I hope not. I won't get on the track if its scary. How many sessions do we get, and how many cars on track?

I would think they would try to keep this pretty safe. Maybe 30-35 cars on track? Two groups and a bike group maybe 4-5 25 min. sessions.

Who knows?

I'm just out there to learn the track since I'm competing in MC this season. It should be fun and I'm throwing tax-deductible ching-dow down for charity.

No my car is a DD. I go to school and work so the miata is mainly street. Just doing this track event for fun. I am going to try to run my 125 shifter with SWRA this year, Formula ford in CVAR, and lemons. Plus my car is a POS beater, one of the fenders looks like it is made out of paper mache. lol

"Just whoring."

I think I'm done with the skinnies. However, it had to be great to see a green miata with a big dent, skinny, heinous wheels screwed up with brake dust and brake-fluid shoe prints. lol

The best part of the day...I never had to put a wrench on the car. The powerplant was flawless. John Day builds a hell of a motor, Tim Fodor builds great hot-parts, and Trey is a badass tuner for simple engine management.

Very fun day. My first time ever to go miatating on track.

Things I learned:

1. Do not expect stock brakes to stop you for more than 10 minutes if driving hard.

2. Never try to run all-season tyres on the track. ******* brutal.

3. I want a spec boxter.

I wish they would do more of these type of events. It is cheap, fun, and a good way to get on the track. Though not as awesome as "real racing", I can still say I had a good time finding the limits of my car.

It was also good to see Trey not blow his **** up. And I'm pretty sure johnwags was going quicker than me despite the power difference.

All in all, pretty damn good track event for $50. Can't beat that.

Bond,
I'll let you use my 205 nt-01s if you want, I'm about done with them. The tires are free and you can rent the wheels. lol

Take Hustlers old nt01's and get some cheap track pads and come play. If you have 1.8 brakes I might be able to get you some 1 track day left yellow stuffs.
