Harris Hill Road is a beautiful, flowing, technical, 1.7 mile road course nestled in the hill country halfway between Austin and San Marcos. Great track for a Miata!

Hope to see you at the track! :burnrubr:

I won't make this one, but you Austin and San Antonio guys should be all over it!

HHR is a GREAT track and a lot of fun.

Gonna try and make this happen. Might be hard with moving etc, but would love to see how the new coilovers do.

Sondra, who really helped out with the NTEC May HHR day is organizing this one. A few of our instructors will be there too.

Evos are welcome as well as newbies and novices. Go out and enjoy a great track!

man this sounds like fun.. i might go try it out.

hey goofy, how many finger gap is on ur evox? i probably need to raise my car to do a track day huh? or just stiffening the damping will work? i have 1 finger gap all around on stance gr+ 10k

Would there usually be a alignment tech out there if i need to realign?

itznoraa · Oct 13, 2009, 09:06 PM

lets get more evos out there!

ima go and drag linjy2 with me!

goofygrin · Oct 14, 2009, 08:34 AM

I'm 1-1.5 fingers... but the road course is smoother than autox, so typically road course cars are set up very low.

There's no alignment tech out there. If you've never been, then just run what you brung and have fun.

That is, unless you're going to rub on the fenders if you get suspension travel. Then raise it up or roll the fenders to make sure you don't. Nothing worse then smelling tire burning.

and make sure your exhaust isn't to loud... they don't like that at HHR

^^uh oh, o wells their gonna have to deal with it, RACECARZ!

idk

Yes, they do have noise restrictions. If you have no muffler or are running an open dump you are not going to be able to run.

This sounds like fun, anyone up for a road trip?

linjy2 · Oct 14, 2009, 09:46 PM

can we run e85 on the track?

goofygrin · Oct 15, 2009, 06:26 AM

Of course. HHR does not have gas on site though. There's a gas station a couple miles away on I35. There's an E85 station a few more miles away on I35.

I recommend bringing a few 5 gallon jugs (filled, duh), in order to keep you from having to rush between sessions. I had to do it and it sucked a little bit.

linjy2 · Oct 15, 2009, 12:15 PM

sweet. i plan to bring 2-3 5 gallon jugs of e85.. i hope thats enough.

so how does this track compare to TWS? I only been on that track before.
