Splan, do they usually have the run group order correct on the event details page. Last time, Nabil was in STU, and it was a morning group. When I registered it said STU was white run group, which puts it in the afternoon. I just want to make sure it is right.

you guys running morning or afternoon?

L8APEX

I am in STU, so that makes me afternoon.

What class will you be in, or are you still eligble for novice again?

Splan8

They are usually pretty easy to figure out, but the calendar of events should have the correct run groups in it.

Spyder_doo

I guess I'm still running afternoon in SM right?

When you registered, what run group did they tell you that you are in. When I finished registration, it told me that I was in the white run group. Double check, just to make sure, they seem to switch it up sometimes, last time I went, STU was morning, now it is afternoon.

Got all my numbers and class letters today, now I can't wait to get the car out there. Sways should be in by this weekend too. Should be fun.

which bars did you get?

Based on recommendations from those that already have them.

Splan8

So are you on stock springs # shocks and RB sways? That may be a pretty good combination. I really felt my RB sways made more of a difference than the RB springs did on my 8.

whenson417

woo hoo!! I am now signed up! lets see if I can actually make it to this one!!!

L8APEX

I hope so, right now my focus is suspension. End of the year will be a bigger change, springs and adjustable shocks. Not sure which yet. I am really hoping that Charlie gets them in by the end of the week. No word yet, fingers are crossed. :D

I'm already signed up :D

I hope to see several of you out there again!

Splan8

OK. The Miata is back in service. Oil leak solved, timing set. Couple minor things to worry about but nothing that will keep us from racing. Now I have a 60k mile miata instead of a 135k mile one.

See you guys out there...

whenson417

Did you replace the engine or get a new Miata?

Splan8

Replaced the engine and a few other items that were getting old (heater hoses, some gaskets, etc...). Took 5 days of after work time and all day Saturday... but it runs great. Even better than before. I was a bit concerned when I talked with Scott at Mazcare and found out he knew the guy I bought the engine from and he was worried that I got a fair deal, but everything seems fine.

I really enjoyed it. My only remaining issues are an idle problem and a bad motor mount. Maybe I can address these at Mazcare before this weekend.

Splan8

By the way, are you in Novice or not?

whenson417

I am still in novice. I signed up for the afternoon run even though there is an 8 in the morning novice section. I just hope nothing happens to where I will have to cancel, like an increase in gas prices!!

Splan8

Almost here...

L8APEX

took me 5 minutes to find the thread that disappeared.

I just wanted to let everyone that is registered for the event this Sunday, that the run groups colors changed, and there will only be 4 groups this time.

for those that are not on that forum too.

Splan8

Yeah, you guys should check your run groups... I am in Blue now. I think you guys in STU are RED.

L8APEX

^^yeah, I am in red now, but it is still the second afternoon run group. This change is going to result in a lot more track work time, and more downtime between runs. We will see if it is efective.

Splan8

WOOOO!!! Finally!

1st place in CSP today!

It wasa great course... I saw Don, Travis and Wes out there and I know Jamie's car was there but I didn't see him. Don showed me some great shots he had, one with a cone flying in the air behind a car that looked awesome.

I snagged a ride with Wes, who did great on his first run but had to jet home before I could see anyone else race...

Spyder_doo

yeah we couldn't make it there in time to run SM so we all ran Time Only. Maybe I'll have time to ride with yall and everyone is more then welcome to give me pointers on driving the track. Looks like we are all headed to Alabama this Sunday for the next autocross event. Anyone else going? Thanks to SilverEIGHT for taking all the pics too.

What class will I need to registar in since I have the rev-i? I want to registar and get numbers and all that stuff just incase I can make it this coming weekend.

Splan8

I think STU will be the class for you... isn't that right T.R.?

As for this weekend, who is planning to go? I am on the fence right now... I want to go but will have to juggle some obligations around to do it.
