Fun car and track, but it would have been nice to see my time come down! I will try to hop in the FXX K EVO tonight and see if that changes the dynamic. A change could be beneficial. A new car could make you concentrate more.

Or not. :-)

PS: Is the Miata ready to go? It's that time of year. Hello Prange

Don't want to be too off topic but the question is timely - had it on track for first time this year on Saturday at Palmer. After a few damp late winter days it started out cold and moist, so very green and slippery in the AM, but the sun broke through and we had a nice, pretty quick track to play on. Maybe a little slippy for lack of rubber - turn 2 is flatout in an SM there when everything is right, and it just wasn't quite happening Saturday - so the car was dancing really nicely. Like playing with a puppy all day!

Was there Friday too, testing/tuning my turbo miata upgrades (avatar pic car) and after 2 years of this ill-conceived upgrade it's almost there - it ran nicely for a hour before the wastegate dump pipe fractured. That's a small thing (hope it doesn't portend deeper vibration issues) but we've finally got good tuning and parts aren't flying off :).  Between cold/moist conditions and working up to speed I was never really attacking the track with it, but it was feeling good at long last.  280 at the wheels and 2400 lbs, it'll be quite the weapon when we get it all sorted.

You gonna hit the track anytime soon? Nice,280 rwhp. Should run great without overpowering the chassis.

I’m pretty much out of the driving part of it. My competition license has been expired long enough that I’d have to start over. I just don’t have the desire to commit enough time to be successful at it.

Good luck and maybe I’ll see you at the June Sprints one day.
