Found out another one is registered, it's an NC in Enthusiast, so count is now up to 12, possibly 13, with all four generations represented. If the driver limit is capped at 80 again like last year, so far Miatas make up 15% of the field.

 

Bret N. in the NC participates in pretty much GTA event.

 

Wow so many Miatas at SLB.I'll be there in the blue car

 

We swapped to a Team entry so that Sebastian Loeb could co-drive. New splitter for Bullet to suit.

 

There goes the attempt to under sell it.. as if anyone believed it for a second

 

Errrr, can't tell if serious or not??

 

Totes srs.

 

I've talked to Cuong a few times and I know he is planning to be there. He also has a BMW ZF trans upgrade in the car using our kit so I'm excited to see it in action. Wish I could make it out to spectate.

 

WRT the Loeb reference, Dan's referencing the Peugot 208 T16

 

John was ah, not happy to see the results of our half drunk aero theorizing hanging off Bullet this morning. I guess we should have thrown the beer bottles resting on it into the recycling bin beforehand..

 

Looking forward to meeting some of you dudes! I will most definitely have the slowest miata out there

 

Right? LOL

 

Cutting it r-e-a-l-l-y close with the bodywork, definitely won't be able to run the car in the finished config, hoping to finish at least the essential stuff before I go into full Frankenstein and duct tape the car together..

 

Our SLB splitter is done and removed. Its maybe 10" outside the 245 A7's and around 8" in front of airdam. GT1000 wing. Pics after we mount it at SLB Supermiata this weekend at ACS so S1 aero went back on. Dyno Tuesday. To keep the transmission alive we will probably cap torque at around 280 and whatever horsepower we can get at that torque level.

 

Wasn't the Quaife good for 350-ish?

 

Quaife sequential rated at 375 BHP but we will not have time to install it or the custom-tuned OSD can differential or a flat bottom or diffuser, EFR6758 or any of the other things we would, if we had time. Still, the car should be very quick. We expect to do 1:46

When we bring Vegas, the new build to Super lap next year it will have all those goodies and more.

 

What is Vegas getting built to run?
SLB splitter sounds pretty cute..

 

Vegas is an S1. We plan to do one or possibly 2
two GTA events next year in it with significantly more prep.

The splitter on Bullet is cheap, perhaps inelegant but effective. Some who see pictures of it not privy to its rather expedient construction, might think it's all we're capable of. I look forward to reactions once time sheets are posted.

 

Relax dude, I was just joking a little bit, I have no doubt you'll be fast... IIRC your prediction of 1:46 is ~5 seconds than any Miata has ever lapped BRP 13CW, looking forward to seeing that.

 

Looking very forward to SLB. It sounds cheesy but I think this is the year we collectively put Miatas on the map at this event. Rewind just a few years ago and there wasn't a single Miata at SLB. Frankly, we all are singing the same tune about not having enough time to do half the things we would like to do. Regardless, this year we have some great builds and fast drivers coming out to represent and there are multiple Miata entries in every single class. I love it.
