Welcome to the fun. Bring shoes that you can drive in and walk/stand in comfortably. Or bring two sets of shoes.

Doug -- "Millennial" refers to people born around the millennium, not those who've been around for a millennium....

Crap. I'll have to learn yet another language. Good thing I named all my kids "Ben E, Ficiary". Makes life much simpler.
From here on you folks better learn to drive like it's your last run (where's the emocons?- this sucks). Here emocons....here boys....shit.

Well, it's not quite as old as the Mayor, but I've got my Miata up and running again. Hey M3 - I'm back, baby!

This event will be a shake down, then I'll bum a ride for the dog track on the 26th cuz I'm towing the trailer and won't have a car. But assuming it holds together, come April I'll be ready to offer "thankyou co-drives" (if you want to) to everyone who shared with me over the 8 months it took me to make time to fix my car.

My work night ran longer than expected and it looks like I missed registration by about 40 minutes. In the event there's room in late session {or both}, I would love a spot. I fully understand if it's not possible. Rowen Suarez- M0 Porsche 911S. Let me know and I'll pay various bribery fees. Thanks. Have a great event either way!

Although the even IS full, it's not a question of whether or not there is room. Even if there was room, we couldn't let you enter. We have to submit the access list to the airport no later than Monday evening. That's why we close registration when we do, and the list gets sent in very shortly after that.

Don't wait until the last day to register!

I understand. Normally I sign up with plenty of time. This weekend just opened up for me so I tried to get in last minute. Have a great weekend everyone! I'll wear my helmet Saturday regardless.

Welcome back, but don't expect any less whoopings than in M2.

Thanks, Joe.
I'm kinda used to that.
It's gonna be more a shakedown for me and my shoulder than car...I'm not 100% yet. Hmm, excuses starting already... or, am I just sandbagging?

So you're thanking Jr Varsity for a spanking? Time to shoulder some Senior responsibility. Fixing a Miata is like getting a free spa coupon. You like it more with hot rocks.

Joe is killing those Misc People this year and even lets a lady in on the whomping.....Geesh.

Steve that's really weird how your quote learned to "stutter"....whoa.

I just noticed S5 has 5 cars this event. It makes me almost wish the Festy was stock. Almost.

No it doesn't. Not one bit.

Postby **Loren** » Wed Mar 09, 2016 8:26 pm

Yeah, I much prefer the non-understeering FASTiva.

Makes me wish I had 195 tires so I could play in S5 instead of being stuck with all these bloody Miatas

I'm sure I suggested that to you when you were tire shopping.

I'm surprised none of the Miata guys have made a go of S5. (or M4, for that matter)

Oh good, Keith Robertson is in S4.

I look forward to losing to him by 3 seconds.
