Re: STX solstice discussion split from Tim's for sale thread...

I have no ax to grind with you Craig. My point was to allow ALL the MX 5's the same allowance. IF you care to know about the .975 index please go the SCCA Forums and look at Rick Ruth's posts in the event results. Your explanation on the MS-R is right out of the SEB playbook. Old news for us. Thanks...

Re: STX solstice discussion split from Tim's for sale thread...

You missed my point Craig. You might want of go back a few posts and read the message exchange with Jason Isley. I have been waiting for Jason to answer. More than likely he can't hence the no reply. I was pointing out the decision the SEB made in early 07 to allow the 2007 MX 5 Base to have the MS-...

Re: STX solstice discussion split from Tim's for sale thread...

Seems that Jason Isley has decided not to reply. I'm pretty sure Jason chose not to rebut because the facts speak for themselves. One question that was never answered by the SEB is WHY all the other years of Miata's weren't allowed to buy springs for their cars? IF the SEB had allowed that then the ...

Re: STX solstice discussion split from Tim's for sale thread...

Time to delete this thread Marshall. Open venting and ranting is over. Ryan is laughing at me for being the way I am. Re read some of the stuff I wrote and I'm laughing at myself. One of those cases where a 72 year old man went off into the red mist and exercised suspect judgement at the keyboard. I...

Re: STX solstice discussion split from Tim's for sale thread...

I did edit this post Seb. Sorry if you read the first version. Yes we did have a conversation about the Solstice. As a matter of fact I remember telling you I wasn't concerned about the Solstice being moved to B/S because our Solstice is a stock Solstice with the ZOK package added. We could remove t...

Re: STX solstice discussion split from Tim's for sale thread...

Edited this post Jason. Sorry if you read the first one. Again you make my point about MS-R's and results. Take Ryan out of the equation and the MS-R would have won every year. That is 6 for 6 the MS-R Jason. If you and I had could choose the best car for C/S we both would take the MS-R for several ...

Overly emotional? You can say that Jason. I would describe ALL the ranting that I have done as venting my displeasure with the volunteer board. Expedient decisions particularly irk me which brings us right back to why I have ventured out to vent publically. My attempt to address the board was basica...

Re: National Champion Solstice For Sale

Support the changes? Are you saying that the SEB moving the stock Solstice to B/S is something you support? Of course C/S is dying with convoluted classing decisions as one of the main factors. The MSR decision is the worst I have seen in my 9 years of solo. We could still be running our 99 Miata af...

Re: National Champion Solstice For Sale

Well Jason it's good to have knowledgeable input from a ex SEB volunteer. Always appreciate help making my points. Let's see you said the process of classing your RX8 from STU to STX worked. I'm sure it did; for you. How sweet to get a 4 time Natl Champ B/S car moved down the next year from STU to S...

Re: National Champion Solstice For Sale

Hey Reijo, long time no see. In SCCA's defense they are not banning our car. The SEB is moving the the ZOK Solstice and MS-R Miata to B/S so that every owner of a ZOK Solstice in America is hung out to dry and the MS-R owners will have to take a big PAX hit. Now it appears that the SEB is also movin...

Re: National Champion Solstice For Sale

We can talk at the next event Ira. Don't think there is going to be any changes in the way scca solo classes cars and creates classes. Would hope the SEB board views dissidents with some form of empathy. Of course there are some who view the SEB as having a nefarious agenda based on the history that...

Re: National Champion Solstice For Sale

You make me smile Steve. You know what the smart guys tell me? Write a letter to the seb. I did after 5 years of just beating whoever they decided to throw into C/S. I truly believe we could prepare any of the cars that have been added to C/S since 2010 and Ryan would realize the same results we enj...

Re: National Champion Solstice For Sale

Helpful? Always nice to talk with you Mark. As you can see by my post count I have never been one for expressing my opinions over the internet even though I am more opinionated than most due to life experiences. STX is the same ruleset as STR. Roughly speaking, STR is for two seater sports cars and...

Re: National Champion Solstice For Sale

No Marshall...Not going there. For 18K our 99 can be a handful in STR but we are experiencing a declining income and am not going to commit anymore of our retirement money. You do make my point though. My only options for our cars are CSP or STR. Both are non starters for us. IF money were no object...

Re: National Champion Solstice For Sale

Yes our NB would be the one to beat nationally. We are not really interested in running it in E/Street. I have no idea how the new rules are going to shake out but I am not holding my breath to run in STX for either of our C/S National Champion cars. For the life of me I can't understand why the NB ...

Re: National Champion Solstice For Sale

Never weighed it Steve. All I know is Ryan was the C/S National Champion by a big margin in 2011 while being the top PAXed stock car. So whatever it weighs the weight doesn't prevent the car from being very adjustable and very fun to drive. It's a safe bet that Ryan would have won C/S again last yea...

Eric Clements converted the car with a complete ZOK suspension package (control arms, springs and rear chassis bar). The car had a...

Re: Prelim August SEB minutes

I bought the Solstice in 09 to prove that the SEB made a mistake by not moving the NB to E/S in 2008. All I ever heard is how big of an overdog the 99 Sport was. OF course not 1 so called exper...
