Cool, we have nearly identical cars though my shocks are double the price of yours so I should go several minutes faster. I'm seriously considering tracking my car again this year, lol.

2:03 at ECR is a great time man, nothing miserable about that. 2:03 is what ken0 runs in his awesome BMW on street tires, he needs hoosiers to get under that. Hell anything under 2:00 out there is real race car territory. my best ever in the Boss 302 was a 2:04and change on street tires, but it was a fluke., i was generally at 2:08-2:10. I'm hoping to hoon the new car to a 2:06 or so at least on the 23rd, if i get it back in time. mostly because that is faster than the other guys i know that drive Boss 302s and scoffed when i sold mine for a miata.

Thanks, but that time is not great because that's at 250whp, not 210whp which is TTB legal. Ken was 10-seconds faster than me at ECR the last time I was there and we're in the same class. I think you will approach a 2:00 with time and definitely with Hoosiers.

I saw enough blown-up Mustangs this year and last that I would probably stay away from them and you probably made a good decision.

yes, but i have a roll bar and can trailer it home which adds +5 bravery. track it again, i don't know anyone off dfw autoclub and dfw miata that isn't too big a puss to go to the track with me. in fact, 23rd at ecr still has spots, i want to see your car run... and steal your suspension when you go in to drop a stinky load.

eh, the Boss 302 was made for track work. i wasn't worried about damaging it in the least. i wanted something that didn't gobble $1500 tires like tic tacs. now having driven the miata briefly on the track, i honestly think its more capable than that car was.

PS in each ECR driver meeting, the head instructor Brian something or other gives the if you see a miata in the mirror, point it by speech. if your car is green it's you he is talking about lol. true story. he specifically mentioned a green miata and a yellow one that is out there frequently "beating up faster cars".

that light made it really noticeable, but yes that fender was resprayed at some point. i only realized when i was cleaning it up because it is missing the M badge and undercoating on the bottom 1/4 of the fender. generally it looks better than that. i'm not sure if the rest of the car has just faded over the 18 years since it was born, or if they used a slightly off color code. luckily, the blue stripes tend to catch the eye more than a different color fender lol

just watch him drive in the wet, it's like, what water? im still going to go faster than you.

My montego 96 (has silver stripes now IIRC) is the cousin to those. i sold it to kieth when it was totalled in a small accident when he was putting together a few to test out the spec turbo thing.

green/blue? if so that's the one they rent out for Apex track days that's been a rental race car all its life. i cant think of anything harder on a car than being a rental race car. it looks just like mine, only with silver stripes.

fwMiata

yeah green/blue. i thought it was sold to someone, but who knows. it was a great car.

if you spent much time out there a few years ago, im sure you saw my current silver NB driven in the grass alot by the PO according to the amount of grass I have cleaned out of it... had rpf1's and gay bright blue seats in it. was supercharged, heavy set guy. did alot of de's and track instruction days.

ahheck09

thats a heck of a clean miata man, good lookin

fwMiata

ok, so apparantly thats not my car after all... it was mines twin, mine is now green and white? with doller signs all over it... been parked for some time now from what I understand....
