See ya'll there
Pretty good day, even with 60 people and 8 runs I was done and had tires changed by 2:10! 1st, 2nd and 3rd FTD were all Lotus as well :)
Way better than $40 at Speed Zone... ::Banana::
Thomas, thanks for the setup help! And thanks to Brad and Lee for the sandwich - good to meet you guys...
Here's a few pix from the thing:
Weather was perfect today, that is if I had the right air pressure in my tires from the beginning ::Rant::. Had the oil changed and they let air out and I simply forgot to add air before my first runs. I represented as best as I could for DFWMiata.com.
Had fun guys, take care,
And welcome for the sandwich tricky it was good meeting you.
Hey Brad... if you get a chance, shoot me a pic of the camera mounts you guys were using (particularly Lee's, since I'd need to mount mine the same way). That was slick!
BMW is an efficient club. They did a very nice job. Really like the run-work-rest format.
The course left me uninspired. Not terrible (well maybe the finish was pretty bad) but it was a point and shoot kind of day. Guess it's good to get some practice on those elements every once in a while. Congrats to fellow Lotus drivers for nice showing.
+1 It was a great event. We finished up around 2:30 and had plenty of time for fun runs. The course had it's good and bad, but the point and shoot section really killed my magical-triangle-powered, torqueless wonder!Quote:

Overall it was a very fun event and I got to drive Nathans Camry Solara powered MR-2! ::Banana::

You looked really fast out there and have definitely come a long way in a short amount of time. The MR2 that won X has a pretty nifty JDM high hp motor swap in it that would get it kicked to SM2 for SCCA competition so don't feel bad about a few tenths!Quote:

It is at least Bedell inspired. I don't think Brad put it together. Yes, this is the red ex-turbo car. The head gasket was starting to go and it was about the same price to do the swap as to rebuild.Quote:

The HD quality looks great but it seems like the video is a bit choppy in a few spots, is that camera 30 FPS?Quote:

Cosmos, Thank you for the inside scoop on the MR2!
Yes 30FPS, but no IS.Quote:
