Sorry, I contributed to the un-turnout. I'm hardcore enough to race/work in this weather, but getting to Missouri and back (at dark-thirty, below freezing) might have been hardcore enough to spend a few hours in a ditch.

yeah, sorry i was a little late. i got there just a little after 9 and heard from the guy in the "hybrid" rx7 that i would have been number 9. still just 11 more to go.

i guess just see you next year.

i may or may not have practiced a little anyway. well, i did drive all the way out there, right?

I might not have played either.

when were you not out there not practicing? i seriously must have just missed you guys. i was goin koo-koo out there for the neighbors for like 20 mins straight. there was this river to ford and everything. just like "oregon trail."

i was really wanting to see your car run. MR2s are nice for this. i think i passed you on the highway too. maybe like right after you got it. i passed a dead ringer, if not, on 65 south entering branson a few weeks ago. it came from TX, right. i think this even had TX plates.

I was off of BB by Saddlebrook, and down by Home Depot. I took it one afternoon, so you could have seen it. I don't have TX plates though. I took those off, and the 2 window stickers off the day after I got it back here in October. There is another one, N/A te same color as mine running around somewhere.
We left a little after 9, so if the RX7 was there, you just missed us. I am a newbie, and was looking forward to trying the deuce out, but the weather was rough when it rained. Wet traction would have been OK, just heavy rain is for the ducks. See ya next year hopefully.

Three of us did the ozark ring, and it was a blast! sorry not more of you wanted to participate. It was a little compensation for not doing the autocross sunday.

I have to say, it rained as hard as it ever has since I've been in Missouri. With all that, my Kumho Ecsta MX's performed surprisingly well even though they are work to the wear bars now.

I love that drive. It's a bit of a stretch to get there but I love it.

OZARKRING!
