[nb8c]

Is anyone here willing to go this event here?

[Caoboy]

I believe Moti and Lenny will be in attendance. I can't afford it right now unfortunately.

[VagaXt]

I may be there if I get work off that day.

[Blackbird]

I'll be there both days, trying to de-rust the driver.
No major expectations here, I'll be happy if I break into the 2:0X.

I'm thinking of camping at the track saturday night, is anyone else down for some BBQ and beer?

I like it, but you should definitely spend some cash on safety equipment.

I would like to go, but it work sundays, if it was a satuday event, i would be all over being there. (not driving though too poor for that) :-)

[nb8c]

I bought a seat and 6 pts point belt,but they didn't come on time. driving in stock seat feel scare.

The event runs both saturday and sunday, the MC runs sunday.
I'll be there on both days, camping at the track on the night between with every intention to BBQ.
You're welcome to come and hang out :)

[Caoboy]

I just wish I could afford it. :(

Perhaps a little later in the season. I miss you guys.

[Blackbird]

The concept of camping and BBQ will repeat itself throughout the season, so if you can't make it this time shoot for the next one..

If anyone is planning on catching up with the group on saturday night to BBQ let me know ASAP.
Trying to come up with the game plan, how many people, who's bringing what etc...

I won't make it Saturday night, but I'm definitely in to drive hard in Modified class. Let's do this!

[JTninja]

Uhh, really want to but dont have a proper seat...dont want to track with a stock seat and a 5-point installed....

Hoping for Chuckwalla!

Then track with a stock seat and an OEM belt. It's probably safer that way.

[JTninja]

Didn't come with one, and not spending the money on one when im just getting bucket in within a months time

[nb8c]

Plan change ,just get my new wheel and tire in on time.gonna running mod class now.

Here's my fast lap that won Modified class in Miata Challenge. There is definitely more time to be had and I was slightly disappointed; I was expecting low 2:05s and getting close to Spec Miata records with a budget PTE/E3 build. Slipping clutch, some traffic, warped rotors were factors. The first and third items are problems that I didn't know about since Monty last ran, which was Chumpcar at ACS in October 2011. I didn't drive Monty on the second day of that Chumpcar event.

I didn't finish the last session of the day, which definitely was the optimal time to run the fast lap, but I had to end early due to running out of gas and a left front fender that was cutting the tire.

[VagaXt]

Results are up. Great job to all the podium finishers. Very close and tight.

One more video from last Sunday. I got some nice footage of a "Miata mob" at the beginning of the 1st green session. For a bit, it felt like a W2W race. You can also see Emilio's 95R speed away in this too.
