    And brake fluid.


    BTW Speed's post reminds me that their Lemons car won at this track and I believe made a 2:09 so don't think that a momentum car can't haul ass there.

    Yeah I think you're right I just seem to remember 1/2 was together and maybe 3 was separate and 4 was separate.

    I'm hoping to get a ride or have someone ride with me. I followed a fellow DFWMiata forum member who shall remain nameless (ken o) and didn't learn much. He never touched the brakes! I need braking zones man! Seriously though, I guess I had a tough time learning the line with lead and follow. Especially if you get farther back in the line.

    You drive a car that can out handle my blotted pig. You don't need brakes, you need balls.
    M3 is always the answer.

    lol @ thinking a Miata on 225 Nittos can hang with a 275 Hoosier'd E46.

    I don't run Hoosier outside NASA. Those are just for you.

    Seems like that M3 would be hard to haul down to cornering speeds with all that weight, no matter how fat the tires. I don't have that kind of HP, but I'm 1000 lbs less on 255's. My times at MSR seem to suggest that the NC ought to be pretty fast if I'd learn to drive it smoothly. I hope ECR is as much fun as the 1.3 was.

    You haven't ridden with Ken on track have you? His brakes are very good and he doesn't use them a millisecond longer than needed. My helmet felt like a bowling ball riding with him at Cresson.

    It's one step about drag racing, oval tracks, and autox

    1.3 is fun but I like the 3.1 best so far. I haven't been to TWS. ECR at 2.5 and two elevation dips is fun too. Seems to me the longer the track and the more varied the turns and elevation the more fun it is. Probably why Nurburgring is like Mecca. ECR gets a bad rap for gravel/rocks when you go off and poor surface smoothness.

    I'm thinking motorcycle for the toy run will be more fun... But then again I would like to test out my new tune and intercooler on my car as well.....decisions decisions...

    Yeah that was funny as hell. Mike you can do both. They are separate days. I'll help cover costs as a co-driver, car or bike.

    I support anything that gets you out of that "lord helmet". It doesn't bother me to get beaten every weekend, it bothers me to lose to that helmet of yours.

    The helmet is the source of the speed.
