    I am signed up on line and ready to race. I live 2 miles from the Airport,so it is easy for me to get out every time they race. The 8th was my first Autocross event, had a great time, work corner 2 Sunday so my son could run the morning heat. Hope to met more Miata folks on the 15th.

    Crap, I'm going to be in East Texas next weekend, but I loved the last BMW CCA event I went to. Good course, very well-run, EIGHT RUNS, and we were done in time for a late lunch.

    Were you in the red Miata? If so, I was in the white Miata parked near you.

    I might be in for some MCd if I can get up in time which is doubtful. Heck I don't even know what I'm driving yet.

    Not my kind of course, but it was still a good time.

    I had some issues after my first run. It turned out that I had spark plug go bad. Thanks to Rick Gonzalez for the tools, helping me diagnose the issue, and letting me finish my AM runs in his car. Thanks to Ken O for taking me Autozone. Thanks to others for their concern and offers to help. I really appreciate it, guys.

    For the $20 he charged me, he let me ride in the hatch area. It smelled funny back there. Not ha-ha funny. Odd funny. Yet, familair.

    Good times! The vette was fun to drive, but the totally dead V710s probably weren't any better than decent street tires. All four tires were corded when we took them off.

    Great driving out there Cosmos!

    Well, I was still having issues after changing the plugs, so I finally got around to ordering some OEM wires and installing them last night. They seem to have fully fixed the issue.
