A lot has happened since this was last discussed. Things still a go?

 

AFAIK Sonoma county hasn't allowed the track to reopen yet. They're hopeful that'll happen this month, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Maybe you could try declaring it a "peaceful protest" event like they** did in NC. Seems to be the only way to be allowed to gather in Commiefornia any more.

Indeed. They still haven't opened PIR here either. Have a couple track days there next week, hopefully they happen.

 

The September 26/27, 2020 Sonoma event is still happening on Speed Ventures website

Group discount code MIATA2020 will get $20 of if they get more than 10 registered

We won't be there.

 

I'm not sure to what you could be referring...

 

I saw on FB this morning that Sears Point is now open for track days.

One other thing that happened is that NASA Nationals got cancelled, so the dates being close together and funds for both don't matter anymore.

Not sure how fast my car is going to come together though. It's a bare shell right now and I'm stitch welding the chassis, so literally as torn down as you can get and a lot of fab work to do yet.

I'd like to make it but I won't know until later.

 

Speak for yourself :P

I'll be there, though likely just working the event and hanging out with whoever shows up. Won't be driving.

 

So we're about 6 weeks out from the event now. Anyone signed up?

--Ian

 

Not sure whether we'll be going or not, but kinda leaning towards no :(

 

My car's obviously not going to be done.

 

If I can get my car done, ill probably go

 

That's going to be a "no" from me dawg. Funds are being diverted to a new supercore.


Hey, that's not quite right...

 

Ouch. throttle body screw?

--Ian

 

That's kinda what I figured would be the answer. I may go, just because I want more Sears Point seat time, but if so it'll probably only be for Sunday.

--Ian

 

I'm a no, unfortunately. Cause, like, "unprecedented".

 

Unknown actually, but we are pretty sure it has been like this for the entirety of my ownership. Purchased the "kit" second hand, and I guess both the seller and myself missed the damage initially as the turbo is behaving exactly like it did when it was installed. Probably explains the slow spool that Andrew pointed out in my dyno thread.

Given that it has gone through four track days with this damage I'd probably be okay from a reliability standpoint to head down, but those funds would probably be better spent getting the turbo back to 100%.

 

Y'all are breaking my little Miata lovin' heart, but I can't blame you.

 

I'm sorry Ed
