I had a rough weekend - wrong car, wrong tires, etc. but I had a ton of fun so it's all good (except for the cold rain monsoon on saturday)!

Hope you get your car fixed and look forward to seeing you in Wilmington in a few weeks.

6 speed 3.636 is a decent combo ill break about 10 5 speeds for every one 6 speed using it for autocross. I was shocked to loose about 12 lbs with the 5 speed Quaife however. Even lighter now that big side of my 5th gear is ground down to nothing more than a spacer sleeve. less rotating mass. Most of the weight difference between the 5 and 6 speed is rotating assembly parts.

Car was pretty good at the Wilmington Summer Pro. I drove well...just red lit away a time that would have landed me in second place....then coned away a time that would have....you guessed it.....landed me in second place. We were the fastest thing there with fenders. Only vehicles in the 31's were my car and 2 of the shifter carts.
Had both these runs been clean, I would have been 2ths out of the lead and solidly in the challenge. As it stands....my co-driver won by over a second.

Fastest Miata at Nationals second year in a row
On a side note. I need to find the best cylinder head builder in the US. I need to send him some parts for a post mortum. Those of you who were at Nationals know all about my issues....when I got the head off the car today....it was A LOT worse than I had expected. We are REALLY lucky the damn thing didn't fly apart on Randall's last run.
