    There are always other miatas out there. I found an NB that I love more than the first one. Gotta take care of the other priorities first though if this is what is bringing you to this decision.

    Starts at 8am, $25 for 15 minute parade lap. The earlier you get there the faster the groups are from my past experience (been going 3 years). They also have ride alongs for $10 in an atom, and something bmw brings. Last year it was an m5 or something and one of bmws factory drivers did the driving. Slid the car all the way through 3 and 4. 100% of proceeds go to charity, vir does it pro bono.

    That being said, this isn't a track day, there are some idiots who can't drive and end up screwing up their car, but I find it a good way to work on my line at a lower speed.

    Sure thing man. It wont be long before we start stripping the cars out. We bought a horizontal band saw yesterday for cutting roll cage tubing. I'm so excited this is finally happening!

    If you need parts, let me know. There is a guy about 10-15 minutes southeast of me with a private, fairly extensive collection of parts cars, all BMWs. He's a good guy, too.

    Absolutely. I'm not sure when the car's first race will be, but I will certainly be driving it in the August race at VIR next year.

    Just a reminder, charity laps at VIR are tomorrow. I'm going up with a small crew early in the morning leaving from the arena area. If you're interested in joining message me on group me.

    Dude! Let me know how big hero 6 is! I kind of want to see interstellar; I don't need much convincing to see a Christopher Nolan film in theaters
