I used to be fluent in Spanish and live on Mexican food. Do your worst.

The past few years the dry camping has been empty. We were one of the only miatas there.

RV camping fills up really fast.

Anyone have better contact info for Trackmasters than the "contact" link on their site? I sent them a query several days ago and have yet to receive a response...

I'm trying to get my wife a novice spot on the Friday trackday, but they want a ton of personal info (which, IMHO, they don't need) to register for the site, and I don't want to register just to find out there are no available slots...

I have about 9 emails in, with one "I'll get back to you next week" kind of bullshit. Over about 3-4 weeks now. If anyone has a phone number please post it. They appear to be the BEGi of track days. This is not my first experience like this with them either.

Roda, I'm looking for someone to take my spot on friday. It's not novice but for the purposes of me getting a refund that shouldn't matter. Please pm me or something so we can work out the details with doug.

I just got two tickets from Zellers88. I got a D spot on Saturday and C spot on Sunday. I am in the process of getting hotels and all that stuff now.

I am aiming to be the worst looking ND there because I plan on putting on my 15x8 Enkei PF01's with fresh Conti ECS's, since the stock tires are almost gone and I wouldn't trust them to do the 1300+ mile drive and then run on track.

You'll need smaller brake calipers to fit the 15's AFAIK.

Can join the MT.net camping crew

Yes, I have Flyin Miatas 4-wheel Powerlite caliper kit. I have never camped in my life and I don't have anything to camp with lol.

I am also using all the rest of my vacation on this trip and I have a friend that is meeting me there with his wife. We are all then driving to Vegas afterwards. I am going to be so broke after all of this.

What is the (un)official MT schedule? I saw mention of a dinner a few pages back, but not details on when.

Dinner Saturday night. I don't believe we finalized a venue. Turn12 was pretty tasty food but pretty outrageously priced. Tarpy's the year before was maybe a bit tastier but much more outrageously priced

I believe I got a ticket to the FM Saturday night party from Zellers too. It sounds wine-and-cheesy. I've never been to the area, so I'll go to whatever the chosen place is!

Saturday night party has sounded too wine-and-cheesy for me every year I've been, so I've not attended.
