    Maybe 25-30 minutes, depending on how fast you drive. Its a little over 20 miles, though only 15 as the crow flies. The Devil's Backbone is nearby too, which will probably be one of the tour routes.

    Hello,
    Wednesday I will have a track day schedule posted, There will be some open track time for cars and drivers that are properly equipped. We have arranged for open track time on Friday Nov. 1st in the afternoon for cars and drivers that are same as above must be properly equipped.

    To participate in the roundup event you must show up at the host hotel and sign in. At that time we issue a wrist band of different color than the rest, that will allow you to run during open track time.

    We hope to have a strong turn out from DFWMiata. This can lead into pure annual track event if we have a good showing and interest.

    Thanks
    Paul Bellew
    President of Tejas Miata
    Courtesy is a expected during the event

    Dunno about the necessity of a roll bar in a Miata but I think it's a REALLY good idea for a Miata on the track.

    Sorry to hear that Sammm. BR a roll bar is more important on the street than track. I would think you of all people would know that.

    Lets not have the roll bar debate, yet again. If someone wants to read endless threads full of absurd proclamations about the safety/danger of roll bars on miatas, just go to the pointy board.

    Donut shops should have Roll Bars where I can sit on a stool and have me a cinnamon roll.
