Anyone hear about Advanced Auto Parts having spectator tix available at their stores? I called the local AAP and the manager said he received an email and a box but did not have any details. Took my name and was supposed to call back but never heard anything. Called another store today and they had no clue and in fact the manager told me they were not aware of AAP sponsoring any events at TMS. Oh well...buying spectator tix online instead.

I called the Denton location within hours of the announcement. They knew exactly what it was about and said they have tickets.

Thanks for the heads up Chris.

Rag Top Rob...a friend wants to run his Miata with no roll bar at TMS. We emailed Jimi Day and he replied "we will allow a one day entry for autocross, speed stops and road rally with the Miata". Send him a message and see if you can do the one day if still interested.

Had a blast today watching the cars. Wish I had competed. Great job guys.

Had a blast today too. Did my first auto-x and speed stop. Overall I did OK, I think.

Can't wait for the road course tomorrow.

Great weekend with a bunch of Lat-G pals. Enjoyed hanging with friends, old and new. These USCA events do not disappoint. I'm worn out from a ton of seat time the past 2 days. Hope all required to travel, Tu, Bryan, Steve and others made it home safely. I'll post some pics soon.

Seriously, if you are contemplating attending a USCA event, GO DO IT! Jimi and the team put on a great time.

Echo... "GO DO IT!" I Had a great time. I feel for you guys driving home after this event . Im flat worn out. I fell to sleep at 8 on the couch and was in bed by 9. I wish I didnt have to work today. I need to recover. WHAT A WEEKEND!

The Mav survived the road course with no damage... that I know of yet. Need to get under it and inspect EVERYTHING. I dont think I've ever pushed it that hard. I had one "off track" if you want to call it that. I missed a shift and felt it better to take the paved shortcut/runoff than try to make the turn and end up sideways.

Future upgrade list is being created now. Upgrades to include beefing up the panhard bar setup and cooling system. After 10 minutes in 80 temps, the car was running close to 230* which is 20* more than I like to see.

The new tires did well. I cant say they did better than the falkens as I was able to get larger sizes in the NT01 that arent available in the Falcons but I noticed no degradation in traction. On the roadcourse, they held well and provided plenty of confidence to keep pushing harder.

Ditto the above sentiments! I had a blast and this was my first time and I'm wondering how I can scrap up enough cash to travel to another event. A great event and great people all the way around! I was very happy with the TA and the instruction I got on autocross will really give me some things to work on the rest of the summer so I can get my times down a little...

Why were Tucker and Popp in exhibition class?

Smitty, nice job on the sweep!

Based on a post from the Facebooks (can't remember what your derogatory term is for it off the top of my head.)

They were running the new Rival "S"......which aren't available to the public yet, therefore they had to run in the exhibition class.
