    On the subject of helmets..

    The very first SA (2000) rated helmet I ever bought was the G-Force Hybrid. G-Force Modified SA2010 Helmet - SafeRacer At the time I was doing lots and lots of AX events, and doing maybe a couple or three track events a year. The things I liked about it was there was plenty of space in the...

    COMSCC at Summit Point Main Course May 7-8

    May 7-8, 2012 COM hasn't released their official schedule, but I think these dates will be solid. The club hasn't done a TT event on the main course since 2004 so I would say all the class lap records are up for grabs. This is a two day event with practice sessions and student groups on day...

    Multi Layer Suits...likes...dislikes?

    I have been browsing around for a new suit for awhile, and really want at least a 2-3 layer suit, but this stuff is really expensive and I don't want to deal with buying something only to return it to get another. I'd rather get it right the first time. The suit I have is single layer, and is...

    Operation "Hamster Swap" has been initiated..

    If one hamster = 0.1, and I need 16 hamsters to power a 1.6L 93 Miata engine.....then I'll need two more to power the 1.8 I'm installing this week. If the replacement engine makes stock power levels, and there is no reason it shouldn't, it will be roughly a 20hp improvement, and more torque...

    MR2 on full tilt has trouble...

    Monticello Motor Club NY 5/4/10

    Here are some vid highlights of me from the newish track in NY state, Monticello Motor Club. This was a Monday-Tuesday event. It was a busy event as I had two students in addition to getting my own seat time. I highly recommend this track. Lots of great turns (21 in all on the full course)...

    ...and they say you can't polish a turd.

    I had a little bit of a buff job done so I could apply the new vinyl numbers.. I guess there was a pretty good finish left under a thick layer of skuzz... and the passenger side...

    Off season tire talk...

    It looks like my big winter mod will be fresh rubber. I'll probably run three sets of tires. A soft tire, a hard tire, and wets. I'm pretty sure the soft tire will be A6's, and obviously the wets will be Hoosiers. I'm just not quite sure about the hard tire. At first I thought I wanted V710's...

    Need help finding some text.

    Someone on here posted a funny rhetorical story sometime back. The story is about two guys....one is a track dog that continually asks the other guy if he is coming out to events. The other guy continually makes excuses about what the car needs until he finally says the car is finished after...

    Cayman S

    I drove a Cayman S at a Devens event recently. It was an autocross course in our typical 2.1 mile configuration, and much faster than a standard parking lot course. I had my Miata there on the harder track rubber, but still track rubber none-the-less. The Cayman was completely stock, with stock...

    Potential new I-phone lap timer app that actually is useful..

    My brother’s son is going to MIT. He and some class mates are doing a project for extra credits. Their project is to build a few I-phone apps. I mentioned to my brother about a potentially simple app they could do to make a lap timer for a couple bucks a download. Some folks, such as...

    Hosed... :(

    My trip to Tremblant was a good one, and I got a good amount of track time, but it rained pretty hard during the time trials, and everyone in my class aside from me was running Hoosier wets. In the standing water....of which there was a LOT at the track...particularly in the places where a...

    What a position to be in.

    Ok. I'm leaving for Mont-Tremblant on Friday, and here is the deal: This will be my fifth time to the track for a TT event. The previous four years were with my Cobra. I have logged at least 1200 miles, roughly 461 laps at this place in total. My best lap there is 1:54 in the Cobra. I have a...

    COMSCC at Mont Tremblant June 8-9

    I just wanted to post up about this event. Com has a rather low car count for this upcoming event. They will not cancel, and there are presently only 4 students registered, so by midday the first day, it could go to open track. There is a time trial on the second day, but with so few cars, it...
