The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Auto-x seems to be more cost effective. Only trouble is you only get 1 "lap" at a time. A little anti-climactic to say the least. On the other hand the chances of wadding your car up into a tire wall are zero. My problem is I would have to drive at least an hour to do any auto-x, and if I zoom-zoom-boom that means one hell of a tow bill.
 
I hear ya, Larry. But that's why I got AAA towing. And ya figure you're only pushing the motor/car for 70seconds (or 80+ seconds in my case, haha). But no pressure. At least come out and watch and ride along with someone, you'll want to do it in your own car for sure.
 
I know I will get hooked. Doing HPDE's is pretty much a no-go for me now that Andrew is here. Coming up with that kind of money even once a year would be tough. SCCA membership is cheap and the per event cost is also cheap. Do you see where I am going with this? I am all about cheap!

I really like the one lap at a time format. In my mind the limited number of chances at the course really separate the good drivers.

anyone that hasnt checked this out yet, I'm currently working on lining up a Karting Enduro (2 hour race, 4-5 drivers per team... team with most laps completed at the end of 2 hours wins)

would LOVE to get 15-20 of us there, and end up with 4-5 teams

Please check this out guys. I think it would be an awesome event for all of us to do. I know that I've been wanting to go karting forever!
 
Late to the show man! Alfa is only using the chassis. They're supposed to use their own engine for the Alfa, and Mazda will use whatever engine they have slated for it. Frankly, I'm digging the way the Alfa looks and would probably chase after one of those before the new MX5.

You are only allowed to run a production car one year after it ceases production in GT class. RX-8 is dead, so this is the last year they are allowed to run .
Always late to the party. The alfa rendering is pretty sexy. I think I read the miata will have a Turbo 1.3 skyactiv. I know the RX-8 is dead but there are rumors of a 6 coupe in the future

thatd be nice. they need to do a speed 3 COUPE and speed 6 and since the rx-9 has already been made in the old days do a rx-x
 
YAY! Every time I see someone wearing an OSU shirt I say OH and most of the time they just look at me funny :) which is normal for anyone

Lol I'm a recent OSU alum so it's kind of engraved into my brain.

I've been meaning to ask you but what the hell happened to that F1 car in your signature's GIF? I've watched it a few hundred times by now.

Looks like the tires came off the front of the car ivan.

You'll have to google that one. I found it on reddit under the title "you know you're f***ed when..." It happened in China.
 
I was watching that race live. Quite interesting. It was Scuderia Torro Rosso.
 
Mazda hasn't announced when the diesel engine will be available in the US or in what car...yet.QUOTE]

one of the attendees at the NJ Mazda Corral mentioned to me that he's waiting for the Skyactiv Diesel in the CX-5 to come out ... not sure where he got his info from ...
