The MiataTV Shooting is next week

[Screamin'Screw]

We are shooting my episode of Motorsport Ranch Next week Tuesday November 22nd. The shooting begins at 12:30pm at MSR. If anyone wants to come out and cheer me on or do a little wrenching, you are welcome to join in. There may be a celebrity appearance by somebody from Flyin' Miata.

I don't know who or what I am racing against.

If you are coming, please let me know ahead of time.

[MadMerv]

I would come out and help. but I'll be at Laguna Seca :) What are you using for tires? What kind of alignment do you have? Do you need anything?

[srivendel]

Sorry. I'll be trying to get the heck out of town to go visit the family in Kansas.

Good luck, though!

S.

[Billy Blaze]

I'll come out and cheer ya on, I am off during the day, and will help out any way I can.

[Screamin'Screw]

I am looking to borrow a tire pyrometer, so if anyone has one please let me know.

[Sharpie]

Screw PM me your number. I'll come out and help for sure. I'm off all week for Turkey day! Hope the weather is good.

[Screamin'Screw]

I am using Victoracer V700s 205/55/14

I use fairly tame alignment settings -1.5 degrees camber front and rear. I drive the car as daily driver too.

I used the same tire when I ran Showroom Stock. Perfect wheel/tire combination for early Miatas. I would add some more camber up front, if you're serious about coming out on top at the Ranch. Of course, with the boost, it's much easier to "compensate" by rotating the car with power :) What kind of lap times can you run at the Ranch?

[channelmaniac]

I guess you aren't needing a sponsor for tires then?

[Screamin'Screw]

Oh! I still need sponsorship, I'm running on my old set.

[Screamin'Screw]

I am really starting to wonder what I am going to be racing against.

I am hoping it will be a lawn tractor, or maybe tricycle.

Hey Screw,

My last autocross this season is Sunday the 20th. I should have 4-6 205/50-15 V710s left over, which ought to be good for at least half a second a lap over the V700s/Victoracers at MSR. You're welcome to use them, along with the OEM 15" wheels they're mounted on, in exchange for running a set of DFWMiata.com magnets (I have a set you can borrow) on your car and mentioning this site in the segment.

Just beware - I don't care about the tires, but if you bend the wheels, you bought 'em.

Unfortunately, I'm under the gun with upcoming prototypes at work, so I can't take any time off next week. You'd have to come and pick them up Sunday or Monday night if you want 'em.

[Screamin'Screw]

Deal!

[trackdog]

He's about a 31 Merv.

Gary

[Screamin'Screw]

I'm not sure how to take that Gary?

I aspire to be a 28.

[Screamin'Screw]

Altain,

Please PM me your contact info I'll see what I can work out. I have a lipsuction scheduled for Sunday. The camera adds like 15 LBS - HD 1080i Wide format adds like 40 lbs.

[Sharpie]

Do you need me to get together with you before Tues? I have a Civic hatch I can load up with parts, tools, tires, or I can just bring the miata and have next to nothing with me. Up to you.....

[Screamin'Screw]

Sharpie - Whatever you want.

I know who and what I am going up against.

(2) Corvettes. I won't mention the driver's names, but I smell a rat. One driver said his lap times were 1:45. That seems a little high for MSR. If we really are as competitve as the producers think,I hope those widebodies let the miata pass.

[2K Miata]

You never said what your lap times are at MSR?

Can you give us a idea?

[Screamin'Screw]

I am guessing 1:34 Gary has me at about 1:31.

After FM retunes the car and we boost to 15 lbs, I think we might have a shot if I dont blow a intercooler connector hose clamp.
