I have never been to one where they require long sleeves. They do require pants.

Do they normally require long sleeve and long pants?

Looks like we get a hour of track time from 5:30 to 6:30, just in time for the storms

Long pants = yes.

I saw a older Miata with a Hardtop at one of the shyster used car places in Front Royal a few days ago. Hardtops are worth about 1K for Miata's

Damn. I didn't think they cost that much. You didn't happen to see the price on the car did you?

I can check for you, It's one of those places that puts the down payment number on the windshield I think.

David - It is a 1994 for 3K. He says it runs great and I saw small dings/scratches. Let me know what your thinking, because if you don't buy it, I might.

Lou, if you want it go for it. I am trying to not take money out of savings to pay for anything. So, it will probably be 2-3 weeks before I sell enough stuff off of the current car to go buy something and it may be gone by then.

Besides, maybe you'll buy it and decide its not for you and let it go for cheap.

I didn't look.

I figured at that price, I assume it needs some work. To track it, I would figure new shocks/coilovers, wheel bearings,brakes, clutch and go from there anyhow.

Here's a video of Pocono North with Del Val Miata. Nothing really exciting, just wanted to post here for some critique.

That has been changing due to increased restrictor plates for 99+. Currently it appears that the 1.8L NA model (ie 97)is the one to get. I would still get a 99.

I never ran the North course, looks like fun,

Kind of bumpy from the oval into the infield.
