Yep, this one is next on the agenda. Classic event. 3 events of experience required. Y'all know the drill. (and if you don't, click the event registration link and read the details!)

Get Registered! The deadline is May 18th at 6pm.

Wanna see the course map? Of course you do. Part of this one was inspired by a course that Howard designed many years ago.

I'm signed up. :)

I remember Drew designed a course similar to this one many years ago with a cross over in the center.

Nice long course, many runs, lunch, and limited attendance, so where is everyone ? :headscratch:

Wish I could be there, but trying to figure out getting to the night event. It looks like a blast.

I'm going to need a seat for this one. My co-driver is out with visiting relatives. I'll be bringing the S10 to move the trailer and haul supplies, so my car won't be there.

Anybody got something I can drive? (or a few somebodies, I don't care... I enjoy being a car slut)

If you want to keep cleaning the sock on the festiva every 20 minutes, I'll drive the S10 up.

Yeah, I thought about that. I still don't think we should autocross that car until we get the rear fenders rolled.

Maybe I'll just run "Mod Open" and take single runs in whatever anyone will give me the keys to. That's always entertaining.

If you are feeling daring and trust my mechanical ability, I have a spyder. :snicker:

I'm down for that, Scott. Now, I just have to remember how to drive a rear engined car.

Really, it should be about the same. Miatas are mid-engine. Engine is between the axles. 50% weight balance. Small, light, nimble, underpowered, lots of grip.

Should be fun!

I love my car. I actually sold my Audi over the weekend and bought an RV. Mostly because I enjoy driving the Spyder way more.

For some reason I was thinking Memorial Day was next weekend, that may explain the lighter turn out.

Looking forward to it, still on the fence about changing my rear tires, Greg says at least 2 more events left on them, I'm not so sure they will make the trip home.

One way to find out.
Start driving around and around the block. When you hit just about 60 miles, check 'em. :thumbwink:
