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: Winchester July 26th Results

What a fun course, definitely a work out for my little pea brain. But I needed that, last time at Winchester I was finding it very difficult to focus, yesterday, I focused on focusing! and doing that I managed to get through the morning runs without going off course, not fast, but at least mostly cl...

Re: Body Shop for Miata Rust Repair - Frederick/Rockville

They charged us around $1000. Every other quote was $3k or more. A do it yourself job would be cheaper of course but this was done with correct galvanized metal for structural integrity instead of sanding and filling with bondo. We don't have any welding experience so we could not have done the job ...

Re: Body Shop for Miata Rust Repair - Frederick/Rockville

Yep, we got the repair done about a month or so ago. Got it done at the Fitzgerald Auto Mall body shop in Frederick over by the Emissions Testing station. They did a fabulous job and we're 1/3 the price over everyone else that gave me a quote. Message me if you want their info. I did end up buying t...

Ed, you guys do such a great job. I've attended events held by 5 different clubs so far, and it is Capital that we choose to drive with and focus on. It's very obvious to me (even though this is only my third season autocrossing) that you guys strive to hold amazing events. I really appreciate that ...

Re: Waldorf Feedback

My two cents for what it's worth... 1. How did you like the course? Overall, I enjoyed the course, however, I felt it didn't take full advantage of the fun-factor that could have been available on the bigger lot. There were several chokes and I think it would have tested skill more if people were al...

Body Shop for Miata Rust Repair - Frederick/Rockville

Looking for a shop that will do a good job repairing some rocker panel rust on the Miata. Doesn't have to look perfect, but needs to be a sound and solid repair (no slapping in some bondo and calling it good). Anyone have any recommendations that won't cost me more than the car?

We've got a low-mileage JDM 1.8L stock Miata motor for sale. Excellent condition, approx 35,000 miles. This engine was in our car from July of last year through the end of the season, we opted to drop a built race 1.8L motor in the car this winter. I have the original video compression tests, as wel...

Re: Proposed Changes in 2014 CDC Autocross Series

My only concern was that the original proposal did away with the overall index and created two separate classes - small bore and index and you couldn't do both. This meant that you really couldn't gauge your progress against the entire club, you had to either compete in one group or the other - thus...

Re: Proposed Changes in 2014 CDC Autocross Series

Love the idea of overall and then added prizes for sub-classes or awarding further down the list in overall. This is evolving nicely I think.

Re: Proposed Changes in 2014 CDC Autocross Series

As much as I hate to lose small-bore, I'd rather do that than have a rift in the competition by splitting by just index and small-bore. Part of the fun of the whole thing for us is seeing how we compare to other drivers and striving to reduce separation to the leaders. If people want to see how they...

Ed York at York automotive has a prepped Miata that he's parting out. Chassis is damaged and engine, clutch, springs and shocks are not available but everything else is up for grabs.

Re: Proposed Changes in 2014 CDC Autocross Series

Areddi - small bore is not indexed, it is raw time, except for a tire index. So the larger engines like in the BRZs would have a big hp advantage over the NA Miatas. I can also attest that no matter how good your suspension is, the car only runs as fast as the driver is capable of driving. This poin...

Re: Proposed Changes in 2014 CDC Autocross Series

Here's my 2 cents... I like the idea of having to choose between index and small bore, but I don't like that it could potentially cause a split in the club between these two groups. I would like to propose you consider a third category. I would love to see a raw time series that everyone who compete...
