I are dumb. ;) Thanks :)
I still haz a fuel rail leak and my thread sealant didn't arrive today. Looks like I'm working on the car in the wee-hours of the night next week.
where has jeff_man been? is he going to this event at msr-c?
currently unemployed, but he's around. He finally found a girlfriend that's into scat and the use of ball gags and whips.Quote:

he's got himself a scat cat? what a puss (no pun intended) well, we can't all be superstars. lol
I have a job for him as a urinal in my scat dungeon. I'm full of coffee and asparagus.
Anybody know of anywhere cheap/free to stay out there friday night?
There's a motel 6 in Benbrook I've stayed at. I know some have stayed in Granbury too.
I think The Lodge in Granbury is the cheapest.
MaxQ Data is on the lam!!!! Well, not answering phone or email so it looks like I won't have lap-times for the event this weekend. :(
just so you guys know. if you stay at the new best western across the street from the track, ask for the nasa tx. racing track discount. it's $20 cheaper.
Will they not have transponder rental available?Quote:

Wow, I've never paid to spectate at MSR.
Registered and in. Never done a NASA event before - Can I tech the car myself or do I need to have my shop here tech it?
Gotta tech there.Quote:

Thanks to S2B for setting up the Miata Challenge and for loaning me the transponder (even though it crapped out LOL). Big thanks to ZX-Tex for loaning me his GPS/Bluetoot/Ipod thingy so I could get a decent lap recorded (1:27.3). Not sure if it was my best, but it will have to do...
Nice seeing the gang, and putting faces/cars to handles. Some very fast company and I need to step up alot. My plan worked on the last session, gridded up front behind Colin-MX5 (first out, NB w/FastForward supercharger) and The Geezer (very fast NC). Following them to try and learn helped lots. Here's a vid of the last session: Colin goes off at around 4:11 and Geezer gets by. Colin quickly recovers and the fun begins on the next turn... http://vimeo.com/10160118
Looking forward to the next TXMC date. Good times, good times.

Congrats to the division winners! Really smoking time there Geezer! Hard to believe that was your first time at Cresson. 1-2-3 in unlimited were very close.
Mod was closer than it looks. In every session Tanner beat my best from the previous session and we were both still cutting a second off each time out.

I had brake failure again but I plan on not giving up until I run 1:24's out there. Its going to be a long road.
Should be doable.
I thought for sure we'd see more guys from the Track Dog Racing Saturday lunch crowd. Was Wags the lone representative? Where were Gary, William, Michael (Michael was there, as a spectator), Skirt, Bacon (I don't know if he's still in that crew), etc.?
I think there were a lot more out-of-towners than locals. Wassup wit dat? :confused:
Bacon moved to the land of Fruits and Nuts, and last time I saw Gary he was in a cast. William and I took our daughters out for the day together while our wives were enjoying a day off. Skirt had twins a few years back and I am sure that has cut in to his track time.Quote:

Why is my car smoking between shifts? Lack of a cat converter?
2 things could be happening, did you touch the rev limiter? even just 1 blip of the limiter will throw a big puff of smoke.
or, maybe it's just a little unburned fuel from when you let off the gas during the shift.
ha, you should see the smoke I get when I let off since I installed the surge tank.
The typical list for smoke on decel/shift is:
- PCV system
- blown rings
- valve seals
- excess fuel
If I had to guess, I'd say it's your brakes. Just sayin...Quote:

I'm not in that video. My feature spot is actually sixace. He has a carbon trunk and a factory rear bumper and silver wheels.Quote:

Gentlemen,
Thought I'd give everyone the heads up - my MX5 is for sale. I'll do a full ad in the next few days, but I'm looking for 20K complete (including 17x9 wheels/Hoosiers).
:shock:
