Believe me, if I could have stayed I would have!
I was having a blast and improving over all of my laps too boot! I'm actually kinda glad that my Azenis didn't make ti to my rims... I got to thrash and trash the Yokos one last time.
Hmm. $50 bucks per run
Thanks for pointing that out. It seems I am not the only one seeing outside edge wear on A3S04s. There is a thread on the poiny board right now.
I hear there is a very competitive mens quilting club, I may have to check it out. This hobby is getting expensive!

That was a lot of fun. Gregg Lee designed another great course (although I think you six-speeders had a gearing advantage yesterday) that flowed really well. Beating Kestrel by three-thousandths of a second was an added bonus. :P
Quick question - was anyone else having cooling problems yesterday afternoon? Both leadfootjon and I did - his water temp spiked during the afternoon runs, and I had to turn on the heater for my last few runs to manage my temps.

Yep the POS was also having issues, but it never went past 3/4 on the gauge....
Great course! Great Day!
Mine was running a bit hotter than normal, but never got past 3/4 on the gauge. Was hanging right around the 5/8 mark.

I had no cooling problems at all, with the exception of my P/S pump boiling over. But my coolant stayed right where it should. I'm running a coolradiator.com aluminum race radiator. It was about half the price of the FM radiator, and so far, no increasing temps; like I had last year.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that the results are up at DLBRacing. :) Send me a PM with any scoring/classing issues.

I see that a few of the miata pilots beat all the S2K's except for (about) the top (3). Way to drive... :)
Another fantastic NTS2KOC event!
Mr. Lee's work at Mineral Wells really paid off, as there were sections of the course that actually had grip
Losing to altiain by 3/1000ths of a second was unfortunate
It was great to see those new faces out there -- nice to put a face to a [screen]name. Looking at the times, I think we Miata Pilots did a pretty good job!
Lastly, I also had "overheating" problems... and that concerns me, since it wasn't really all that hot. It was humid, so perhaps that added to the problem. But I think my car is due for a coolant flush.
Maybe it's time for a tech day for radiator flush & fills...
My 92 Black & Tan could use it. The temp gauge hit 3/4s after a spirited 90mph run down I35E and across 635 to Fry's in Irving.

Lightness? What's that? I drive a PRHT!
I wish I hadn'tI already felt bad about my performance before I saw how slowly I drove all day.
Other than that, I think it was a great course and I had a good time.
Thanks to S2K for another good course, and to GL for all the tractor work.
What are you yapping about?I wish I hadn't
The only person I didn't beat was the kid without his driver's license... and then not by much!!
I'm like a Hoover vacuum... I really, really, really suck at this.
But what blast!
Yea but no one can question your course working ability! I hear you can reset cones better than most!
I can't say I didn't get my exercise...Yea but no one can question your course working ability! I hear you can reset cones better than most!
I still can't say who spins better - POS or Baryshnikov. :P
I'd be in for that. The fluid in my overflow tank looks like sewage, and I can't remember the last time I changed it. That can't be good for the car.

Wow. big shiznit going on the S2K board about an' incident.' I didn't see it or even hear of it. But I know the prior days' AutoX was strewn with safety issues. From big issues like course design at probable incident locations to multiple smaller issues of drivers and riders being barefoot or playing 'camera mount' 3 feet over the top of the windscreen. Of course, speeding from the course finish into the paddock was common.
Overall, the course layout was good and not' gimmicky.' But some high speed areas should have been better placed. It was a fun day but it was not without 'incidents.'
S2K is much better (extremely) about these basic rules. Had a great time and will attend all of them still to come. LSBMWCCA could learn a lot from S2K.
