Re: NASA @ summit 4/26-27

I'm in, who wit me? I'll be there in HPDE 3. They still won't let me in TT even though my time at VIR would have been good enough to win TTD that weekend even though I was on still on street tires. I need to do this event in HPDE 3 and then the following week I'll be back at VIR and should get the ...

Re: TNT Autocross Saturday Feb 22nd at Harry Grove

Okay, so apparently break in is only 2-300 miles which I will have by the time I drive out to Frederick, so FR-S it is. Need to get used to driving it after driving the miata all winter.

Re: TNT Autocross Saturday Feb 22nd at Harry Grove

Still in the break-in period for the new clutch I put on my FR-S which means no hard launches, so no autocross for now. Why did you get a new clutch? It can't have that many miles on it. The break in period for the clutch that was put in the mini last year was the 140 mile drive from the dealer to ...

Re: TNT Autocross Saturday Feb 22nd at Harry Grove

All right, snagged the last spot! Guess I'll be testing out my "new" miata on autocross for the first time. Still in the break-in period for the new clutch I put on my FR-S which means no hard launches, so no autocross for now.

Semi-serious. If your only trying to get it to events, that wouldn't be all that bad. I certainly wouldn't want to do it to a daily driver though.

Re: Racedaze

I would cage mine and volunteer but I don't have tow rig for track days and autocross. Just because its caged doesn't mean you cant drive it on the road. You just may want to wear a helmet and HANS device while you do so. Plus I'm pretty sure your car is old enough to register as historic (if it is...

Re: Racedaze

Best bet would probably to buy a spec miata or maybe spec e30. Probably going to cost around $10k That said, I have a 94 miata in decent condition that I wouldn't mind getting caged. I don't have the money for it this year though, dumping it all into the FR-S. It hasn't seen a track day, but it wou...

Re: Proposed Changes in 2014 CDC Autocross Series

I am skeptical they can't be competitive. Considering Josh finished 4th in the index, the addition of 5(per facebook?) events at Waldorf... Josh what does your car weigh?...

While it's too late to sign up, is anyone else going to be there? I'll be there both days in the Black group. This will be my second time at VIR, Tuesday being the first time on the Grand Course.

That sucks but at least your car came out relatively undamaged body wise, which cant be said for the 3 or 4 other black flag incidents. One Mustang in Blue (I think) group literally went less than 100 yards out of the pits and ended up in the wall, ending his weekend. Another Mustang then ate it com...

For those of you more knowledgeable of Miatas than I, would this be a pretty good one to get? http://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/4027086785.html Figure it has the 1.8, might have the LSD (although they did say it was the base model, but that can probably be swapped in easily enough), and although i...

Re: Where to buy cones / Rallycross course design

Where is this corn field located? CDC gets cones from Blaze Cones http://www.blazecone.com/ and use the standard 18" cone. I believe the cost per cone is over $10 when you include shipping (we order over 50 at a time). What do you plan to do with timing? The corn field is located in Lancaster,...
