Cal Club Autocross Forums

Please advise; I'm a novice; will be racing car for the first time this weekend - requesting help classifying car for Autocross - 91' Miata, 1.6L (no engine mods), street legal aftermarket exhaust (stock manifolds), coil over suspension, sway bars, street legal performance wheels & tires, full ...

As Chief of Gate I get to poach a couple of workers for early morning Gate duty Saturday and Sunday. This counts as your work assignment for the day. Get it over with first thing and then have the rest of the day to kick back, relax and have fun. We need 2 Gate workers on Saturday morning to work fr...

Yes, you are also legal for CSM.

The Exige S is classified in SSP.
A tune is ok in this class, but you need to run the stock pulley.

Changing the pulley bumps you up to SSM.

If you had >140 treadware tires you could run it in CST locally. Our run-what-you-brung class for street tires.

Eddie,
What tires are you running?

I can do gate.

Sorry, can't handle the bruised ribs anymore.

Yes please!
Next practice?

Sean that would be great.
Thanks!

I'm an optimist!

As evidenced by this thread...

Hey folks, Finally killed the 'stones on the ST. Rather than buy another set to run until Bill's DP Miata is ready, I was hoping to find a co-drive opportunity for the next few months. I'm a decent instructor with 30 years of experience in just about every kind of car, so I might be of some use to s...

I should be able to help Friday...

Can we turn Chris' post into a FAQ?

Good chance the 91 will be closed that weekend.
Ugh.

Challenging is fine.
Cone-intensive, not so much...

Car seems to be legal for SCCAs Street Mod class - so long as it is over 2160 lbs.
that's based on 1800cc turbo, solid rear axle and <275 size tires.
So that's another place to play if you want to run sticky Hoosier DOT race tires.

Now there's no TO on the "official" results, so I have disappeared.

Rick,
I instructed the first group, before running the 2nd.
Probably need to move me to TO...

I'm signed up to run GS in the second group.

If you don't get a better offer, I can be your back-up plan.

Mark,
My mom has a room she occasionally rents out in North Irvine if you can't find anything closer to Brea.

Hopefully my other commitments (work, family, church) will allow me to run events a little more often in the future!

Teaching Evo schools a few times a year has at least kept the rust to a minimum...

Weird.
I don't use the velcro. You are welcome to the bits that are attached to my transponder. I've never peeled off the backing tape and stuck it to anything...

I'll be at the event Sunday.

Is it different than the velcro you can buy at any hardware store or craft store?

Nope.

Street Mod. probably...

CST for sure.

Let me know if you need a co-driver!

How about a rental car pax handicap? Only if there's price limit on the daily rental cost. No fair getting a rental pax handicap and then renting a Ferrari F430... Actually, we could just set it up as a claiming race. You show up in a F430 and I'll show up in a Mazda 3 from hertz and I can just cla...
