I'm up tomorrow for it :D
so what was the winning score today? anyone notice?
Last I saw some guy had me beat by 5 points... 675.
Did you see a black, silver and montego miata? I was there for a little while Saturday selling an ECU. Went last year so there wasn't that much for me to see this year. The MS RX-8 was sweet, the MS Miata was cool too. I didn't drive anything, just looked around and then left.
Oh yeah, lots of eye candy in the parking lot. My favorite was the greyish-silverish FD right out in front of the entrance to the event. That car had me drooling. The CY R-1 inside was sweet as well :)
Yeah, I think I saw your car... Mismatched fenders and parked way out at the end of the lot?
Yeah, tehre were a ton of nice cars out there... That CYM in the "Enthusiast" tent was my good Friend Cavell's. He and I ran together with our events. He was watching his car like a hawk. I think he saw liek 50 people try his door handles. And everyone figured that "oh, it's locked.. Maybe if I pull *harder* it will open?"
Originally my car was supposed to be in the tent too, but it kinda stopped running :(
Looks like Jon Etkins took it with a 685...
Mazda Rev It Up
well d@mn... he only had me by 15 points...
I wasn't excpecting to do well, but if you're gonna be *that* close you'd at least like to win something, eh?
I was leader of teh day when I left.. they made me take pictures with a RevItUp hat, did a littel interview etc etc.. (then of course they told me I had to give that hat BACK! :( )
Oh well.. I can't complain.. I get to use that $250 off on my miata, so it's definately not a loss :)
That's cool you were that close to winning! Sorry about the Hat! :lol: So what did you think of the Mazdaspped Miata? And when will yours be here!!!!Quote:

Well, the MS miata's are in... Problem is I'm being picky. I didn't specifically "order" one, but really got "1st right of refusal" to the ones that come in.. If I wanted one with black leather I could have picked it up Saturday... But I'm letting them sell those and holding out for the titanium/cloth one that shoudl be here later this week or early next.
but that's fine.. I'm waiting for a check from the sale of some stock anyway...
but yeah, cool cars :) Man do they reach redline quick though... It's a good thing I love shifting ;)
Anyone hear yet what class they're going into? I assume BS -> BSP? The motor on the 7 is officaly blown, so it appears as if teh decision on which car to run this year has been made for me ;)
The winner was Jon Etkins from Austin and he will be at MSR III. Really nice guy and a talented driver but not a Pro. He is originally from Australia. He might have done some pro-driving in the past but I believe he is just a track/auto-x junkie now.Quote:

This guy runs some sort of tour with Karts all over the US and Europe.. I don't think they were talking a miata guy..
lol, yup, that was me :lol:Quote:

congrats rx7 gslse,
very close to the lead indeed. What kind of time gets you 670 points? My first run was 29.1. My second run I ate lots of cones. :?
I noticed that I tied (in points) with my instructor from last month's PCA autoX school 102 , Chuck Macalla. Put a :) on my face.
well talking to people out there Sunday was a much quicker track than Saturday... there were lots of guys in the 29s.
Actually the 670 was only a 29.138 on a pro index of ~28.0?
Both times I saw the pro run on saturday it was right aroudn a 28 flat index. I think 27.9 at one point.. Both compeditors & the pro were running a lot quicker Sunday it seems?
And you guys complain about the 35 to 45 second courses at ER event at Pennington Field... :P :lol:
But I don't get a chance to drive at Leguna Seca from any Pennington race...Quote:

and that was just the two competition runs.... There were also a bunch of skills sections (up to 8 runs total) and a test drive area with the whole Mazda product lineup.Quote:

You did pretty good. I was out there, I've got a silver '90. I ran on Sunday but hit a cone on what was to be my better run. Ultimate score was 528 :oops: About 150 out of 1129 participants.
