Chuck, a HANS device is not required for track days. They are only required for the wheel-to-wheel racing groups.

Any autocross events on Aug 2 & 3?

I want to take a break from track days and I finally got my daily driver (99 Miata) just right for CS.

Are there any SoCal area autocrosses going on during the Aug 2 & 3 weekend?

Looks like the one on the far right (facing away) has a tramp stamp.

Re: Cobra Suzuka S FIA Kevlar Race Seat - $450/OBO

Would it be alright though if I used the side mounts and then bolted the mount into the floor bypassing the slider? I'm afraid to going with an aluminum seat because the car is still my daily driver, and they seem pretty extreme. Lastly, what's the verdict on using the factory 3 point seat belt whi...

Re: Cobra Suzuka S FIA Kevlar Race Seat - $450/OBO

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the concern with bolting a fiberglass or kevlar seat to the floor of the miata? Fiberglass and kevlar (and other composite) seats rely on the fibers for their strength and stiffness properties. When you cut holes in these types of seats you are severing fibers and t...

Re: Cobra Suzuka S FIA Kevlar Race Seat - $450/OBO

Mike, A couple of years ago, Iron Canyon Motorsports (here in SoCal) sold a seat mount base for Spec Miata racers. I don't know if they still sell them but I'm told they worked well. The stock seat rail idea will probably work well so long as the car's not destined for road racing. For road racing a...

Re: Cobra Suzuka S FIA Kevlar Race Seat - $450/OBO

Actually, the Suzuka S - as shown here - is the standard version. The Suzuka GT is the slightly wider version. I have a Spec Miata race car and this seat barely fits in the driver's area. There was some contact between the left shoulder "wing" and the inside of the driver's door but I was ...

Re: CRG 125cc Shifter

For those who don't know, CRG makes one of the best kart chassis. It's one of the Italian "Big 3". They are supported well around here.

Having sold a kart last year, I can tell you that this sounds like a good deal. Good luck with the sale!

Re: 2004 Carson car trailer w/extras - $1500 OBO

I believe it is a Tire Tail. It can be detached from the trailer and is secured with a lock. I've already been offered $100 for it but for now I'm including it with the trailer since it's a nice feature. You really should consider selling it separately. It would only be of use to someone with very ...

I bought a Spec Miata package deal which included a 91 Spec Miata race car, trailer, and the 92 Miata. If you shop a...

Well if its cheap enough, I might buy it. I have a Suzuki Samurai I dont wanna drive far on the freeways & a Bronco I take out & beat up alot that might not get me home. So I like the idea of having a trailer. Besides if I start AutoCrossing, I might want it for the Stang too. Biggest probl...

Looks like a perfect project for someone with a place for it. how far out is the registration? The trailer is something I actually do need though. How much weight is that trailer rated to carry? The car is not currently registered. I believe the trailer is rated for a gross weight of over 7000 lbs ...

I'm selling a 2004 Carson car trailer. It's 16 ft in length, wood deck, beaver tail, spare tire, steel ramps, and electric brakes on one of the two axles. It also has very heavy duty steel tie-down points. I'm also throwing in four heavy-duty ratcheting tie-down straps so you should have everything ...

Where to buy an open-faced SA2005 helmet?

I'm looking for an affordable open-faced SA2005 helmet, probably along the lines of what G-Force, Impact, and Pyrotect have to offer. Is there a store in the LA/OC area that sells these helmets? As far as I know, Werks II and Sube Sports have the more expensive helmets (e.g., Stand 21, Arai, Peltor,...
