Re: not my best work...but. (the official post Adesa threa
I had a DNF rate of 75% and my clutch gave up, but it was a blast! The 3 cars at a time thing got a bit scary at station 1... there were a few times where we were sandwiched between sliding Corvettes on both sides. But it worked out and everything ran really smoothly. 100+ cars, 4 runs, and finished...

Fun course. I enjoy the longer ones. I thought it would be DNF city but after a couple extra walks and a slow first lap it was no problem at all.

Re: Classing
Yep, throw some mods on it and they'll throw you in the shark tank with the Miatas! Whatever you do, don't turbo swap it
Re: battery
I use an Odyssey PC680 in my first gen RX-7. It's about 15#'s and not much bigger than a factory radio. If it'll cold start a carb'd rotary then it should start a Miata just fine.

Re: Update on event dates as of 4/24/13
Is the National Challenge open to anyone, even local turtles? I'm guessing this is a chance to run against the big dogs. What can we expect as far as turnout, format and such? I've never been to a national level event.

Re: hello? ... hello?? is this thing on?
I agree that would help if we could isolate the new comers and get them on a good instruction course walk. Also at the same time things like arms and hands out the window and so on could be detailed. We seem to have many club vets that this could be done in a few small groups with a few of us v/s O...

Re: Great event today!
I saw a lot of DNF's on the bottom far side while I was working. There wasn't a whole lot to point you around that sharp turn that cut through the uphill straightaway. A few cars had to be red flagged when they accidentally started up the hill on their first pass. I think a wall of cones on both the...

Re: Great event today!
Had a good time slippin' and slidin' today. Weather couldn't have been better. Whoever found my "S" magnet and put it in my car, thanks!

Re: TIre question
I ran a directional type of snow tire (General Altimax Arctic) like the one pictured above at the first event. They weren't much help in the wet morning mud. Cornering was decent but getting moving was a challenge. I had to be pushed uphill to grid at one point. They were fantastic later on when it ...

Re: Rallycross
I'm okay with the entry cost. It's more than autocross, but you get more seat time out of it. I too hope the spectator cost can be worked out. It would be nice to be able to bring a crew member, and it's uplifting to have a crowd out there for support. I think the Redneck Resort will find that 5 buc...

Re: First Rally-X in ETR...
I had a blast. It was a lot more fun for RWD once the course dried out a bit. The snow tires weren't much help in the mud, but I figured out after a few runs that high RPM actually meant more traction. So Ted may be right about slinging out the mud. Thanks to everyone who made this happen! And thank...

Re: Rallycross is January 27
I'm in. Just gotta find some tires before then... the RA1's aren't going to do much on dirt This will be a good way to get rid of my stock suspension.
