Guys, this thing was a ton of fun! Got home last night late. Our 240sx did pretty dam good for it's first year placing 7th best in the drag race, and I believe 9th best in the concourse... but second to last in the autox 
stock tires/suspension FTL!
I'll have pics and videos up of the miata soon.

It was nice to meet you btw!
That's all folks!
It's finally over. A very active and tiring weekend. Between being up early, going to bed late, running around like a crazy person, and drinking more than my fair share of adult beveradges, I'm whooped. But that doesn't detract from my placement of 6th overall!!! I'm very happy considering my rank of 18th last year. I'll be going for the beans next year.
The car survived the weekend with only a couple of scratches. I had one I/C pipe blow off during the auto-x, the clutch is shot (again), and 4th gear is difficult to enter. I did pretty badly in the drag as well due to the clutch/tranny issues as well has inexperience and lack of wheel grip. Oh well. I've already got a game plan for next year. Hello standalone engine management - MegaSquirt (glare) .
All in all, I'm very happy with the results. They can be found HERE . Of 62 total entrants, my scores are as follows:
Auto-x: 8th (45.113s of 43.925)
Concourse: 7th
Drag: 29th (OUCH!)
Overall: 6/62!!
That's it for the $2006 Grassroots Motorsports Challenge! Here are a few pics, of course. The BMW belongs to a good friend. I installed the MegaSquirt only to get ownt in the drag by him, hehe.
