Re: NASA Summer Breeeeeze

Summer breeze in August and then I think I'm doing SCCA PDX in September. NASA NE is at Watkins Glen in September though, I could do that one instead if anyone wants to go... :)

NASA Summer Breeeeeze

I expect it will be a warm breeze. Maybe in the 100* range. Who's with me? My last instructor said my point-bys were exemplary so, Goldbach, if you want to join me in group 2 I am ready.

Re: School Me

SCCA level 1 is really basic. They go over how to tech your car, how to work the course/call cones, walking the course maybe? And then you do a bunch of laps with an instructor.

Looks pretty good. It's been suggested to me to go from 5-3 going into turn 1 rather than 5-4-3 FWIW. It made things a little calmer/smoother for me and let me give more attention to braking.

I've taken the wing off. It should be interesting to see how the lap and sector times are affected. Hopefully it stays dry.

Re: FS Feeler - 1990 Track Miata, the silver 681

How many miles are on the engine? Is it a MD car or a VA car and does it have a current inspection? As far as I know it's the original engine so 215,500. Haven't checked the VIN on the engine - I could do that. It's a MD car and it's registered historic so I've never had it inspected. I'm not sure ...

FS Feeler - 1990 Track Miata, the silver 681

I need to get into a spec miata and I'm looking to see what kind of market there is for my car. If I can't get what I need for it then I will just build it. This car is very competitive at CDC - I've won 3 of the 4 events I've attended. It is also a lot of fun on the track and has been reliable for ...

Re: Auto shop in Frederick for suspension work?

I like Chris Windsor. His shop is in Thurmont pretty close to Frederick. He did some work for me, including corner-balance, and I win sometimes.

Wayyy better than anything I was able to string together :( Next time I'm at Summit I'm going to test with and without the wing and see what my lap times are... I do feel like I was going faster on the straights...
