I'm going to probably test suspension again this weekend. I can't sign up until I obtain a truck of course...hopefully I'll be on that list soon. So how many hired killers are showing up to this which we don't know of yet? Am I going to have to compete against mofos with a bunch of trophies and shit who are going to make me wish I never showed up?

I'm going to have to drop another $190 and drive four hours each way (and probably $80 to spend the night in the Benbrook Motel 6) just to come in last place in Unlimited for the MSR Cresson event.
I'll do it, though, to ensure the success of the Texas Miata Challenge. :bowdown: |

Well, I don't really want to drop $250 for track time, drive 4-hours each way, just so I can blow the car up and or get curb stomped.
the $40 nasa membership is a 1 time deal. and i assume your adding amb rental. not sure how you would blow your car up. this track has some of the slowest avg. speeds of the series. :jerkit: i drove 7 hours each way to go to msr-c for the tdr event a few months back. like i said at the begining, get tough. and you guys are missing out if you're getting rooms. the track is where it's at. pitch a tent or some of our friends have enclosed trailers that we sleep in. just bring a sleeping bag and extra blankets. it get's cold at night in jan/feb. we'll be there drinking beer and talkin' shit all night. |

I actually have a very, very bad attitude. My father has disappeared again so I don't know what's up with my potential truck, and that will preclude me from competing because I refuse to get marooned in Houston.

Negative, I won't create that situation. I will however sell it on the spot for a loss. :giggle:
See thats not so hard...lol |
here is a hpde tech sheet. you can print it out and have it filled out and ready before you get to the track. it'll save a little time.
http://www.nasaproracing.com/images/..._hpde_tech.pdf |
in case you guys missed it, here's the link to register for the first event at msr-h on jan. 30th: https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/1013
not sure why the link on nasatx website isn't working but it would have led you here anyway. also, i noticed there isn't an option for the transponder rental. i'm assuming that they will be doing that the day of the event. possibly due to people being upset they were sold out even though they had pre-paid for one. it might also help registration at the track run smoother since they won't be giving out refunds because someone didn't get one. so remember, as soon as you get there, go and register and pick-up your amb transponder. |
Anybody want a co-driver? Doubt the fender will be fixed before this happens.
Also, an enclosed trailer for a miata just popped up on CL here in Austin: Cargo Trailer, Built to haul Miata $4,000 "Reply to: sale-jhhn3-1537118441@craigslist.org Custom designed to haul a Mazda Miata, 16' Pace American Shadow cargo trailer with 5' tonage and electric brakes. Has 1 walk-in door and 1 escape door in addition to the loading door. Though designed to haul a small vehicle, this trailer hauls furniture and other stuff well, too! Integrated roof with high-tech sealant Wall posts at 16" centers .030 Smooth Aluminum External Steel framing around all doors Independent torsion suspensions Two step, premium paint process All wiring in grommets through the frame 4 wheels 2 interior lights #1 Brand Name, with the highest resale value Excellent condition! Original price $6,000. Call Owen at 512-656-6995 " Chris |
That trailer is perfect!
|
We are going to be making a 26' for the miata plus a work bench area and a bed. That may make it to some of the events. We really want it before June when we do the chump car 24 hour race in Dallas.
|
It looks like I may drive the Miata to Houston with a tire trailer, rather than pull it. I guess I can leave the car with Rob if I break it and drive back down to fix it.
5-hours each way in an aluminum seat is going to be awesome. |
Which class should I sign up for in HPDE?
