to take that route all the time. It's a nice drive, but I've been taking Old Dennis Rd. lately. I'm still not sure which way is faster.Quote:

Again, it was very hot! Darron65 remembered his chair and came back and pick it up. Thanks to jrj512 and onething for helping with the EZ UP.Quote:

That's a fact! Dang it was hot!Quote:

I killed a set of tires yesterday and I have to be in Houston Wednesday morning til Friday so I need to hustle if I plan to make the ER event next Sunday...... :(
BTW. Yesterday Onething and I split at 20 and 180, I beat him to MW and I caught most of the light running 180????
Running 180?Quote:

That was by far the hottest autocross I've ever done. After my first run it really started to get to me and I ended up sitting in the car with the A/C going for a good 10 minutes. I think I'm still trying to recover.
Challenging course, it really messed with me.
Yep, it was hella hot. The course was excellent. Between the heat, old tires, and an off-day I didn't fair well in the results but still had fun sliding around.
I couldn't wait to jump in the Elise for some A/C at the end of the day. Not sure what I was hoping for but it worked for, oh, about 30 miles...way to go Lotus.:punchout:
Thanks to OneThing for his continued tire hauling support.
Hey!! What happened to my fifth run??
Check the trunk...Quote:
