In my last session I saw a piece of plastic in the middle of the front straightaway...it looked FDish in nature.

I dont think I ran into that red FC on track. Was he in a different run group? At least you had a good pace going. Good thing we moved into the intermediate group. Fisa, let me know whenever you guys go to another track day and invite your friend Clay. Was that his name? He was a cool guy. I had fun chasing him around I'll be prepared with a reliable camera next event. I was bummed I didnt get any footage this time around. Not even a single picture with my camera . That plastic piece was half of Anjew's R1 lip

Mazfest was fun. What was under the hood of that silver miata with flares? The blue Speed World Challenge 6 couldn't pass him.

Yeah, that was half of my R1 lip. I forgot to bolt it back down with my undertray so it was only held on by the clips and one bolt on each side.

Here's a video of Charles doing a drift demo in Emilio's (from 949 racing) Miata:

This was probably the fastest closed-wheel car there.

Unfortunately, my friend dropped the camera right after my first run, so we didn't get any footage. I was in the intermediate group, and he was in novice to do the lead/follow the first session.

Of course when you don't film something of intrest happens DIRECTLY in front of you!

That was my car, and thanks! My friend and I were sharing the car, so that kinda kept us busy and we didn't get to really talk to you guys.

I'm just trying to get the car dialed in before I swap in an LS1.

I'm running BC coilovers with 8K/6K springs, RB swaybars and endlinks, solid rear subframe and diff bushings, and Nexen 235/40/17 tires all around.

I have the individual rear camber adjusters, DTSS eliminators and poly front control arm bushings sitting in the garage.

I think I'm going to try the Suspension Techniques rear sway bar. The car has a bit of on power understeer.

That splitter looks home made/custom made out of ABS or Kydex.
