Dear Miata Enthusiast,
We have secured a weekend date in the
Spring of 2001. The two day driver education event will be open
to the first eighty Miatas entered, Saturday and Sunday, March
17 and 18, hosted by the Lone Star Miata Outlaws. The event
is full and we are only accepting registration forms from
drivers that have already reserved their spots.
Motorsport Ranch
is a new facility designed as a 'Country Club for Sports Cars'.
It is primarily for use by it's members, but has been made available
for lease a few days each month. The facility includes a 1.7
mile, eleven turn road course, a skid pad, club house (under
construction), paved paddock, control tower, covered grid, and
acres and acres of unobstructed runoff area. The road course
includes something for everyone, with elevation changes, hidden
and off-camber corners, long sweepers, and short, tight esses.
The track is forty feet wide with approximately thirteen hundred
feet of FIA-type curbing on all inside corners and some of the
smoothest asphalt I have ever driven on.
For
those in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, it is an easy drive to the
Motorsport Ranch, southwest to Benbrook, then fifteen minutes
south on 377. For others, the small town of Granbury is another
ten minutes down 377 which has several nice hotels and many Bed
& Breakfast homes near the historic square.
Each entry will include a minimum of
four, twenty-five minute sessions and lunch each day. Classroom
sessions and in-car instruction will be available. Track sessions
will be limited to twenty Miatas and will be grouped by driver
experience. Roll bars will be required only for advanced students,
but are strongly recommended for all participants. Helmets will
be required with a Snell rating of M90, M95, SA90, or SA95. Cost
for the two day event will be $180.00, due by January 15, 2000.
After that date, entry fees increase to $240.00.
Ony Anglade
Event Coordinator
Note: We will only accept
registration forms only from people that have previously contacted
the event organizer.
