Gee, it's great to be right. Thanks Ed. Sigh...

Frank got a good deal at Walmart on tires we purchased from TireRack.

Thanks for the fast turnaround on the results Mike! Props to Larry for the course-- this might have been the best ever for using every possible square inch of Harry Grove.

Jared, Sorry it took me so long to post this but here I finally go. FRONT RB hollow sway for NB with RB front brace 500lb springs -2.4 deg camber 1/8" toe out REAR OEM sway 350lb springs -2.8 camber zero toe Dont know the ride height---just whatever it took for Ed York to achieve the camber(but...

impressive piece of equipment. Really cool!

Using the RB hollow bar for the nb on it's softest setting. We were pushing badly at winchester a couple of weeks ago. I'm thinking that with a stiffer rear bar we could eliminate some understeer and if it causes oversteer the front bar could go to a stiffer setting. On the other hand the entire pro...

Here are some pics I snapped of Heats 2 & 3 (morning) - they are a bit "meh" but figured I'd share anyways. As soon as I grabbed the camera (after the shots that were taken of myself), I managed to screw the settings all up, especially for an overcast day as it was :lol: http://www.fl...

Huge thanks to all the organizers! Larry too(at least the course wasn't too long)! All kidding aside- it seems like the events are running incredibly smoothly. Hats off to all of you! And to all of us participants too--- fast heat changes are the secret to much happiness. And that everybody seems to...

Amazing shots! Over a 1000. Thanks!!

What are you driving??

looking for an aftermarket rear sway bar for the bleu miata. We're having some trouble getting it to rotate.

DP Tuning gets $500 for a rev limit bump/remap. You pay shipping both ways.

My tach is off by 600+ RPMs at redline. I don't know if the NB tach is similarly useless. Some timing lights have an RPM readout. You can use that as well. On mine I need to divide the displayed number by two because of the wasted spark setup. Errr wait... those newfangled NBs have some sort of sem...

Used an OBDII reader the first time and it didn't show any change but
Dptuning says their bench test showed a 650 rpm increase in rev limit. That's why I'm looking for an alternate method.

Just got my ECU back from DP Tuning for the second time. Sent it out to have the rev limiter bumped. For the second time it appears unchanged. Looking for a way to check the RPM's beyond simply reading the tach. Appreciate any ideas.

So my turbine wheel snapped off its shaft :) http://s95367906.onlinehome.us/photo/mt.net/DSC_0710s.jpg Bummer about the turbine wheel but I am now happy that I did not drive your car even though I said I would. I would have been really unhappy if your car had broken when I was driving it. Hoping yo...

Sounds like a lot of fun but I'll be out of town that week:(

If I wasn't going to be in Florida that weekend this would be my first road rally. I'm sure I could get my wife to participate and Gitfiddles is a nice little country bar and restaurant. What Mike said-- does Joe organize any other rallys throughout the year?

Looks like it was a fun course! Really sorry I missed it. See you June 2.

I agree with Wade-- Ed is a reasonable man and if you treat CDC fairly I believe he will treat you fairly as well. A simple email is all it takes.(not the day of the event, though!) Simple Respect for each other.

Harry Grove April 21st Results Let me know if you see any problems with the results, either by posting in this thread or sending me a private message. I think that Dam Franklin is cheating. There is no way that PURPLE miata should be that much faster than the Bleu miata. His Smallbore 100 should ha...

Welcome to CDC. You didn't say if you are new to AX or just new to CDC. In either case I think you'll find that CDC is a fun and friendly club to autocross with.

nice job Dan. If I didn't hit that cone you would have beaten me by .02

It's going to be a fun year!

Thanks, Joe-the car really seems to be coming together.
