Lindsay and Mike in DC 12/10
Hey Folks, Apologies if this is the wrong place to put this on the forum, but Lindsay and I will be in DC for the weekend on 12/10 and would love to catch up with the CDC gang while we're in town. We're sad that we weren't able to hit up any autocrosses this year, but would love to at least catch up...
Re: TIRES
Joe, you mentioned the tires on sale. We actually paid the same price for our R1Rs at Radial Tire in Silver Spring. Paul takes good care of us and he's a racer. They usually have all the popular race tires in stock or can get them in a day or two. He got us our wheels cheaper than anywhere else too...

Re: wtb affordable, reliable safe sedan
It seems all of our cars come with a checklist of "things you should know before driving", so I guess we're out of the picture. At any rate, good lucK!

Re: Harry Grove September 13th Results
My runs were pretty similar to that. Wet times were about 5 seconds slower. Never ceases to amaze me how much I learn about driving while autocrossing in the wet.

Re: Proposed Changes in 2014 CDC Autocross Series
So, I'm chiming in super late and can understand the all of the different points being made. Nick, I can completely see the slippery slope argument that you're making, and if it turned into that, we would have to make a change at the end of the season. That being said, the IT guy within me wants to ...

Re: Dent Repair Interest at Bowie
Lol, that's a fair point.. 9. 8. They all look the same.
In light of this new information, I'd love to bring the Miata and have a dent taken out of it!

I'd love to bring the Miata to have the dent removed, but I'm driving the truck / trailer to the event with now way to get it there. Lindsay will already be in FL for the wedding, so I'm kinda stuck.

Re: Next CDC Autox on Saturday June 1st
Hahaha, I did the whole "first gear for a run" bit last year. Had a blast, ate through a ton of tire, laughed a lot, and was incredibly slow :twisted: . What tires did you end up going with? We'll have the Miata tomorrow, but I'm thinking I'll bring the Vette out to Winchester, even with m...

Re: FRS/BRZ Series??
I'll re-iterate the point that's been made here a few times (of course, my opinion only): we don't run SCCA classes for a reason. Can you argue that the CDC classes favor certain cars? Sure you could.That being said, the simplicity of the CDC classes is what makes them beautiful. As soon as we start...

Re: Next CDC Autocross SATurday May 4th Bowie
Yeah, I really wish you could still get the XS's in the right size...would be the perfect option. Only trouble with the Hoosiers is that you go through 3-5 sets per year. At 1800 a pop, it becomes difficult to justify in a hear.

Re: Alignment in the Alexandria Area
I'm far too inaccurate to do my own (ask Jeff Goldsmith ;)). NTB in Springfield (just off of Braddock Road and the Beltway) will align your car to any spec you would like. They also have a deal where you can pay extra to get alignments for 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years. They were more than happy to us...

Re: Next CDC Autocross SATurday May 4th Bowie
Sweet car! Great to see some direct competition - maybe I'll have to bring the Vette out this year, after all. No HooHoo's for me this year with wedding planning and all. I'm with you - not sure why nobody makes a decent tire in c6 Z06 sizes...I recently sent an email begging BFG to make the rival i...

Lucky devil. Mine have been in the garage for 3 weeks but am still waiting on the wheels to put them on. Apparently there have been "supplier problems" in Thailand. Just my luck, eh? Can't wait to see how they perform - though, to be honest, I'm hoping for warmth and sunshine at the next e...

Anyone have a spare set of 15+" Miata wheels / tires
So here's the deal: I have a set of BFG Rivals sitting in my garage, but due to supplier delays, no wheels to mount them on until mid may sometime. No problem, I thought...we'll just keep driving on the all seasons. That worked great, but they have now gotten to the point of starting to blow out (we...

Re: Next CDC Autox Bowie Saturday Oct 13th
Should be a great event. Had hoped to have the alignment done on the vette (and the chance to flilp the Hoosiers on the rims), but travel this week blocks me. Guess I'll be rollin' in the rolla!
