Knoxville Dragstrip Friday the 17th.
Re: 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.
Re: Knoxville Dragstrip Friday the 17th.
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 wrote:I'm willing to bet there isnt anything that is autocrossed in ETR that could outrun it

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

Re: Knoxville Dragstrip Friday the 17th.
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...

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.

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

I'm having flashback to Pinks. Just don't start negotiating car lengths.
Re: Knoxville Dragstrip Friday the 17th.
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.
Re: Knoxville Dragstrip Friday the 17th.
I ran 6.8 in the 1/8 and 12.3 in the 1/4 with current setup.....

Re: Knoxville Dragstrip Friday the 17th.
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.
