9:45 8/20. it's gonna be great, ive driven stick like 3 times in my life, and im gonna race the miata! i hope its a stick, it'll be embarassing but fun!

 

So I hear that my buddy Dan put up some fast times today... And got blackflaged, but re-invited back

 

I wasn't able to go, but I heard it was like an amusement park. 1-2 hour lines for one event... kinda sucks...

 

teh mazda zoom-zoom thing was not what i expected. All the "courses" had about an hour wait...except the mx-5 time matching challenge. That had a 3 hour wait.... Basically, I spent roughly 4 hours waiting in line and got 4 minutes "test driving" their cars. At least I got a t-shirt afterwards! haha

 

yeah it was alright. i drove the rx-8...the instructor was cool telling me to floor that **** and stuff. mx-5 was alright, some guy yelled at me cuz he was like "stop rolling back" "you'll hit the other car behind you" and i was like "im just getting the feel for the clutch" and he was like "do you know how to drive stick?" and i was like "yeah" and he was like "this is not the time to learn"...yeah/ well FU! stupid fat boy. anyways i put up a 53 on the mx-5..lol i suck i know. oh yeah i kept rollingback and not engaging the clutch cuz i was in neutral and didnt even realize it, lol. i was like "why isnt the clutch catching?"

 

I was there .. only did the RX-8 drive. Going again tomorrow to try to drive the Miata. Going real early.

 

same here i spent most of my time standing in line. i only did the two miata courses, luckily i got the fast pass for the performance course so by the time i finished my first run i got to get back in pretty quick. and the golf ball in the bowl was a lot harder than i thought it would be.

 

i wont make it tomorrow (today)

 

i am heading over there in a few minutes

 

Don't! Totally not worth it. We spent 2 1/2 hours in line for the RX-8 course that was like 15 seconds, luckily my instructor let me have 2 laps. What a waste of a day
