    How big is the lot? That course looks either really quick or really small.
    M3 is always the answer.

    Jerrett has exact size. It's a wider than Penn Field & maybe 1/3 longer than Penn Field.

    Surface is like Mineral Wells used to be maybe 15 years ago.

    Btw, entry to the facility is thru Gate 10.

    I guess that means I don't have to show up at 6am for setup.

    Well, you can be first in line.

    Actually, Jerrett is doing setup on Saturday.

    I'm not going to make this one. Allignment is way out of whack, and haven't been able to get it to the shop this week. i installed some offset bushings on the front end so I could get a little more neg camber over the weekend. Right nor it's sitting at something like -4.5L/-3.95R. Not ideal!
    What's left of a '96 Miata with stock clutch.
    My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.

    I was home by 3:00 and stayed for trophies. Not that I got a trophy, but it only seems like the nice thing to do.

    I hate autocross and I can't imagine anyone ever doing this













    See y'all next Sunday

    Texas Motorplex was much better than I feared.

    +1, Well except for the heat.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    I agree. The lot held up much better than expected, not major gravel issues, and the course was more fun than I expected. Too bad it was not a little longer.

    Getting home early gave me time to get my dead Stones replaced with my new Star Specs for next weekend. Hooray!

    Pretty nice event. Home and in the pool by 5pm. Could have been home even earlier had not some folks decided to run over lights, park on lights, walk thru lights...... Site held up well though it was pretty much one line by the 3rd heat. Nice course JR. Good to have position and line management. Thanks to all that made it happen.

    Good event today. The Ennis lot isn't that big, but Jerrett laid out a fun course today.

    Congrats to OZMDD for being stonkin' fast in miatamoto's old NC!
