That would make 2 of us stuck in Houston with busted miatas. My miata is not track ready by any means, but maybe in a few years with some more $$$.

Let's see...

Pads f\r-$230
Tyres(2)- $130
Seat\Belts-$200 atleast, maybe some stuff laying around I could use.
Entry fee\gas\Jimmyhats\etc.-$250

I could potentially make it happen, but lemons is in Feb. and also a CVAR race I will probably do.

Or I could just buy this MR2 I am about to go look at for $1200...

Or I could buy MS like I have wanted to for so long...

Or I could just come and watch

with the people that are sharing a car, a few friends that are registering at the event, a few other people that haven't signed up yet but are def. going, and a few that are in spec miata or a race class, it's lookin' like 17-18 challenge driver's so far!

Oh, no, you waited too long, bitches!

I've beaten my previous record by one tenth, so the bar is even higher (just off the ground ).
Here go the video to prove it.

I am the King of TWS!
(at least until Tanner puts up a video)

Nice driving! I forgot to change the tape in my camera so my 2:00.5 is not on video, just have the traqmate data. I do have some footage from an earlier session I'll post up.

You can hold on to the crown, it'll give you some luck at the MC event at MSR-H. I wont be participating but I may be able to come hang out on Sat.

Good Luck to all of yall that are participating, I'm looking forward to checking out the competition!

Not sure what the current lap record is, but here are the results from the last time NASA ran TWS CCW 2.9

http://www.nasatxracing.com/pdf/gran..._group_5&6.pdf

Looks like the best qualifying lap was 2:01.8. there are a few 1:45 - 1:55 in the race, but i have a feeling that those were not actual laps.
