Re: Low's Spec Miata Series Announcement and Discussion Thread

Not to complain, but a suggestion.

As loathe as I am to extend my driving on this track this week, might I suggest a 15 minute qualifier? At around 1:40 a lap, at best, you're going to get 6 laps in.

Unless you think 4-5 laps is sufficient for a qualifier. Of course, we do have a 30 lap race after that.

So in summary, nevermind. Just thinking out loud again.

Last night's testing yielded a better time of 1:41 (mid).

I think we should probably just have 1 group

Pace Truck you say?

Awesomeness! That is bad ass Eric.

So is this for sure a 9:30 EST Saturday night race? If so, can I still get in? I'm almost positive I can make it tomorrow and that's generally a good time. Rookie group and I need the livery (and tune if you wanna save me some time. Wink

)

I hope its still on tomorrow. I moved my hockey ticket. Smile

by **marmuttlebow** Fri Oct 19, 2012 8:54 pm

Dash, there's no tune. Just tire pressure. Everything else is not adjustable. Just follow the build in the first post.

I know. I was just being lazy. All those words and stuff. Razz

Wow, truly ingratiating your way in the club.

Kudos to you sir.

Holy fisheye.

by **xraydash** Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:36 am

I got dropped at Lap 17 but hotlapped the rest and finished with a 52:10.512. That would put me at 7th behind Fraid, which I think was where I was when I got kicked. Here's the picture:

I have no clue why it was fish eyed like that. Every other picture if taken with my camera isn't like that. I even have a flat screen.

That was a ton of fun, and I'm surprised I matched my times when I was using manual w/clutch with just straight up manual last night.

I think if Beef didn't slide that on that one turn I would've been looking for a clean way past the whole race..I'm glad I didn't lag and crash into him like I did during the series race this week lol.

that was an awesome race mark, I was trying so hard just to keep you behind me. I would gain maybe 50 feet coming out of the corkscrew on some laps, but by the time we got to turn 2, you would be right back on my tail Very Happy

I made a small change to my miata. I put my gamertag on the rear bumper and put the same logo on the hood:

sweet logo beef! I wish the liveries would show up for everyone, it kinda puts it in a "race"-y mood or something, idk.

Yeah beef, I gained a lot of that space on turn 1, I was braking a lot later than you were into it so I caught up there...but I had to be careful following you everywhere else on the track so I didn't punt you off

by **Lowflyinmx3** Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:16 pm

That was some great racing last night you guys. Some impressive battles. Eric beating me in the last turn was actually quite exhilarating. Cant wait for sedona.

by **nubrocket** Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:20 pm

When I look at beef's photos I can't help but think to myself "look at all those goddamn Mazdas".

by FraidKn0t Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:42 pm

Great racing!! I had a few intense battles, especially Rickenbacker. I caught up to his bumper on 6 different occasions, but every time I tried to pass I would have to bail and end up losing ground.

by beefsupreme42 Sun Oct 21, 2012 11:02 pm

I'm definitely looking forward to sedona. I like the reverse version of the club circuit best, but I think regular club should be pretty good too

by **BiggLou55** Sun Oct 21, 2012 11:06 pm

Sorry I couldn't make it last night. When my wife returned from her mothers (Dana, her sister and mother had a movie night), she was pretty upset. I won't go into details, but needless to say, it kept me occupied for the remainder of the evening... I don't think she would have appreciated me bailing on her right then and there for a game.... I love you guys, but I love my wife more! Very Happy
