    Sigh... signed up for morning of the 30th. I'll make sure to bring both cameras and the datalogger this time.

    Well never mind. I really should check my calendar before signing up for things.

    LOL! I hear you set a new record number of laps. I have a feeling that one will stand for a loooooong time! Have you recovered yet?

    Yeah it took a day but ready for some more. BTW remind me about the OBD reader while we are out there if you are still wanting to borrow it.

    Will also have fresh tires to run for next event.

    Actually I picked up an ELM327 bluetooth OBDII interface that's supposed to work with RaceChrono. Haven't tried it yet though.

    How's the Sentra build coming along?

    I got the suspension on it, have the head taken apart on my bench, and a trans apart to work on on the garage floor... but otherwise not much real progress.

    Been spending more time working on the miata. Still throwing codes every race, but never on the street. Just keep fixing problems with the supercharger kit design... That for some reason only I have.

    Is the course going to run clockwise or counterclockwise? Some of my tires are showing more ware than others and I would like to even them out.

    Morning is around 8-Noon Afternoon is around 1 until everyone wants to go home. 2pm would probably be a little to late to show up.

    So big congrats to Nathan (slowchildmiata) for setting a new record for most number of laps completed in one day. The new record is 75 laps which will probably stand for a long time! Here is a picture of the trophy:



    Nathan get's to hold onto this until someone beats his record!

    Yeah the event is actually almost full. Only 2 spots left, one morning and one afternoon. You should come on out! You'll probably know a lot of the people there from autox.

    I'm not 100% sure what it is that happens there. It's an autocross with no workers and you just keep running laps over and over?

    Not as tight as an autocross course - more track-like. Yes - multiple laps. Pick up what you knock down after your laps - then the next car goes.
