Yeah, sorry about that. I've been leaving small puddles of coolant around and I want to get that fixed before running it hard again.

I'll be there on Sunday to see that beast for sure. I'm still upset with myself that I missed seeing it at the Halloween event.

I may have to miss Saturday due to a conflict with the PSU game being at FEDEX Field and my inherent need to tailgate before hand I really wish this one would have been in Bowie. I haven't seen the game time posted yet but if it ends up being a night game (which I doubt) I may be able to sneak in a morning session in Fredrick.

Mike, What tires do you usually run on these cold race days? I switched mine over to my old all-seasons for the winter already. should I put the star-specs back on for the event?

star specs are great for cold weather. arguably better than A6s. I have both for the rx-7, so I'm not sure which ones I'll be running, it'll depend on how cold it is.

I'll my running A6s on the corolla the day before which will probably influence my decision too

you didn't come out

I was whoring out the RX-7... 5 different people drove it.

I ended up on the star specs because I was too lazy to take the A6s out of the closet...

I also didn't make it on Saturday, I was in NYC at a funeral...

The 7 is pretty awesome after everything I did to the rear end/subframe over the summer. it's still a bit tail happy though I think I just need to get my right foot under control haha.

I was up too late after tailgating the night before and couldn't drag my self out of bed in time to get up to Fredrick.


It sucked to miss the last one of the season, I bet you got a bunch of runs on Sunday.

yeah, we got 10 runs, would have been more, but the sun sets so early now... so we were worried about that.

My rx-7 got a bunch more though because I let 4 other people jump in and drive it :P

don't let cobra drivers or morans drive your car... it'll make you sad because you'll realize how slow you are haha

Haha, I know I'm slow. But I'd actually have a good laugh at them trying to handle the Automatic

Get any potential converts?

Who's interested in a winter event?

https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/1050

It's going to be a "big/fast/fun 'pro style' course "

that's going to be hard to justify to the misses... as I am going up to CT for the East States rallycross championship the weekend before

I just checked in here after a long time, and that made me laugh alot!

Guy here has blown struts, but I have big plans for both cars in the Spring. I don't know when I'll ever make it out to the next autocross.

I have a lot of work to do; a lot of parts to install, and I don't know when I'll be able to convince my wife to let me buy new struts.

Have you had the baby yet Mike? Boy or girl?

I'm up in PA with my in-laws and my wife's baby brother and sister. One is 2 yeras old and hte other is less than a year. Thay're a handful.
