Uh, maybe rethink your course design to include about 700 fewer cones?

How 'bout a barrel-racing kind of AX course...just TWO cones.

Correction. Friday is not an option due to the lot not being available until 5 PM. I will need 5 Workers for the crack of Dawn on Saturday. This will be your work assignment for the weekend. PLEASE contact me soon so I can start coordinating who is going to be doing what. We will have to be really ...

Bob Pl wrote:Good enough, I'm ordering, thanks guys.

So, let me get this straight. If I sell my Miata AND add $1500 or so, I can purchase these shocks. Guess I won't be running with the Big Dogs anytime soon...or ever.

Winning PAX run (2nd run) - 67.316. The run was crap: many missed apexes, timing off all over the place and so far off line I nearly took out the outside wall of cones on the high speed downhill part. 3rd & 4th runs were much better, but made major braking errors in each of those runs (+1 sec.)...

Ed & Sharon...2nd and 3rd.

What Pete has posted from Flyin Miata, in concert with what Bobby is recommending, is how I have always approached engine building and break-in of "old school" normally aspirated engines, whether it be a Cortina FF motor, or a Ford or Chevy V-8. If I were rebuilding my 1.8 Miata motor, it ...

I'm not sure about the whole car seat thing, but my RX-8 is for sale if you decide you want one. I've had fairly average-sized adults in the back seat of mine on various occasions. All of the things you mentioned for maintenance sound about right. You're right to be nervous about the engines, but t...

Chad: We're all here to help. And we're highly paid for the priviledge. Please keep answers to your own questions to yourself.

Thanks!

The first Carfax was free. We have to charge for future requests. }:)

Reminder - if your going to take advantage of completing the Minor Waiver form in advance of arriving at the venue, the copies MUST BE PRINTED IN COLOR to be acceptable. Thank you - look forward to seeing you at Auto Club Speedway. Where does it say that it has to be printed in color? Black and whi...

Sharon has been trying to communicate via your email provided in your profile. Is it not a good one?

So I'm getting ready to start a new project car with some of the guys at work. The car is a 2005 VW beetle 1.8t that will be turned into a really bad idea but awesome Lemons/Chump endurance car, does anyone here know of common problems on these cars? Specifically I'm looking for engine and suspensi...

This might help...It's from the St. Louis Region but provides a great overview for those considering "stepping up". Others from OUR region more experienced might want to add to or further clarify: Event Chair Checklist Thanks for considering being an event chair for one of our Solo events....

And a Happy New Year to you as well Craig! And to all of our Autocross "family", we wish you a healthy and prosperous year filled with minimal cones. :gpower:

Well dudes and dudettes, it looks like our management team is in place for the first event of 2014 on January 18th and 19th, EXCEPT that we do not have a COURSE DESIGNER as yet. This is a GREAT OPPORTUNITY for you to step up and excercise your creativity. Don't be afraid, you will have lots of exper...

Thanks again!

Fixed that for ya

Anyone with a double entendre "Tight Sqz" license plate ought not be "fixing" things.

Then it would be called a race. Years ago, we had an event @ Dodger stadium. There were two courses, a right and a left. Two runs on each with a combined time, lowest wins. It started with a fairly long (1/8 ? mi.) straight away, so it was a drag race to start. It was ALOT of fun. My VW pissed off ...

Arthur: Have you renewed your SCCA membership?

If you still need a Waivers Chief, I can do it. Let me know.

Son Max's interpretation of a X-mas "tree"

Can't help noticing that the mirror is starting to fill up with well-wishing cards. We're thinking of you. Merry Christmas!!

I always THOUGHT those hi-dollar Corvette drivers were Eunuchs. Now I know why...and how they could afford those cars. }:)

I just want to echo what George and others are saying...Mako we SO appreciate your photos and commentary. Karen...just know that we are thinking about you A LOT and praying for you often. We may not BE there, but we ARE there.

If you don't get it here, try SD. I'm sure someone has it there. Warren Leach comes to mind. BTW, I think Brett's last name is spelled different than how you have it.

Thanks Fred. I stand corrected.
