    Yes, yes... but your post uses Fathers Day as a reason why attendance by S2000 drivers is low, compared to the Miata count that is at it's normal level. My point is, if Father's day was the reason for lower attendance, it would be lower for everyone -- S2000 drivers and Miata drivers -- and it's only the S2000 drivers that seem to be missing this one. In other words, Father's Day isn't a differentiator between Miata attendance (which is normal-to-high) and S2000 attendance (which is low). I'm just sorry more of them won't be there.

    But I've opened up a space, as I now can't make it to yet another S2000 event -- that means I'm batting 0-for-3 so far this year, and the 4th event isn't looking good for me either!

    Maybe miata drivers don't have any fathers and kids to celibrate with.
    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    How hot was it? Badump

    Been feelin a little all week, and Friday was the worst. Trailer was all hooked up and the cooler was loaded when I decided to go back to bed this morning. When I finally woke up and hit the TV remote, LeMans was on the parade lap

    Thanks to Sammm for the call this AM.

    It wasn't terrible. There was a nice breeze blowing all day and I don't think it got as hot as it was supposed to. I was dreading it, but it turned out to be a great day.

    Another great event hosted by the NTS2K folks! The last car of the day was done running at 2:48pm. 8 runs and done before 3pm! What more could you want? A fastttttttttttttt fun course with enough elements to keep your attention. Congrats to Joe.Miata who took first place in Miata Street Tire!
