I'm interested in NJ in June... What's the scoop? I'm registered for Summit Point - Shenandoah Circuit for August! I figure I would spread out my track days and sprinkle a little AutoX in between to get me through this driving season. I've never done NJMP, but i've heard the thunderbolt course is f...

For sale is a brand new coolant re-route kit for the 1990-2005 Mazda Miata. This kit greatly improves the cooling effectiveness of the engine, which has a poorly designed cooling system, promoting extra power and greater engine safety and drivability. The following parts are included in the kit: - B...

SOLD TO A FELLOW CDC'ER.

I have (4) Nitto NT01 tires, 205/50/15, r compound 100 treadware. They were used at the start of last season for one autocross (at which they helped the Integra score 99 points, darn you Wade!) and at 6 time trial weekends with NASA. Time Trials are shorter than full HPDE sessions, so 6 weekends is ...

Ignition timing was way off (retarded), but the car did pretty well for being stock (and overweight...) plus FM swaybars.

I would love to get an alignment sometime this week before sundays test and tune and i will be calling around tomorrow to see what can be worked out, but I was just wondering how everyone else accomplishes this during the week when you are at work during business hours. I would rather not take a da...

I'll be driving at most of the NASA events in time trials with the black integra. I'll also be instructing.

I added a new feature that compares what your run time would be with the old index vs the new index.

I think tire index changes would require some independent testing to get it accurate. We could start to gather data on it this season, or review last season's data, but there are so many variables (car, setup, driver, weather) it would be tough. I didn't propose any changes to the tire index mainly ...

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bffLPakzsLyYRtwICe-kJwnQ0su9A0qFRwblM7jUcFU/edit?usp=sharing All, The above spreadsheet is a plug and play tool for calculating an index based on linear values between powers and weights, instead of discrete, step-wise index values. This is recommended because...

DTD has a pretty good sale going, $100 off any set of 4 wheels and up to $100 off a set of 4 tires, and double your total rebate if you have their credit card. For instance, you could get (4) 15x8 konig dial-in wheels for $280 shipped or (4) yokohama AD08R tires for $296 shipped. Seems like a good d...

Any rumblings on venue or schedule stuff yet? We are working on the schedule right now. I know we will be at Waldorf 6 times next year. I have the tentative dates but will post them when the other location dates are secured (we often have to move things around to match the various location schedule...

i like to run 205's on an 8" wide wheels. Extra contact patch and sidewall stability and pressure stability.

My brother's selling a 4-door civic ex, but it's 5-speed...

I really enjoy the '65 Daytona coupe print I received last season. But i'm afraid it's making me want to build a FFR replica!!

Thanks for the share, Ed.

My main concern with variable weight and HP index is how it will look on the results. Right now, we show our index label (C244) and it's not difficult to figure out what that means (street tires, 201-250HP, 3,001-3,500lbs). I'm not sure how to break that down into adjustable values without displayi...

Waldorf is AWESOME. Can we get more of it next season? ;) I like the idea of afternoon only. Perhaps instead of the 45 minute delay you could have one or two organizers have a parallel safety talk while the event is still proceeding, and the afternoon-only drivers could watch the cars vice actually ...

Perhaps some folks would be interested in seeing the lean, mean, green, neon expresso machine from in-car!

Fun course!

Mike, my afternoon runs were taken in my dad's neon. Would you mind adjusting the index for those runs? Thanks in advance.

They just seperated our groups.

He should put the wings back on.

but then would the tips touch the ground while cornering?

I really liked the course. Open and flowing.

The grid seemed to work great.

My lines look pretty similar to Jay's. It's also a good illustration of a near stock miata versus a nicely prepared example. http://youtu.be/jLqZO_dE-58

It looks like we will have a decent cdc turnout for oktoberfast! The tentative schedule shows you tt fellows warming up with hpde3 - I want to try and follow for at least a few turns! Sounds great to me! I can use the warm-up session to re-bed my brakes and have some fun. Hopefully we continue to h...

For sale is a GENUINE Mazda Miata tan leather rear window protector. This is not a cheap aftermarket version. This item installs on the rear shelf with snap buttons and protects plastic rear windows from scratches to keep them looking new. The item is in great condition. This should fit all Miatas 1...

Now i can set FTD - thanks Eric!
