I wanna burn off the rest of the race fuel I have. Hopefully the event doesnt sell out before I can confirm Ill be able to get the clutch put in my car by then.

I'll say, those guys are crazy fast. A 1:12.0!?!?! I'm at the other end of the spectrum, at the very bottom of SPB on street tires. I'm basically racing another similarly prepped Evo 8 and we were .08 of a second apart at the last time trial. So I'll have some good battles with him. These 2 days will finish off my Star Specs (not quite Hoosiers...) and then it looks like NT01s for next season.

24 12 oz bottles? You're on, though I'll let you double check the entry list first to see if you want to back out. You do know about my new car, right?

I assume you are aware of the other Miata's that run in classes other than ST4 & ST3?

Yes I am, and I looked at the season's TT results before my previous post in this thread.

Is there a turbo miata in P/B that we don't know about?

Unless there's one other than the black P/B turbo miata that hasn't done a TT at NHMS this year that is likely currently within 200 ft of my race car, no.

My money is on the dude in plaid with the beard.

I am working out a co-drive with pops at the moment so I maybe in attendance.

I know about your new car. You don't know about my new car.

Gordon and Will always set some good times. Your 350 should be just as fast but I figure there will be some teething issues if its your first event with the car. Better bring some tire. Chris P. can't catch them in his 370z on 335 V710s.

I love it!

I'll only be on 285's but I'm hoping that the significantly reduced weight will make up the difference. The big issue is how quickly I adapt to the car before the TT.

Any idea what your car weighs? If you get sub 2800 you'll be doing well.

Don't get too excited. You didn't think I actually bought a Miata, did you?

You're hustling if you can beat all the Miatas at a COM event. Hell, I bet Dave beats half the field in his ST4 Miata.

Once everything is done, it'll likely be somewhere around 2725 without me at the prep level it'll be at for the October event.

This should make things a little more fun and interesting.

Lookin' good!

What class?

[eastcoastbumps]

Undecided. T80 I think.

Its legal for ST1 and an exhaust and wheel swap away from SSGT, but Paddy and I may just co-drive the black car in SPC. The black one should be a little faster and easier to drive and we really enjoy the battle in SPC. We'd have to swap between the fast tires for the time trials anyways. There are a lot of entries for ST1 so I could be persuaded to run that class.

You guys should run the black one in SPC because S2000 battle.

Then you should sell me that red one and find me a small aluminum open trailer.

Then make a bacon sammich.

(sorry.....so used to moderating General threads "what should I do?")
