2009 MX-5 STR and track toy
2003 Z06 -- Not a Miata, but 3200# and 400 RWHP is fun
OTM -- 2012 Sierra, 2016 Impala (Appliances)
It was a fun event would have been nice if I had remembered my sunscreen....
Had a co-driver at this event which was pretty nice, learned a few things from Lost216. It is nice to get a second opinion on your setup. We both agreed that last years worn out Kumho's were a bad ideal, but suprising they lasted for the 12 runs we put on the car yeasterday!
The car finished 2nd and 3rd in CS so all in all not that bad of a start to '09!

Are places posted somewhere yet?
How many times you going to ask this question?
ER will post results shortly it normal takes them a day or 2.
But they are new! And I need them as daily driver tires, I just couldn't sacrifice them to the tarmac at Mineral Wells.Should have run his R1R "cheater tires"

Just wondering cause people keep coming in here saying what place they got. Settle down now.
Where are the results?!?!?!
If you don't know where you placed then you probably don't want to see the results anyway

Were you at the event BenCronin04?? During the event results are posted on the sandwich boards by the trailer.
And at the end of the event they have an awards presentation where they tell you who the trophy winners were, did ya run home early??
Plus if you ask nice enough they will even show you the sheets after the event is over.

Yeah I went home early. I saw the sandwich board and asked the guy putting stuff on it what it ment and he said he had no idea he was just putting stuff on it. But yeah I had to run home early because the gf was with me and she was getting a little hot and tired. I made her get up at 6 which really felt like 5 to come watch me race half a day. So we left a little early.
Ya did do your work assignment before ya took her home didn't ya??
Are the results up yet?

Yeah. I worked first, ran second.
Just checking since you are a newbie/civic owner.
Hey Ben, when the results come out, if you are not in Novice, then you need to talk to the ER staff. I was doing timing and you weren't in the Novice group in the system so your times *might* end up in the wrong section.
And sorry for all the 2nd heat timing issues. Something kept blowing across the timing lights (or they kept moving) after SS 52 took the finish line out so we kept getting these 14 - 50 second runs recorded. I'm sure everyone hated all their reruns :)
Yeah thats what I though. Cause after I ran my first times I heard them say, "Benjamin Romans in with a 84. whatever. He is currently 1st place in ST." And I was like, what about novice??? How would I get ahold of the ER staff. It even said "1NST" on my car. Oh and btw if that was your evo out there, which I'm assuming if was, let me know when you get tired of it. That thing is beautiful.
It will be about 2 years before I cycle cars. I don't think you'll want it in two years
Your car said NST 1, but the computer said ST. It was my first time running timing so I didn't know what the heck I was supposed to do when the computer was messed up. They do an audit before they post things officially, so I'm sure they'll fix it up.
You weren't the only one wrong in the computer. There was a Miata in N that wasn't in right as well as another miata that didn't have his Rapide Pax entry in correctly.
I think between it being the butt crack of dawn, the STS->ST & STS2-STS fiasco and the first event of the season things didn't run as smoothly as they have in the past. We also needed someone more experienced on the radio on turn 1 and 2. Getting cone calls of "Control, corner 1, that black miata that was before the white miata that just finished had a cone" or "Control, corner 2, 1 cone on #7" (no class designation). Not a huge deal, but it make keeping track of the cone calls a bit harder.
