Unfortunately, your class letters are in compliance with size regulations. Next time go 1/24th scale. I suggest http://www.pasties.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

}:)

The LOM's* of CalClub thank you.

Age is relative.

To Ashley, you are OLD.

Of course, old guys can have style and mad skillz, and are generally better financed.

Working the test and tune course was one of the few times I've seen Mark drive that car "up close" instead from the spectator area. It is blistering. I commented to him how the money spent having Cosworth build the engine was worth every nickel. His reply was that it was also worth spending triple or double what most builders charge to get an engine that was done right and didn't grenade on the dyno before ever being in the car.

If your car weighs the typical 3,450 pounds, you're pushing 12.8 pounds per lb-ft of torque, while Bill is pushing 14.3 pounds per lb-ft. You can win in straight line, but the car's skid pad rating is .98g. A Miata with the milder and much less sophisticated Racing Beat suspension pulls 1g. Bill's car certainly pulls more than 1g. In the corners, you lose.
We're talking bone-stock to bone-stock not Bill's monster CSP car.
I wasn't. Don't think Bill was either.

No we're not. I quote: "KEEP smokin' whatever it is your smokin because when you wakeup and realize all you see is my tailpipes merging onto the fwy from the on-ramp you'll realize that "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE".

Besides...heading into a cloverleaf I'd outbrake you, you'd somewhat catchup then coming out of the cloverleaf, I'd squeeze the throttle and you'd wobble in my turbulence."

Since the only Miata I own is my CSP Miata, you are saying that you'd outbrake, out run, blah, blah, blah my Miata.

What are you smoking? :o
I was quoting "Ekstrand"

Now in your car that's different (not that you'd walkaway from me but it'd be a fun race nonetheless).

The Miata solution for SM2 is Bill's car with the 2.3 duratec as used in the new Formula Atlantics.
300 hp na.
Of course the power band is probably 8000 rpm to 11000 rpm so you'd want a sequential gearbox...
OHH good point. that caterham CSR was CRAZY fast. only problem is you could probably build the whole car for the cost of that engine.
