This event marks the annual anniversary of the North Texas S2000 Owners Club autocross events, which are now marketed as the North Texas Autocross Series. The first event was on September 8th, 2001 at Mineral Wells Airport. There were only six participants, which included five Honda S2000s and one Porsche 968. The Porsche had the slowest time, of course.

Please come out to celebrate our anniversary with some great autocrossing!

Free entry to this event will be provided to participants of the original event. Just contact David Temming before you sign up at DLB Racing.

 

Wondering if I should put the dead Direzzas on and finish them at MW. Will someone help me carry my daily wheels to MW in case I blow a Direzza up at MW? LOL

 

I've driven plenty of tires home with strings and wires sticking out, and have never had one blow out. I would just bring 1 spare if you are really concerned about it.

 

Does it count if you weren't there but drive/own one of the cars that was there?

 

I am looking forward to getting back out to Mineral Wells. I love that place even if it is a little hard on tires (really not that bad on street tires). Many parts of the country would kill for a site the size of Mineral Wells, we don't know how lucky we are to have it.

Time to buy some more blue tape.

Yes, I am strange that I dislike the bus lot and love Mineral Wells.

 

The Dunlop's have a layer of hard rubber starting around the ware bars. You may not have a lot of grip on them.

 

I don't have any grip at all on them. I drove on them at the last event at TMS and I was fighting the car so much that I decided not to drive it in the afternoon...
Direzzas are at wear bars and totally dead, I just want to finish them in action with some drifting and some fun

 

No Robert, you're just strange.

Hopefully I can make it out to this one. I like Mineral Wells and the Bus Lot... heck, I like anywhere but Pennington Field (I can't stand that place).

 

Anyone willing to let me co-drive? I don't get my car back til early october~ish.
