Same goes for me. I would be happy to help anyone that needs it.

To make things easy, we could actually set up a course that we have already run.

I think if only a few show.. we can do two timed sessions and compare plus all get clean course runs.

I have never heard of c44. I used to run c16 in my supra and a buddies miata. I would think c44 would be a lot better then the c16. C16 will make 524hp at the wheels in a turbo 2 liter miata. Chad

Quick question about auto cross rules. I bought a '99 Miata last week and would REALY like to run down some cones in it. It is a soft top and does not have a roll bar. Is that legal to autocross with (the crown of my helmet might be a hair above the windshield also. I am a pretty tall guy)? I know about the "broomstick" rule for convertibles during track events, but I am not sure for the auto cross events. Also, what class would I run. Thanks in advance for the help and I hope to see you guys this weekend.

You're good as long as the helmet is SNELL 2000 or newer. Roll bars not needed in autocross.

Class depends upon modifications to the car.
