March 21st, 2015 Harry Grove Results
Sorry for the delay. Still getting the new results file set up. Here are the results for our first event this year. Let me know if you see any issues by posting in this thread or sending me a PM. The Championship Points sheet will be updated soon, and I will also post the recorded runs from the T&T. I am also working on updating our system to reflect the new SCCA Solo classes and index values.

Afternoon runs were great. This is my best of the day. Bonus ending of my destroying 4 cones.

Re: March 21st, 2015 Harry Grove Results
Our new suspension was officially broken in on Saturday and Sunday, with 7 drivers for a total of 59 runs! Surprisingly, no one spun the car! (I would have put money on someone spinning it...myself, if not someone else). Thanks to our co-drivers for helping us test it out.
We had a scary situation on Sunday when, as Denise was pulling up in grid, I heard a creaking sound coming from the rear driver's side wheel. Two of the four lug nuts on the wheel were loose (not even finger tight). Oooops. Must have forgotten to torque that wheel?! This happened after about 57 of the aforementioned runs, too. I had heard it creaking a couple runs before that, but didn't know why.
Here's my fastest from the weekend (which wasn't clean, but for raw speed purposes it's my best). The banter at the end was when a certain someone jumped on the back of the car without informing me, and luckily wasn't hurt from me pulling forward.

My pro-tip for the day - Buy one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Neiko-2-Inch-Torq ... B000Z1WEC6
I keep this in my kit now. Whenever you put your lug nuts on, use the torque stick (80 ft-lbs should be adequate for a Miata). You'll still want to double-check with the torque wrench, but even if you forget, everything should be just fine.

My last run from Sunday: https://youtu.be/YX2QE_qszek
This was within .2sec of my fastest. Believe my best time was 45.8x which happened in the morning.
The new tires warmed up so much faster. I was amazed that by my second lap I had so much grip.

Your Buick was quite entertaining to watch. For top style points, I'd say it might have been a 3-way tie between you, the one with the green front wheels (Sentra?), and the Challenger/Charger from Saturday. Also, I can't imagine anyone getting more time out of that car.

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