My Best Run from Z-Max......the drama leading up to this run was like none I had ever experience in AutoCross. I (Irresponsibly) had been lazy and put Generator Gas in one of the cans we use for Race Gas. I put a piece of tape around the handle and put a different "neck" on the can.......but then my dumb *** forgot to tell anyone else. When we were prepping the car for morning runs, Randall fueled the car like he always does.....with 93 rather than C-16. Well. I go out on my first run and the car doesn't feel quite right...and when I come through the finish and caught a whiff of gasoline.....rather than C-16 and it hit me.
So we get to grid, I tell the opps steward what happened and rush the car back to paddock, jack up the rear of the car and break loose the line on the fuel pressure regulator, Bryan Hayes got in the car and operated the fuel pump and we drained all the "93 / C-16" Mixture out of the car. And while we were doing that, dad was replacing the rear wheel stud I broke while I was removing the pass side wheel to get to the fuel system.
We got all that replaced, put 5 gal of fresh C-16 in her and I drove quickly back to grid and as I was pulling in the grid worker tells me our Mechanical is over and I have 50 seconds to present to the line to make my run......as I am pulling to the line I'm putting on my hat and trying to get buckled up.....which I failed to do. So I go out, run a 36.1 before I am able to catch my breath and still trying to get my head back into driving mode.
High Rez video to be uploaded later.....for now......enjoy the RaceKeepr stuff.

Here is another run from this past weekend. Car is working so well right now. Accelerating like a cartoon, and just doing exactly what we ask it to do exactly when we ask it to do it. The new motor is pulling .15g more in a straight line than last year's motor....and it's not even tuned yet.

What's your wheel setup now? Certain pics looks stretched like a 12 but it could just be tire deformation with as much force as they see. I know before you've said you didn't think 12's would fit up front on a Miata but the Two-Six guys seem to be making it work on the CSP car.

Sooooooo. Some of you already know that the crank broke at the Peru Championship Tour event on the 16th.
I just wanted to report that the motor is running again and we will be at the Bristol Double National Event next week!!!!!!
