    Yeah, it is a normal parking lot, we just usually use two spaces each, one for the car, one for the junk. So look for junk in a spot, and usually that spot and the one next to it arent going to work. I would bet most everyone here would rather you park next to us, than the nice lady football players that did at one event earlier this year.

    Cool if I get done it time I'll try to make it out there. Gotta knock the rust off the exhaust first.

    Absolutely! -- well real close to where we park. Turn Right on Allison Ave (second drive past the lake coming from I35 on 114) Click here - dark lot with squiggles is the course Lot just north of that, across Victroy Circle is the paddock and general parking.

    Find someone with an insurance waiver and don't enter the course area during the event unless you have a ride.

    If you don't get there very early, you may have to look around to find us. We'll be either running or working in the first two heats. Find a Miata and ask for a ride. Watching is worse than watching paint dry.

    I believe it is at exit number 65 on 35N headed out of Ft. Worth, it is in the truck stop.

    Pretty sure we meet at 7am. Onething remembers these things better than I do....

    Well, lessee...

    I think I sucked this time. By best was a 54.4 or something. I think Lorin Stoltz turned in a 53.2.

    Darron turned in a blistering 53 flat, I believe. We think he had some nitrous hidden.

    SixAce turned in a 55 on his first day. A very nice start!

    I learned that the TMS bus lot is slick and I need to choose a better line and speed to compensate.

    Well, I was planning on racing my Miata, but after I had passed tech and walked the course, onething noticed a nice nail in my right front tire. That two nails in two tires in 3 weeks. Anyway, I raced his car again. It was nice to meet jrj512 and sixace, and it was good to see driftdevil again. My best was a 54.7 or somthing like that

    The water in the pool was perfect all day today. And I must say the bacon wrapped jalapenos were awesome!

    That was too much fun! I was fortunate enough to work the heat you guys ran and learned alot (missed a few cones 'cause I was studying your lines).

    1st in novice on my first outing? Obviously the studying paid off. Now if can only get half as smooth as all of you looked... I really felt that I was just thrashing around and the car and the tires saved me.

    I can see where this could become addicting. Fun in the sun, lots o nice cars and nicer people. And still home in time to watch Phil blow up on 18

    Oh well, almost game time. Now to cheer for the Mavs

    Great day. Thanks again for all the help.

    2nd place in G Stock with a 53.4xx sec. for me. Most of my first run was with the windshield wipers on high speed. First time in a while that I did that.

    It was warm, no very warm...no hot. But I still had fun.

    Great to meet SixAce.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Very Nice SixAce!! I was nice meeting you also!

    I won CS with a clean 50.109 Mr. Baker was close on my heels. I also pulled a 49.748 out but sadly I got a cone call on that one, would sure like to know what cone I hit......

    Blew one of my run because of a down cone saw it pointed it out but like a dumb I didn't stop, wished I had would have like a rerun.......

    My favorite part of the day, I pull up to the line and Ozcop announces over the PA "Next is Mick Harrison in the formally nationally competitive CS Miata."

    Hey what was up with the Kid Cart Yesterday??? The ringleader was running back an forth waving his arm in the air like a crazy man, you could tell he was about to blow a 50 amp fuse.

    I had a great time and i was quite happy with my runs. Best run was a clean 52.9; don't think I've ever been faster than Mr. Stolz before. Of course, his indexed time beat mine though.
    It was great seeing everyone out on a fantastic Sunday afternoon. Missed meeting SixAce, maybe next time.
