Just to prove that you don't have to drive a freaking Miata to win at autocross.



This is an update from my last race (I'm on Sumitomo HTR tires)



Wow, what a great race this past weekend!!!



Even though the clutch is toast, and we had to be very delicate with it on our starts and that shift into 2nd gear, the car did just fine. We probably could have gained another second or so on the starts with a good clutch, but we still managed to put the fear of God into them.



Here's the kill list (all but a couple of these were on race rubber):



2x Honda S2000

10 out of the 11 Miatas (one was supercharged, with two drivers, I beat one but not the other)

944 Turbo

Mazda MS3

2x BMW Z3

8x rotaries (including an ITA car, and a turbo II)

4x Subaru WRX

2x Subaru STI

VW Corrado



Official results are here: http://furrin.org/Results/tabid/56/a...--9122009.aspx (I'm 98 CSP).



Lots of photos from the event (I'll post a link when I get them uploaded) and a bunch of video that I'll post up if I ever get the time to go through it.



I think we'll be taking a bit of a break while I sort out the clutch, a fuel leak, and install some new front struts (upgrading to race Illuminas from the "stock" Illuminas).



Well, so much for the theory that a 1st gen will never be competetive against the Miatas.
