Re: Dixie Tour Thread

I may have my new car ready in time for this. Just got wheels and will have tires soon enough. If I get everything ready, would anyone be willing to transport my wheels and tires for me so I don't put a thousand miles on them? I would be willing to haul them for you John. I'm planning on leaving Th...

Re: **January Fastrack News**

Motec on a miata was a single example. Just pointing out that there's absurd options and the people that can go that route, will go that route. This rule-set WILL drive up the cost of ST* classes, 100%. With 245/40/15 Rival-S and RS4 coming out soon I think the NB would be the car to beat in STX, p...

Re: **January Fastrack News**

I don't know how I feel about that open ECU rule for ST*. Sounds like an opportunity for Whitener-like competitor to put a $5000 Motec in a $2500(before parts) Miata. Well right now I'm effectively running a standalone as a piggyback. The stock ECU is spliced in and does enough things to make it al...

Re: **January Fastrack News**

They didn't like any of the letters asking for the NB miata to go to STX from STR. Again.

Do you have any information on how that tire will perform?

Re: My Amod is going away now with pic of new car

If you are sticking with street tires then can you not move up to a 25" tall tire on a 17" wheel? A 255 wide Rival S or RE71R will definitely be better than the 225 offerings. The cg rise is small compared to what you will gain in tire contact area. That's a pretty substantial weight incr...

Re: 2017 pax numbers

This made it an easier choice to switch over to AS from STR.

Re: Regional #10 Smokies Stuff

I would like to have courses at Smokies that avoid certain turns that get close pointing to a curb. Some cross overs may be inevitable, but things like the first right hand corner after the slalom I really really do not like. As it happens at this event my car started out with very bad handling for...
