Renegade Miata AutoX

Butterflies in my stomach all day, yesterday.
Had to learn to read the cones better. Next time I'll do some spanking(spank)lol
Thanks for the push Marcos.

This is a great bunch of people and I am very happy to found you all and taking me in.

Thanks

Cheo, come out next time, they'll have the same instructors, but for the main course, so you can get yourself timed and learn more. Don't worry about being frustrated, sometimes it happens as part of learning! It's always hard to go out on a course w/o an instructor when you're starting out.
 
Glad everyone had fun. I had a blast! I will definitely being returning for a few more of those!

I was very impressed with how the car handled too. I mean, its no miata, but I thought the MS3 did great. Its the first time I have really put it through it's paces like that.

It was good to see everyone as well.

Hi Pete,

Was watching your 3 go around, seemed like you were doing fine. Was a great day.
 
can't wait for the next event...gonna have an instructor go with me...i did so much better on the big course because i had time to see the cones ahead of me....i did miss somthing towards the end though, because i went off the course...so a dry run or two, lower speed and i think i can make a go of it! :)

I kept doing that too. My last 3 runs I went off course at the very end. There was that high speed part with the 3 six packs, then a wall of cones with a clam shell at the very end. The first run on the big course I got it. The next three all I saw was wall of cones and went around. Which might explain why the people working that corner appeared to be running for their lives :D
My best run was 1:23 but that was off course. Dont know if that is good or not, but didnt seem bad to me.

One more thing, wanted to thank you guys for the tips and help. 
 
Next event I'm taking Jose and Mark on a ride with me. :D Might learn you two somethin... hee hee.
 
Waiting for Chris to make the edits and all and then I'll post them up. I don't have a movie editor to crop out the video to have it just of the run only. :(
 
when is the next event? If we don't have an event or a race, we'll come out and particpate with you guys. I know the wife will be all for it as well.
 
Alright here are some pics and two videos of my best runs, unedited. The rest of the pictures and goodies are on my blog. :)

Ran a 1'10.4 for best time of the day. Shane did a low 1'16 for his best too.

Thanks Bruce :D And thats an awesome time man! I better start watching out for you now ;) The unseen attacker!

BTW I saw the absolute best sticker on a green S2000 on Sunday. If anyone knows where to get it (I'll google it in a second and probably find it after this I bet...) lemme know. It said "When the Helmet is on, you have no friends."

Thanks. Hunting down Oleg, his best was 1:13.1 something. I drove his and it is soooo loose.
 
Still? I thought he fixed that or something. I guess we'll have to see what other fixes he comes up with. :(
 
Awesome videos! The course looks real intense. I don't think I would have anywhere near the confidence you do to go that fast.
