Same shit at Lime Rock. The local church has been trying to close it since day 1 (in all fairness they were there first). No racing on sunday & strict sound limits almost every day. My miata BARELY passes and I don't even consider it that loud.

You know who cares about light weight parts?

You know who cares even more about making light parts than car racers? Bicycle racers.
They're looking to shed every gram of weight possible. So...if you look at this catch bottle from that perspective--and not the "what can I use from the sports locker" perspective, it looks pretty good. :) The swirl pot was leaking a bit over time, and we were using a crappy Checker/Shucks/Kragen/O'Reilly catch bottle solution. With zip ties. It looked like crap. And leaked. I drilled a hole for the hose into the place where the pop top would normally be located on the drink bottle, and then inserted a stainless sleeve inside the hose to keep its shape. A worm gear clamp prevents the hose from coming detached from the bottle top. FYI--either the stock heat shield is going on the exhaust, or the bottle mount is getting moved, or the aluminum bottle is getting used. Or all three. |
You sure you're not going to find that plastic bottle down the track on your following lap?

You should have went with an Arundel Mandible cage. I run two of those on my S5, and no it's not an audi. :)
Looking sexy as hell on the track! |

The bottle is really snug, and a single zip tie at top would lock it in place. I think it's getting moved to the front face of the shock tower, which will be much cooler. |
Why not just go with an aluminum drinking bottle?

Better? I was the lucky winner of this aluminum water bottle at Miatas at Mazda Raceway. It's being put to good use. :)

Now do something about the exhaust manifold. ;) |
Glad I'm not the only one who was disgusted by the ugly stock header on such a beautiful machine
