(Just wanted to share my post from the Miata site - I wish you guys would come out to an auto-x!)
It all started with this - except I painted the wheels:
I was not satisfied so I painted a little bit - lol:
Then, it was off to the auto-x, after doing plugs, wires, valve cover gasket, pads and rotors, some tires, an intake and I cut out the cat and put in a straight pipe, after that I thought I was ready - and when I got there I met a few very cool people. I helped out a little, and then waited until it was time to sign in and have a driver's meeting.
I have to say that after running with the Audi club and meeting lots of experienced drivers over there, and then coming over here, wow, your maps are way better, the cars are so much more fun to drive and the people are what really make it special - you guys ROCK!
Here is a guy that I hope will be kicking all of your arses in about 10 years or so ....
Here are some of the pics I shot, not all the cars, just the ones when I was working, but I have to say that I caught 2 DNF's and a cone killer while I was on my cell phone (the other 2 guys with me missed them all - lol) so even though I was taking a few pics I was seriously still working! - anyway, here we go .....
Some spectators:
One of our fearless leaders:
Good old #81:
This guy was super fast - but not the fastest I dont think:
Drift car, way too much power for his own good, and way too much for auto-x IMO:
Subie was pretty fast and smooth too:
One of Dave's car, highly modified and only beat me by about a second:
Its not just for Miata's - lol:
Although, the Miata's are the best:
See, look at that:
Even that wagons are doin it!:
Dave with the Miata, brought his buddy Adam with and his CRX - they both beat me
- lol, but they are both turbo'ed too!
So, after all was said and done, coming in 3rd was pretty good in my class, even though I think there was only 5 or 6 of us in that class, I was not last - lol
I did not take my time going home either, I was hungry ....... so I was did do a little speeding on the way home:
I know it was not smart to speed, but look at what I came home to - my wifey made me a treat!
Just so you know, that is my wife's homemade recipe for Banana Creme pie, and my wife is Italian so she likes to make everything from scratch kinda thing - all I can say is that right now, I am a happy man
