We should run Charlotte Road Course, we haven't done that yet. As for car, doesn't matter to me.

Sounds good.
Might as well stick w/ the MX-5 and Roadster.... or maybe the Solstice.

Thoughts?

I'd say the Miata. Changing both the track & car would be harder for those who have used neither. Especially on short notice.

I'm slow in everything. :P

Actually, I'm thinking Summit Point Raceway - Jefferson Course, with a mixed class of the Miatas and Solstice (they all seem to run about the same times).

This would mirror the inRacingNews Challenge series running this week. In a couple weeks time, that series is running Charlotte Motor Speedway - Road Course. We could just mirror the whole series, and get lots of practice in.

Ok I've booked us at Jefferson with the Miata's.

Room opens at 7:30, 50mins for practice, 20mins for quali and then a 40 lap race.

That's too bad... you missed a wild practice session. The Jefferson Course is brutal until you get the hang of it.

I saved the replay. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd create some pics / video clips.

It was a fun race.... congratz to Paul on the win and for driving an incident free race!
On a course like that to not even put a tire wrong in 40 laps is impressive... to win is incredible!

Yup. Spun a few times. Had to go the pits for repairs.

I spun across the entrance to pit row ...and they black flagged me for exiting the pits improperly :roll:

Wondered where you've been....

Would Tuesday nights work better? We're thinking of changing the night so as not to conflict with the new Skip Barber Racing School Premier Series. Jason & I are both going to win the 3-Day Racing School. ;)

Depends what shift I'm on....I either work Sunday to Wednesday or Tuesday to Friday...so probably the best day/night for me would be Saturdays
