Oh no! What happened?
No clue. I didn't hit or have an off. mr brg saw it before I went out for last session. THANKS to him for seeing it. It was the front and rear on the passenger side.
Ken, thanks for giving my brother-in-law a ride today. He was impressed with your driving skills. Sorry to hear about your cracked wheels. :(
Lots of fun today! It was great to see all the Miatas out there!
Ken, sorry about the wheels. :(

Sorry to hear about the wheels, Ken. D Force? Maybe they'll help you out with some replacements.
I had a great time, finally got some open track in the last session and put in a few good laps. Nice to see so many dfwmiata guys out there.
I took some pictures of Run Group 2, here's the link

Found a picture of me at that link, thanks for posting.
I also had a good time. Nice to see so many DFW Miata people at the track.
I reached the thermal capacity of my rotors for this track. Its not a problem at TWS, HHR, MSR, Hallett, or MSR-C, but this track eats up my brakes. After about 5-laps I lose friction/brake torque.
I had a good 6+ laps with a Spec Boxster in the last session until brakes died with a passenger in each. He said he ran 2:05's and 6's when we were playing so that shows improvement although I should be running 2:02's. That was one of the most fun sessions I've run in my car.
Great times! Have you thought about freelance brake testing? Seems you should get paid to destroy all those brake parts.Quote:

ECR is almost comical considering it's beating on brakes...there's only so much iron you can fit in a 15" wheel.
Last year, my fastest speed down the back straight was 85 mph. This year with a little more experience, a little more tire and a little more brakes, I topped out at 92 mph. My best lap was a 2:24.0, second fastest was 2:24.1.
