Ed, the shoe string setup sounds good. My only comment would be the timing by stopwatch. I'm not sure if we could get a high level of accuracy with stopwatches. Granted, it's only for fun, but part of the fun is seeing how your times stack up.

I'm down for a december autocross. I need some resolution for the season

More info here. I'm not smart enough to run two threads.

I'll call you this weekend, Mike. You may want to edit your last post and take your phone # down. It's not always a good idea to put your phone number or email on messageboards.

All tires are shaved. Depths for the Toyos range from 1/32 to 3/32. Priced to move, $30/tire.

My co-worker asked me to help sell some stuff. Toyo RA1 205/50/15 - 6 or 7 sets of them (off of a miata) Hoosier A6 275/40/17 - 2 used sets. One brand new (off of a Cobra) Team Dynamics 15x7 12 spoke wheels. Very light wheels for spec miata. Cash preferred, pickup in Gainesville, VA preferred. This ...

I am in favor of the current system. It's easy, it's simple. I like the fact that I compete against a variety of cars in the 1.01 class. I like that little mods don't bump me into a class that I don't want to be in. I have heard no gripes other than that people are not putting down the correct modif...

1989 Country Squire Station Wagon

I agree,

I liked the cross in the middle as opposed to a pinch, if that makes any sense

I'm psyched, car's all ready for tomorrow

I think I'm going to hyperfest afterwards.

I suggested a long time ago having a corner captain (holds radio and unfurled flag and acts as spotter for runners) and 1 or more runners at every corner station. The corner captain would be a worker with some experience. thats how it should be IMO. i do believe for SCCA, they assign an experienced...

On Hoosiers IIRC

Results are now posted http://www.capitaldrivingclub.com/results.html Kyle/somebody, Under the "2008 Driver Championship Points" table, it looks like some names are listed separately as opposed to being added together. I am listed twice as: "Mark A 85" for the 3/30 event "M...

In retrospect, good call on cancelling last week. SCCA insisted on running the event today. They had to cancel the event before half of the people got to go. I spent 5 hours out there and didn't get one run. I would have rather had it called off than wasted my entire day.

I had a professional certification test on friday at the Kena temple in Fairfax (shriners). HUGE parking lot. Kind of narrow, but very autocrossable, and centrally located. I don't know if anyone has ever looked into it. http://tileprint.web.mapquest.com/tileprint.php?type=hyb&size=650,571&s...

Looks nice out now. Of course, if the event was still on it would be pouring rain. Damned if you do...

Thank god for AWD and a fixed roof.

Great event today. I posted some pics on the flickr page...

... went to the curb a long time ago.

It's the first event of the season! SCCA, AI, etc don't start for a few weeks.

My winter project was putting on 5 pounds, drinking beer and playing too much playstation.

Mission accomplished

As far as the car goes, new swaybars and endlinks.

Thanks Ed. I think this is agreeable.
