Much woot. Guess the lady yesterday was confused. Back to your regularly scheduled campsite plans.

Just as a heads up, I'll be bringing scales down and be weighing cars for $20. So if anyone is curious about weight, now's the time to find out. I may also do a competition of lightest and heaviest (cue NC jokes) where the winner/loser gets their money back plus $20. Should be fun.

What a cool idea. I'm super curious about mine and have been trying to find time to head out to a truck scale. That would, of course, require that my car can go anywhere under it's own power...

I just got mine moving again last night Just as a heads up, truck scales aren't always the most accurate thing for a 2000lb car. My girlfriend's mustang read about 200lb different on a truck scale haha

Getting the final touches done on this car (see: cool numbers) for the Miata Reunion. Finally turbocharged for this year! Trackspeed superlite brake kit and an oil change is the last bits to get done. My twin brother and I will be there Saturday and Sunday doing hot laps so drop by and say hi.

TSE 6258 kit, 227hp 209tq, 700/400 xidas, 15x10 dekagrams, 245 RC-1's, etc. etc. etc.

Still need some finishing touches to both the Exocet and Track Rat (neither will be turbo’ed by the event ☹️)

If anyone knows someone who won’t make their Saturday C or B spot, I’ll take it off their hands. Otherwise I’ll only be hot lapping on Sunday but will be there both days with my friends who will be driving on Saturday and Sunday.

I now have an engine sitting in my engine bay. I feel like my probability of making it out on the track just doubled. Sorry Cxracer. If it all goes horribly wrong I'll know how to call.

Is there any interest in a MT.net photo group, or are you all too cool for that kind of thing?

I'm going to hopefully not forget the turbo kitty tape this year. We should be able to save a good amount of paddock space.

Bring something heavy to attach the tape to. I've tried using cones in the past but they're too light and the wind blows them around.

I'll be getting there Friday afternoon (as soon as they'll let me into the track, which is probably 5, given the TMR event that day), and will try to stake out a lot. I'll aim for around our usual area, but it looks like they're now reserving the very front row for more vendor stuff, so we might wind up having to shift backwards. Target area here:

Is anyone else bringing a trailer to leave in the paddock? They're heavy enough that we ought to be able to string tape between two of them.

I can leave a trailer in the parking lot on Friday night if need be, then move it over to the fence on Saturday morning as people roll in, but if we can section off enough space with Ian, Aidan, and stewart's 3 trailers that'd be better I think.

I will bring turbo kitty tape.

I plan to arrive fairly early on Friday and go for a drive before the BBQ - planning to tow up with the RV. What's everyone's friday plans?
