I'll bring my Colombian passport then
Are we going to have to sign up, or are they picking people at random? I'm assuming mostly for Intermediate and Advanced drivers?

They'll be working with Novice, Intermediate and Advanced, I will see how they want to handle it. Jason is working on the schedule for that weekend. I will let you know how it shakes out.

Cool, can't wait to see it again......
I'll bring some ear plugs and the decibel meter.
Glad you'll get to run her a couple more times before the end of the year, buddy. Were you able to get an alignment on her?

No I didn't do anything with the car since the spring. I want to see if the trans is ok and adjust the carb and go from there.
Yes I had some noise in 4th gear at mid Ohio in the spring. I want to confirm the noise and change out the trans if I need to.

I have to agree with Marc I'm not too sure I like the track. Still a good time and a good chance to get to know what the car can do. Fastest time for me was 48.575, beat the other 2 miatas so I'm happy about that

The track @ Pitt Race is not bad and it is not an easy track to learn, because of the elevation changes and blind spots. Once you get to know your turn in points and find a rhythm, you will get more comfortable. As Marc and I stated, it was a good place to test and tune.....I was testing suspension set ups...I think I found a happy medium for Mid-Oho.
The other good thing is that Pitt Race has ample run off, which saved a few peoples asses when they were over driving their cars!!!! All n all, a great time
