Reply With QuoteCool. Thanks. I don't care much about my lap time as long as I'm having fun and not sliding too much. All I know is I passed many cars in yellow group and pointed no one by except Jeffman and I waved to him instead of pointing.
Nails I did get a couple of consistant and I saw hi to mid 1.37s later on in the day Jackie said i was churning out 1.38 flat...but all in all times were taken via stop watch.

Glad to hear that y'all had a fun time. Wish I would've been able to make it, but this is peak deer season.
H2R has a HPDE in December w/o the ASE inspection requirement and longer sessions.

bo timed me in the car with a full tank of gas at 1:34Originally Posted by spoolin2bars
Michael/Quan, it was good seeing y'all down south @ Harris Hill yesterday. Talk Gary into doing another Miata track day, and I'll be back up your way for sure!
Ben, nice meeting you - sorry about your brake line troubles.
I had a great time, just wish my tires were still more in the prime of their life. The Star Specs have been great, but I think I'm ready to move to NT-01's next.
1:33's here w/ a passenger and a full tank of gas.

Woohoo! Was great time and I agree on the nitto nt-01's! Was good seeing ya again and your car rocks! Sent you a message on your profile page. Hope to see you in May if not sooner.
Thanks, Michael. Looking fwd. to seeing your @ MSRC at some point, hopefully w/ the long track layout. I've only the long course there on my motorcycle, and it was a blast.
I have a short vid from my 2nd session @ .
That maroon turbo 300Z was awfully patient. I heard it was about 600hp. I was watching it in your group from the grid. It looked like to me that it went faster up the hill than my car could go down the hill! So, I guess that's what it takes for a Porsche to concede? Is there something in Porsche owners' manuals that says, "Warranty voided if tab removed by anyone other than consumer, or if a red Miata is all up in your a$$."
PS I won't tell anyone you passed on the right.
Thanks. Luckily a Miata line fit. Don't know how, but I'm not fighting it. It was nice meeting everyone and I'm glad we all made it back safely.
LOL, GT3 owners seem to be the worst about not giving point bys to Miatas (I have a vid from TWS a couple of weeks ago tailing a 997 GT3 for 10 minutes). Yeah, I know about the pass, but I blame Kyle for pointing me by that way....I was just following his instructions. :) (my vid is for entertainment purposes only, not instructional)
There were a couple of Porsches in my group that pointed me by without too much difficulty. There was an RX-8 and Beemer that could've watched their mirrors better though.
Ben, that Miata brake line is a start. I think you should keep adding Miata parts until you've changed everything.
That Z is a very fast car with a very fast driver. On a clear track he was running in the 1.26 range last time we were out IIRC. Could have been faster for all I know?
Great meeting all of you - NC Eunos had some great, great throttle control, Nails was hitting lines well, and ChrisS is just getting too fast :) I'll get ahead of the curve next time with regard to a trailer and be sure to get my MX5 out next time everyone does an event.
Geezer's too modest. For those not familiar with Harris Hill yet; he's done a 1:26 in his normally aspirated NC and holds the sixth spot on the track's totem board. I think the best spec miata time is a 1:30.
I had a 0:51 but it was only half a lap.
Had a blast this last weekend...don't think I would of done so well without the help of geezer...thanks alot Jamie for ride in that sweet Aston and for all your instruting help. Would love to see that nc in action in the future!
someone told me it was very good for a first timer, i have no clue.
It is.
Children, children....remember its not a competition.
If it makes you all feel any better times from my first sessions were
1:44, 1:43 and 1:42. Now time to look at the 2nd session.
That's what we tell the insurance companies!
Jeff, that's a great time for a first time out. What all have you done to your car?
