It's about time....

I like to think of myself as web-savvy. I mean...creating the internet (or portions thereof) is my career. I know my way around the triple-dub.

So why did it take me so long to find this place? I have no clue. I'm a bit disappointed in myself, actually.

At any rate - I'm here now, thanks to several folks at the TDR event at MSR this weekend who gave me dirty looks when I mentioned that other Miata forum. I'm glad to have found this one and I look forward to spending more time with you guys in the future.

I'll see you at a Weds night meet sometime soon!

-Steve

Thanks. I did them just for this event, but because of the amount of effort I'm gonna leave 'em on for a couple weeks. Maybe through the next autox :)

I live in southwest Frisco. Legacy & Lebanon is the closest "big" intersection.

Heh. Thanks. The only thing I don't like about them is cleaning them. Too many spokes to get in between.

Um...ya. Sorry about that :punchout: I did manage to get it on video. I'll post that in the next day or two.

Nope. I just continue to use the same login for all my message boards because i wouldn't be able to keep it straight, otherwise :) I've had 4 MR2's in the past. I moved on from those to a WRX that I had for a few years. Got that up to 300whp and then sold it to get a C32 AMG which is now my wife's ride. The Miata is my daily.

Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

Hey there. I mentioned the forum to you in the morning. Nice spin in the third session! That was one of the closest calls I've experienced on the track!

And thank you for mentioning this forum! I'm excited to get plugged back into a car community. Didn't get much out of the Mercedes crowd (not my kinda "car" people). Yours was one of my favorite Miatas of the day. I'm slowly convincing my wife to let me get a NA when I'm done tinkering with the NB. She never really understands my attraction to them - yours put it a little bit into perspective for her, I think :clap:

The spin was actually in the 4th session - and yes. It was close. I was a total noob and totally f'ed that up for no reason. It was my fastest session of the day. I was starting to brake later into the turns and I scared myself. I wasn't really going too fast for the turn - but when my late(r) braking sent the rear out a bit I froze up and didn't compensate with anything but opposite lock....which obviously is only one piece of the puzzle.

I was pretty happy with myself overall, though. Not bad for an autocrosser's first time out on a road course. Actually - now that I think of it - it was my first time out on any course with the Miata. The last car I autox'ed was the C32.
