Re: How do you compare your improvements vs other people?
Also are you guys checking tire temps and pressures after each run? If you know what pressures your car is happy at, you should be bleeding pressure down after each run as the PSI will increase as the tires heat up. I don't check tire temps consistently. On a test day where I have a bunch of runs a...

Re: e30 CDC prep
we need some more activity around here. I'd be glad to post some pictures of my off-season activity but frankly the only thing I've done to my fine Miata since the last CDC autocross in November is hook up the battery tender. I do have a to-do list that should be done before the new season kicks of...

Re: Just bought a 2002 Miata
You're limited to 6 inch wide wheels. Stock wheels aren't heavy at all but you could keep your eyes peeled for '95 M Edition BBS 15x6 which I believe are the lightest stock 15" wheels out there. There are two tires that seem to be over and above all the others right now: Bridgestone RE71R and B...

Afternoon tech on Saturday?
I'm thinking of running two of my cars on Saturday, running home to switch after my morning heat. Will there be an opportunity to get my second car teched after I make the switch?

Re: Waldorf October 11th Results
Nope no reason to take it down.
Biggest thing I took from the comparison was that I was whooping and hollering after my run and you were all "yeah well whatever". That and the CRX is pretty freakin loud.

Re: Waldorf October 11th Results
Those who braved the elements probably had a pretty good day despite them. It never really rained once we got going, but it never really dried out either. I made a late Friday evening decision to run, and brought my daily driver CRX to play. 244K miles, half-prepped for STS. It had four year old R1R...

Re: Rivals or ZII's
I ran shaved pixie dust R1Rs in 2011 and 2012. Switched to Rivals for 2013. Mistake! Back to R1Rs for 2014.
Re: School Me
My non-expert opinion is that if you have more than a handful of events under your belt, there's nothing wrong with skipping Phase 1.

Re: Star Specs?
I'm taking a chance on new stuff. Got 205 Rivals on 7.5 6ULs ready to go. After a couple of years of pushing the easy button with magical R1Rs this will be an interesting experiment.

Re: Educate me about small vintage cars! (MGs, Triumphs, etc
I saw a Fiat Spyder kaput on the side of the road with the hood up last weekend in Sterling. If you're thinking of getting a Triumph or MG, save yourself a LOT of headaches and get a Miata. I've got a 1971 MGB taking up valuable garage space. I bought it in 1987. It was a clunker then and it's a clu...

Re: Feedback from the miata guys...
I have a handful of Miatas including a 93 with open diff and 99 Sport with Torsen. We run the 93 in SCCA STS and wheelspin isn't a big deal, I only get it trying to dig out of tight corners and it's manageable, and the car is competitive locally. Just driving around town I like the extra grunt of th...

Mix and match R-comps for sale (15")
Selling four used R-comp tires. All are used but not used up. No cord showing, plenty of good rubber left. I wanted the wheels they were on more than the tires. Ran these tires three or four times myself and took them off to put street tires on the wheels. 2 Hoosier A6 205/50/15, build date 4608 2 K...
