I'm in North Dallas near where the DNT and 190 intersect. At this point, I have yet to track a Miata. Still need to get the spare engine to a machine shop for some love.
Do you ever drop by the local meets?

Toddcod 02-15-2009 07:27 PM

I'm in Irving. I haven't hit the track yet either. I have hit 2 local meets in Plano. I have the yellow ricer.

I plan on hitting Hallet with Hustler, Johnwag, Robbie, and Machizmo.

Student at Texas A&M, so College Station. Take it out to TWS about once a month (less now with senior design project)

I like to hang out at Throckmorton and Oaklawn to poz unsuspecting negs. Let me know if you want to meat.

I'm buying a membership at ECR because i straight don't give a fuck.

I just graduated from A&M in '06. Man i loved that place. I used to drive the buses for a couple years and that was a blast. The only place i really go to is TWS about 2 or 3 times a year. We should all go out to TWS some time at a porsche club event or TWS performance school day.

Hustler. You hang out at A&M? I used to go to parties over off of Foch and Nagle all the time at this guy's house who had a bad ass little orange MK1 GTI.

Wow thats a shocker, never saw that coming from you! Ha! Seriously though, i am doing an event on April 26th and 27th at TWS. You guys should come. It is open to everyone, no matter the class you are in.

Rafa 02-16-2009 10:56 AM

Todd; how far away are you from SMU's campus?

rharris19 02-16-2009 11:48 AM

Mess with fire boy, you gonna get burned.....lol. There will be three of us with turbo miatas out there, so hurry up and get your shit in and join us.

karter74 02-16-2009 12:40 PM

I'll definitely sign up now for the 25th and 26th event. I may also try for the April 5th day too. Hopefully I won't have any more cooling issues.

I should (BETTER) have my car running well by then so if I can make it, that sounds like a good time. I've done hundreds of laps at TWS on a bike but not a single fast one in a car. I did drive my truck moderately fast around the NASCAR banking once. They did not like that :)

Who is hosting the track day? Link?

Never mind, found it
http://www.texasworldspeedway.com/in...?action=school

So... driving school... What is the scoop if it is my first time there? If I show them my motorcycle road racing license, and recite in detail the track layout from memory, will they still neuter me on speed or let me go fast?

karter74 02-16-2009 04:17 PM

Sign up at ClubRegistration.net

They may start you out in the Blue group possibly and place an instructor with you just to "make sure" you know you're way around the course and are coherent enough to recognize other cars around you. From there, you can be solo'd in the blue group and asked to be moved into yellow if you are completely dominating blue group people and its getting annoying for you.

Where you doing the parade lap or corner working?

ZX-Tex 02-16-2009 05:12 PM

Corner working a track day.

rharris19 02-16-2009 05:38 PM

Cool i used to corner work there too on the weekends sometimes for the Porsche Club a few years back. Hope to see you out there.

Not to far. About 20 miles. I work about 5 miles from there.

Bond 02-16-2009 08:26 PM

My miata doesn't see the track. It's quite unfortunate. But I am running at TWS this weekend with CVAR. Should be fun.
