If my Emira is not in yet, can I join in another sports car? The wait is painful .

Absolutely! I went to my first LOG (LOG24 in Birmingham AL in 2004) in my Miata because my Elise hadn't arrived yet. Took first place in the autocross in the Everything That's Not a Lotus class. Had a great time and made friends I still have today.

That's awesome! I look forward to meeting you and hearing about some previous LOG events.

I think a couple of spots are left if anyone wants to register for the COTA track day on Sunday, September 29th, through ChinTrackDays.com.

COTA: Sunday ONLY, 1-day. Solo Drivers only. Presented by: 8Twelve Wheels Sun, 9/29/2024 | Chin Track Days

The event is only open to advanced racers with previous experience, so if you haven't done an event with Chin before, you will automatically be considered a novice when you register on their site. There's a place on the registration to input your racing experience, and you can also follow up with an email to them so they can bump you up to advanced so that you can enter for the event (that's what I had to do).

Hey - I have done tons of go kart racing and a couple of quick track events like 1 hour at the Porsche experience center in LA. Do you think that would suffice to join this "advanced" event?

And is it necessary to sign up separately for the other driving events (autocross and Monday HPDE)? I am not seeing that information on the website. Thanks!

I'm not sure, but it's worth asking them!

The Lotus event is completely separate from this track day; it just happens to be the same weekend, so they are trying to get as many Lotus on the track as they can on that Sunday. I think they have a Lotus parade lap for those of us attending. Otherwise, everything needs to be signed up separately, as I understand it.

A little birdy told me that Lotus USA is bringing a couple of AMG Turbo Emiras to LOG43 in Austin.

Excellent! I wouldn't mind checking one of those out.

I made it just in time for the end of the meet-up in Marble Falls, and wow, what a turnout! So many incredible cars were on display—it was amazing to see!

This event was right in my backyard but unfortunately I was not able to make it - looks like y'all had fun though!
