Here's to hoping the series can take off on the east coast!

There's very large gap between Mid-O and NOLA.....~1000 miles. Maybe we can get them to do SPM at Road Atlanta or NCM eventually.

Excited to see how this takes off here. I'd love to build a S1 car.

The east coast facebook page seems to be locked out unless you log in to facebook, not everyone has a facebook account. I can see the main/west coast facebook page just fine.

Also, it would be nice if the webpage also listed the east coast schedule.

I believe the group has to be a certain age before Facebook allows full public access to view the group.

I've mirrored the settings of
https://www.facebook.com/groups/SupermiataEast/
to
https://www.facebook.com/groups/southeastmiatas/

SouthEastMiatas works without a FB account, but SuperMiataEast does not..... yet.

I have some incentive now to make a new Facebook.

The only downside is the NOLA is the closest track on the 2018 calendar and it’s a 10hr drive (I’m in Orlando). If we could get Daytona, Barber, and road Atlanta I would figure out a way to make those three and NOLA.

All I’d have to do to run S2 in my car is remove ballast, switch the rearend, and load a lower hp map. Time to switch to E85.

I was reading the updated safety requirements that must be met by 2019, I did have a question when it comes to the emergency switch. Does a Cartek battery isolator meet the requirement? I would need to move where I was planing on putting the external button (rear quarter) if it’s allowed.

If the isolator cuts the engine and all electrical with the engine running, it's good. Has to interrupt the alternator. Otherwise the switch just keeps you from cranking the engine but won't actually stop it if its running. More than one way to do this and a good subject for a new thread.

The first purpose of the Facebook group was to get the knowledge of races out there . WRL hasn't run much publicity on it since they announced they were going to run the series rules back in late 2016. A second purpose was to start building a "community" much like what the California/West group has. That is something I really see as part of the success of this series in bringing in new people. The third was to show where people are from and where they are most interested in having races.

I did get an email from a WRL official stating that they are still looking at adding more races that may coincide with their HPDE program (I assume this is something similar to what the California group does with Speed Ventures). Though the official did state that this maybe more focused in the Southwest at this time. I know that Track Unlimited (the group that helps runs the Southeast WRL events) did run a Spec Miata Enduro last year at Barber that was pretty popular. So maybe we'll see something similar to this.

Don't count me out yet... I'm still lurking n watching. This would certainly motivate me to build the car to S2 specs IF I don't have to travel 800 miles one way to compete.
NOLA, RA, BMP, NCM, VIR are certainly doable.

GeneSplicer 01-06-2018 08:03 PM

Where's the dam delete post button?

Goingnowherefast 01-08-2018 09:06 AM

Joined the East Coast group and will be watching attentively. I think my current car might be too nice for W2W, but I may consider picking up a NB1/2 for vastly superior goodness that everyone's talking about.
