What a day on the tire-killing, sunburn intensifying, next-to highest peak in Mineral Wells!
This was my first time trial, and I was not dissapointed. Congrats to the Maverick team for putting on a great event. Even though more drivers showed up than were expected, the event ran smoothly and I personally had a great time.
The warm-up laps with my cordial instructor Mitch were a learning experience, however the laps at full Miata speed----no eye rolling here---were fast paced and thrilling. The most fun of my day was during the last set of runs when we had 5 Miatas out on the track. Well true to my form I made sure that the rear of the car passed the front of the car at least once today and that occured on my warm-up lap during the last group. Since I am used to having the car pointing in a less than ideal direction during a lap, I was able to quickly recover and get back on the road. When I passed the starting line and took the 270 degree turn to the left I could see none other than Jarret Jan but a few car lengths behind me. Well I knew that if he caught up to me and had to have a re-run lap I would NEVER hear the end of it, so the race was on. During each of the three laps I concentrated on looking ahead, keeping up my momentum, making sure the tires screech on the little concrete patch by the storage tank, and pushing pushing pushing. Then when the runs were over Jarrett and I were sure that we had hit our fastest times of the day...............................well we went to the timing van and discovered that sadly we did not earn FTD but we had tons of fun and I am ready to try out a track day now for sure!
Looking forward to the next autocross with the crew!
Those last three laps chasing Brad were great! Good times.
Here is a video... once Google is done processing it. It is the last lap of me chasing Brad. Oddly, he was the only Hudson. I forgot what a one-Hudson event was like. ;)
Course two is my fav.
I had a great time also. I hope that someday I will be faster, but it's still fun.
It was nice to meet some more Miata drivers, f_399. his brother-in-law and others.
The crazy thing is that watching that video I can still feel the car turn and the two places that lap I really messed up on!Quote:

It was great fun, good to see so many miata out there.
The Dunlop Z1 works really well on the 6UL, and they hold up fine with full tread.

Here was the course for the autox sunday. Basically they combined all of their time trial courses together. No slaloms, no offsets. It was twice as long as any mineral wells course ever...

I'm glad you guys enjoyed TT#2. If anyone missed me in the late afternoon, I left at 2pm because my car was running really crappy again...so I limped it home.
Discovered a split vacuum line to the fuel box so it probably ran lean...I have one plug (#3 this time) really oil fouled. I repaired the vacuum line and replaced the plug. The car ran good...but after only 10 miles, #3 plug was oil fouled. I'll see how it does at MSR if I get in. No time to fix it if it's what I think it is anyway. :( Now I need to fix the lights on the trailer so I can bring my Miata with a way to get it home.
Anyway, I heard more than one comment about all the Miatas..all were very positive. This group of Porsche people really like variety in cars. ;)
Hope to see you guys on 6/21.

I guess we can put up with those crummy ol' Porsches if they can stand us. ;)Quote:
