Gary, thanks for your efforts to pull this off, I know it was a lot of work. For those of you that did not come you missed a great time!

[Adam Payrot]

Another thanks to Gary, Apex and everybody else that made it happen

Great event Gary, well done!! It was great having the oportunity to run our Miatas as hard and fast as we were able.

So did everyone make it home ticket free? I spotted 3 cops along 121 between 35W and the airport parked behind obstacles (an RV, a barricade, and a boat on a trailer sitting on the shoulder). They were all leaning out their door holding their radar guns. The first one got a car along side me. The second one was in a bad spot because you could see the traffic slow down ahead with plenty of room to slow down yourself before getting into the cops line of site. By the 3rd, traffic had wised up and we were all going the speed limit.

Yea I saw a few but no tickets for me.

I was letting a few by on the front straight so I might learn someone else's way to negotiate Rattlesnake more fluidly and was very pleased at re-learning the track in the counter-clockwise direction. It was the first time to run that way. All previous 3 days on the 1.7 were clockwise.....

Great time as always. No spins for me!!!!! I was actually pretty damn consistant and got faster through out the day. My instructor, a guy named Chris was exceptional.


Gary, Apex and all the other's behind the scenes that made this event run smoothly did a great job. Thanks for all your efforts.

When do we get to do this again?

[SixAce]

Good times, good times!

Cost of attending a track event, getting great instruction (thanks Seth), seeing lots of great miatas, meeting some really nice people, dinner, t-shirt, door prize raffle, and having tons of fun and excitement: $160

Being the LAST ticket drawn in the raffle, and having the guy with the next to last ticket drawn before me win a set of RB Sways and PASS ON THEM, and then give them to me by default! PRICELESS!!

Perfect day for a first time track noob.

Quote of the day (Magma): I heard tomatos make your smell?

Good times. Thanks Gary!

[Sharpie]

Now I start to put screen names, with cars and their owners. Sorry I didn't meet everyone and get your names.

I'm Chris, and I was in the #333 car!

Wow... I think I missed that one, but I heard an exchange from Friday night that I think can top it...

miataspeedracer: I can't get it in!

2K Miata: You're doing it wrong!
JDMClassic: You want me to tug on it for a bit?

[boisking]

I had great fun at the event! Thanks to Gary and Mike for getting the whole thing organized. Even bigger thanks to Speed for being my instructor.

Thanks again to everyone who helped me tug on my hose Friday night! It was rather embarrasing to spew all over that parking lot...

You're quite welcome. It's always fun to help out a willing student. I noticed a nice improvement from the first to the last session. Well done!

[Magma]

I would also like to thank TDR for the great time, eve if gary's Instructing is a little more direct than I am used to

[Nexus Flux]

we never leave a miata behind and I'll keep saying it better in a parking lot then on the track.

[blackzx3_13]

I had a great time! One more big thanks to Trackdog and everyone else that helped set this up. It was nice to meet some more of you non-autocross guys. I was in the silver #139 car.

Hey Dan, I told you that you would win something big! Congrats!

[mk2tmr2]

One more shout-out to Gary and the Apex guys for putting on a great event.

Also - thanks to everyone who told me about this forum. Don't know how I didn't come across it on my own :) You'll have to pardon my user name. I use it on all the forums so as not to confuse myself. It's a legacy from my MR2 days.

Anyway - I had a great time. I learned a TON from my instructors and probably even more from that little spin I took in the 4th Intermediate A session. I look forward to the next one. (track day...not spin)
