Mick you can cocord the boost buggy tires if you wanted :) Not sure how that'd work for your CS points though.

PSSST They have a funnel cake for breakfast stand set up in downtown Grand Saline in case you get lost by accident.Just you and the dog still??
I learned long ago when the wife is happy everyone is happy. Plus she tolerates and helps fund my stupid little car stuff.And she is actually quite the quilter!
Plus lets not forget the POSIII has no tires.........

I really appreciate the offer I'd love to give the boost buggy a try! But as you can see by when I'm posting this I'm going to be a no show.....
Now you tell me!
Hope you kids have a great day
We did! The new tires made a huge difference and the car now behaves more like we expected. The oversteer problem is gone. Miatamoto took first in STS and I took third. We were both in the top ten in PAX.
The course was short (no loop), but it was fun. Definitely a Miata course. Nice job, Dennis.
The car really came into its own this event on the new tires. We were very happy with the car and we're looking forward to Houston next week.

Hey, JRJ512. You were talking about weight reduction today, what about the seats? Isn't that legal in STS?

Yes, but not as much as it used to be since they now have a min weight for them. They are something to consider for next season, but I would put new light-weight wheels over seats. Plus, I have to consider drive-ability on the street.
I am going to modify the hitch this week in order to make it easier to remove at big events and I will probably grab a battery, too.
There is also weight to be saved in the exhaust, but that is down the road, too.
Damn, Rapid PAX was very close.
It's my best PAX finish. The only time I've ever been tenth in PAX was when I was the tenth person starting!
Good job and the car looked very good out there. Thomas beat Neal in STS and PAX.
Good luck in Houston.

Thanks!
Everybody should note that we were on our new cheater tires and Neal was on older RE01Rs. I'm really looking forward to some good competition this year!
