I'm on the Gordon's reasonably priced Mexican meal train as long as it's fairly soon after the end of the track session on Saturday. I've got to get up early the next morning and run a 1/2 marathon (the things my wife talks me into &#128529

They have eleven billion things on the menu, and they have covered and glassed off outdoor seating with big overhead propane heaters. It's in South Salinas so it shouldn't be completely retarded as far as pricing goes (eg: no $14 burrito) It should be perfect for a group our size as it'll keep us separated from the general population, will be reasonably warm, they won't try to limit us to a "special menu" as a group, I'm sure they would be happy to do the checks "per table" and no one else is going to want to sit out there in October. They generally have a pretty solid selection of beer on tap too, so that doesn't hurt.

I believe this is the place we are going to. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Anyone need some Miata parts? For the gents here... MSM shocks, MSM rear sway, MSM 6-speed and MSM Torsen. I can bring them to MRLS but prefer not to bring them unless I have them pre-sold.

If you bring the MSM 6-speed you can probably sell it to someone who's blown up theirs at the event for $1500

Anyone else arriving Thursday?

Is there a particular area of the paddock designated for the MT encampment?

You have to designate it yourself. Usually Ian has managed to save some spots.

Still haven't heard from track masters. They really want to keep my money I guess.

My hotel reservation starts Friday. I haven't yet decided if I'm going to drive down Friday morning for TMR or extend my hotel and stay there Thursday night as well (assuming they still have rooms available that night)

I'll be arriving Thursday night and hope to drop the car and trailer in the paddock that night (really need to, so I can sleep in the back of the truck...). I will save some spaces but won't be able to save THAT many without someone else there that night.

Are you guys going to have your spot marked with the kitty caution tape similar to past years? I'd love to stop by and say hello.

Sounds like Ian and Ed can mark off a big chunk of spaces between their trailers.

As long as people don't get all 'tarded again and back-fill behind us and lock us in, we should be OK. That was completely stupid last year.

When are Ed and Ian showing up and dropping trailers? I've still got pink miataturbo caution tape.

Sweet. Richard, are you towing?

I might have more people than will be able to fit in my campsite. Would anyone be willing to have someone share their site in exchange for a few dollhairs?
