East Tennessee Region SCCA

Where's everyone staying?

ABS does work! I probably relied on it a little too much... The car is easy to drive on edge and super forgiving when you do ask for too much. Hopefully another person new to the sport will pick it up, or maybe someone is looking for that starter car for their kid to learn in? This would be my first...

http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae315/JDPeterson88/DSC00383_zps3b8acdcc.jpg I bought this in 2009 as my first autocross car. A couple Tennessee Region guys/gals (Schusters, Andrew Cowden) owned this car before I did, so it's well known as “Junior” in that region. I set it up to run in regional s...

Sweep car! Timing and scoring if that doesn't work out though.

^ Good stuff Bob.

About the results, they may need some editing. The DNF's (missed gate) should be changed to +10 second penalty....

If anyone's interested, I found this lurking around RRAX today:

The code posted on slickdeals didn't work though. I used "SEARS2012" to get the total down to $50 w/ screwdriver and tax.

Off to pick mine up now...

I think Cathers has said many times he is looking for a co-drive next year. He is pretty handy with a Miata. I bet he could give lots of good tips!

I'm famous!!

For using a now illegal tire in a provisional class...

Have you considered extruded aluminum? Good rigidity and adjustability - looks much cleaner than plywood/MDF too.

I've got right around $100 in my setup and it works well enough.

Hey Chris,

I have a cloth NA Miata seat in good condition. Let me know if you want it, we can work something out.

Yeah I was on the cheater 195s run down to 3 or 4/32 from full tread. The CS Miata driver who finished ahead of me was on a shaved set bought specifically for that event. Like Marcus said I'd guess a Miata R on the Dunlops would be a ringer for the class if courses stay somewhat open. I think the ~2...

Curt was that you on I40 about 11:30 last night? Passed a red mini that flashed its lights.. didn't realize it may have been you. Thanks JY and Lin for allowing me to hog some paddock space, eat your food, and launch your golf cart with Rife at the weel. :mrgreen: Please let me know how much I owe f...

My 1996 Miata apparently started life as an automatic. It was swapped over before I bought it, so I can't speak on difficulty.. I do know the previous owner never figured out how to fool the ECU into thinking it's a manual car. I think he tried a couple of different ECUs with no luck. Now it has a p...
