Is that the front lower arm? Upper arm? And was it the fore or aft attachment point? Can't tell from the pic.

A really odd failure!

Darn 335's with 1/4" spacers ... reaching out to grab cone bases ... Nick getting in the last few runs of the season, with our CST Z06 ... showing that it has potential:

Great shots, Mako! No offense to any of the other photographers, but I really missed seeing your shots after every event. Glad you guys are back (and not just for the pics)! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks ... it's good to be back, and it's been great getting all of the Welcome Backs!

I want to make AX our priority next year, ie. when there are date conflicts, but Karen wants to put Miata Challenge events, driving my track car, ahead of AX. The Miata Challenge dates aren't out yet, so we can't tell if there is going to be much of a problem

Whatever balance you come up with, it will still be good to see you!

I've been working with Steve over the past couple events. He's got talent! Everything I teach him he picks up fast. Including mixing up drivers! ;) (See my post on the 'Hardship, resolve, tenacity' thread)

Nice, Mark! I'm not the only one mixing up names! Thanks for the driving kudos! Between you and Leonard and Stanley's advice I'm gonna catch Davin and He in January! And then I'm going after Max! In my SK2 OEM car! Watch out, guys! As soon as wise up and let off the gas a little and I keep my head up and I figure out how not to drift around every corner, you're all in trouble!

I've gotta go. I have to steal some construction cones from the 405 and set up my practice course in the Best Buy parking lot! :ibrightdea:
