Knoxville Dragstrip Friday the 17th.

I'm also a bit concerned with my alignment as I run like -2.5 degrees in the rear and -3.0 in the front. I think if I air them down dramatically it may help but that's not really gonna help me get better with autocross launches. Chase a low ET or look for the best 60' I can get in autocross trim are my options it seems.

When I'd run my CRX at pro solos, we ran less camber up front (like -2.5) and would cut the best 60's in the class....

...but we are talking maybe a tenth compared to the guys running -3.5

If it wasn't the middle of the AutoX season....I'd be down for this hard core.

I have ran the miata a ton of times at the drag strip and I'm willing to bet there isnt anything that is autocrossed in ETR that could outrun it

At a pro solo on totally virgin concrete it has gone 1.803 to 60'(Wilmingtion Pro this year) and has trapped well over 90mph in the 1/8th in the past.(when it made A LOT less power and carried A LOT more weight)

You all have fun.....but let's do this again after the first week in September.

But are you willing to turn off the traction control?

[eunos735]

Are you willing to pull 2 spark plug wires?

[MikeKelly]

Heh, I'll rev limit to 6K...

[eunos735]

I can't believe you are asking for stips with a little 4 banger

[MikeKelly]

Most any and every form of traction control is specifically banned from NHRA + IHRA competition (except your active input on the gas pedal).


Just following the rules...

[eunos735]

It's by class.

Most all high powered grudge racers, no prep racers, outlaw 10.5, drag radials etc etc etc are using active TC.

[thrdeye]

No way the Miata pulls JY's Mustang. I'll take the bet!

[eunos735]

You tell me how much you want to lose and we'll hook it up.

[01badz28]

I'm having flashback to Pinks. Just don't start negotiating car lengths.

[90civichb]

Man, I would love to see some of the high horsepower stuff make it out. 1.8 60' is impressive in a Miata. I think the Miata and the Mustang would be a good race in the 1/8th.

[jcox07]

I ran 6.8 in the 1/8 and 12.3 in the 1/4 with current setup.....

[eunos735]

You sure you don't mean 7.8?
A 6.8 1/8th mile translates to a mid 10 second 1/4 and the way your car is geared, I dont see it slowing down 2 seconds on the big end

My Miata went 7.40s over 100hp and 300lbs ago.
