That sounds like a wild ride. I hope I will be able to go that weekend :-)
Is there a prize for the best lap times?
no helmet, no roll bar and nolong sleeve cotton shirts. Guess that leave me out. :(
Buy a cheap shirt, an M00 helmet from your local motorcycle shop, and run with the top up.
Any fixed roof, 4-door "Miatas" allowed? :wink:
Seriously, In a Miata, what difference does it make if the top is up or down without a roll bar?
I would liken it to riding a Motorcycle in leathers vs shorts and a t-shirt. It isn't going to save your life in a really bad accident, but it might be enough to prevent some serious road rash.Quote:

I am in! Went to last one and it was fun! Thanks Gary for taking the time to put this together for a bunch of TCB! This is a bargain for smile/$!
I am currently building a spec miata. I hope to have it complete by that time e period. Can we enter our spec miatas?
Alan
Yes!Quote:

:D
Where are you at on your build?
RJ
Send your pics now, not when you are ready to order parts, as they take their own sweet time (been waiting 2 weeks now) activating your account.Quote:

I then have to install the suspension, complete removal of AC ducting, install kill switch and then have the car balanced and aligned. I will have Team MER balance and align it. That is it so far.Quote:

I called on mine, they don't have the most time to go through the emails. If you have emailed, give em a call and they will get it setup while you are on the phone.Quote:

Mike,
I will get my information in ASAP. I will let the other's know as well. I hope this works out. I would really like to see such a large gathering of miatas.
Alan
I imagine by the time I have the money saved I wont be able to get a slot on the list, but I am crossing my fingers....I have always wanted to go out there.
I am trying to fill out the registration, but I have a question. The $160 (before May 15) includes a T-shart & a dinner?I think this may a typo?! It is too good to be true!Quote:
All participants receive an event t-shirt, and dinner with door prizes after the event is complete.

Thanks Mike for getting this started. I have been out of town for a week and now back. This event like any event takes a lot of time to set up and make happen. We hired Apex Driving School to handle the driving portion of the event to give us more time to interact with our customers.
Our venders such as Moss Motors, Spec clutches, Racing Beat and Ultra Shield to name a few will have products to show. We hope to have a representative from some of these venders present.
Friday will be tech day and demo rides. We will have several TDR customer cars there as well as our cars for track rides.
This event is open to only Miatas.
Gary
Yah, Shannon is a great guy and does great work. He's been so kind as to practically give away take off parts from soon to be spec cars over the past few years!::Banana:: Speaking of, race cars don't need power mirrors so I'll trade ya if you have some!Quote:

I plan on bringing the bar to the TDR event @ MSR, unless it gets sold before!
Alan
TrackDogRacing,
I have signed my check and it is going into the mail Friday, 16. I do have a question. Your policy states that there are no refunds. What if the event does not come to fruition?
Thanks,
Alan
This definitely sounds awesome. Im gonna send payment in very soon!
Thanks for the heads-up on this, Alan.
Can you have a Two driver car?

Drop Gary an email with more information about the level of experience of the two drivers and type of car (stock, boosted, etc).Quote:

We are not promoting people sharing cars but we'll consider it on a individual bases.
Classroom sessions and in-car instruction will bemandatory for novice drivers
Is this included with the $160 registration or is that an extra fee?
Included... It's the deal of the century! ;)Quote:

Alan
Am I qualified as a novice driver? ;)
If you have to ask then probably not. ;-)Quote:

I cannot imagine going all out on the new track in something like a formula Mazda or Corvette challenge car!

Stress points out your weekness. That way you can make it stronger!
