I guess I need to start on my car.

And that Miata does look awsome!

I should put that picture on my desktop to remind me EVERY DAY.  laugh

What's the exterior finish on that car?  Is it vinyl, vinyl wrap, or paint?

Yup, Jonathan’s Miata photographed so well: the graphics, the stance, the entire package.

It wasnt mtn as i couldnt afford that in the budget but it was close. Some rustoleum green laquer and a sharpie wide pen from lowes lol.

The MTN paint would have been much better and not ran...

Hotel reservations are now open:

https://www.bestwestern.com/Grassroots Motorsports 2000 Challenge 2024

The hotel is usually super busy in April and there's a conference going on, too, so they expect to sell out. I'd make your reservations ASAP.

Man, they don't have rooms on the grm block that work for the 4 of us(we had a king/queen this year) and the non challenge rate is like $259.

How'd the post Challenge track day go this year? Will a track day be on the schedule for 2024 also?

That's how I stayed as well.  Was planning on bringing the family this year.

If you haven't already, I would call the hotel directly. Might just be a quirk with how they have the block put into the system. 

You'll need to log in to post.
