I will also most likely bring the MS3 to the autox on the 25th unless I figure something out with the Miata clutch or stock it out. Anyone know what class a bone stock MS3 would be most competitive in, down to the crappy tires? Hmm, maybe I can find a set of slicks.

Yes Marlon I'd like to have it. We will talk soon. Jen told me about the decals for Lauri, it's nice of the teams to show their support. So awsome.

Did you sign up for the 25th? Lauri is not going to co-drive, it you don't want to drive the P5, you can co-drive the MS3 or Spicy if the radiator is back. Let me know.

I think we should pick a class that we can all run in. What the hell, we're just having fun right.

Oh snap! there is an offer I shouldn't refuse! I haven't signed up for it yet because I will have to find a babysitter for Andrew since Jen will have to work. I will get on it ASAP and let you know. Keep the seat open for me for a few days.

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!

I saw some of the pictures of the vinyl on Facebook that was pretty awesome to see!

Anthony, a stock MS3 is in DS.

I got some pictures and videos from Saturday and Sunday. Had a blast and can't wait till the results are posted.

And what happens when a Vette thinks it's done for the day

I have a few videos the sound is crappy in the all though. Ones in the car are from Saturday and the ones outside are from Sunday, I only have the first three runs from Sunday and the last one is my fastest time Marc still has the videos on his phone.
Saturday:

Sunday:

Good time for a head to head comparison.

 

[Perro del Sol]

Good time for a head to head comparison.

That is the goal.......to test all 3 against one another....on all 3 settings

 

[hat1018]

I don't think anyone has ever done it so it will be interesting to see/hear the results. An unbiased opinion from someone that knows how to drive.

 

[Perro del Sol]

Here are the specs for each one

Tri-Point 32mm-settings 750/825/1000 per Sq. Inch

SURE RDS-05-31.55mm-settings 922/1140/1439 per Sq. Inch

JBR 32mm-settings 593/718/901

 

[Evan9999]

also, i received from JBR, the Special Edition MOCO RSB!

That's awesome, I want to see some pictures!

 

[WillD]

I think you need someone to help test and give second opinions.
