Re: Points Card Squatting

At one point in our past, it was talked about assigning the first 25 numbers according to life time points ranking. That was to encourage competitors to keep coming back, as their points total would continue to grow every year. But in the end, nobody who had low numbers, wanted to give them up to im...

Re: I had fun, but.....

At the 1:05 mark you are going thru a right turn element.
If you had continued further right and you would have seen the left turn element.
That led straight into the 7 cone slalom that you did turn left into at 1:08.
I hope that helps.

Re: WTB/Advice: NB Miata Soft Top

I have used Mikes Auto Tops & Upholstery in Mission Viejo for the last 2 tops I put on my 95'.
The last one was cloth with a glass window and defroster and it folds up great, better even than the original top.
He replaced it in 1 day. I think it was about $1200.

Re: 2015 SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS changes??

Were there any rules questions specific to Historic classes that need attention?
While you are updating the SRs, Historic is now 2 classes, HST1 for 1968 and earlier cars and HST2 for 1969 and later cars.
Thanks.

I'm resurrecting an old thread.
There was a brief article (attached) in the Saturday OC Register that mentioned the closing of the Antique Market.
In the article it mentions that FivePoint will start demolition of the runways in late June.
