This is a public service announcement: Having Chipotle the night before an autox, not the best idea...
Carry on.
Carry on.

Mark and #2 took some video
I had a ton of fun yesterday! It was especially fun running against similar cars. I was really surprised how fast Mark #2 was on All-Season tires. Patrick and I had some very close times so I'm interested to see the results. I think my Nitto NT01 tires are done. Somehow, I posted my fasted time on the first run. After that run, the tires didn't seem to have anywhere near as much grip. My last 3 runs felt really good, but weren't as fast as the first because of the tires. I may have to get either another set of Nittos or find some used Hoosiers (and buy some 17x8 wheels).
I only managed to snap a couple photos in between runs while waiting on the grid. I also got some videos on my phone, but they're not very steady since I don't have a tripod.

Those numbers look snazzy #2!
Haha they sure do! Thanks again for getting those done so fast and in time for the event!
We need to get BabyMarc to sign up on here and he needs to order some numbers from Will too. I think we were all rocking numbers from you, Will. haha.
It was really fun we were all running together and got to grid/hang out and compare times too. And it was fun to watch drift king (Peaches) while working. T'was a great day indeed.

Well the autocross on Saturday was a semi-success. The Miata didn't break down, in fact everything held up great other than the clutch. On the fifth run, the clutch didn't quite like the full throttle action I had been dishing out and decided that it had enough. The next two runs I decided to try a more 'slow and steady' approach and didn't use more than half throttle. The last run I figured the clutch had some time to cool down and did one last full throttle run and had my fastest time of the day, 2 seconds off Mark and Patrick (I'm running old all season tires, plus I'm a little rusty not having done autocross much lately.) I'm either going to have to replace the clutch if I'm going to autocross the Miata again on the 25th or go back to stock and/or sell the Miata. Decisions, decisions. I'm really considering either selling the Miata with the turbo or stocking out and selling the turbo kit and Miata to fund an even nicer Miata for autocross, perhaps a stock class with some R compounds.

Sounds like big fun, was had yesterday, boys! I will see you all on the 25th. More than likely, than not I will be in the MS3 , unless Mishimoto sends me my new radiators to me by this week. With that being said, I know have 2 new sway bars to try, SURE Motorsports and the JBR/ MOCO Special Edition RSB........also to Larry...if you want the MSP Racing Beat RSB it is yours, let me know. Great weekend @ Road America as a number of the teams had Vinyl supporting Lauri, it was amazing seeing the support, especially forn the non-mazda teams!
On another note, I got my COBB AP form i-Moto and what a world of difference it made to the car! On the way back from Road America, it was like driving a totally different car....also, i received from JBR, the Special Edition MOCO RSB! So many parts and so little time to get them installed!
