Saturday night found me frantically trying to help my Miata friend (Trey) pull his 1.8 engine with a screwed oil pump and re-install the 1.6 that came in it in time for the autox Sunday. We finally called it quits around 2:30am after I managed to completely knock my knuckle off on the flywheel teeth while installing the clutch. So I offered him a position as my co-driver for the day. At first, I kicked myselft and thought it would be like watching my girlfriend get raped...but that slutty bitch <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> just kept asking for more...it was actually quite enjoyable seeing it in action at the hands of a pretty capable driver. Of course, being used to ABS he managed to give me a couple of nice flat spots, but that's of little concern...need to get new tires pretty soon anyway. On his third run, I seriously thought he was gonna beat me in my own car--he was already ahead by 0.4 s after the second run (53.9 vs. 54.3)--he was on his way to a mid 52 s run when he locked 'em up and plowed right through the last gate...I rejoiced :biggrin:. His 4th and last run, he got a bit out of shape and went OC. But my car survived and wanted more, and now it was time for my 3rd and 4th runs. I cut 2 s to get 52.3 and then another .3 to get 52 flat as I powerslid/drifted through the timing lights for the last time:biggrin:...which was enough to take 1st place in Open Tire after pax!
There was actually another S13 there...but he was a newb and got last in Street Tire. And I didn't get a chance to talk to him.
There were also a pair of seriously fast M3s there.....yummy!<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
And a slightly frustrated WRX driver did a 4 wheel burnout!:o I really hope somebody got a pic of that.
On another and slightly related note, NoProblem Raceway (http://www.noproblemraceway.com/) around Baton Rouge, LA is holding open track days this month on the 10th and 24th. I'll be in D.C. next weekend, but depending on my tire situation and time/money constraints, I'm gonna try to make it to the one on the 24th. (hey matic, tell your Honda buddy to come on out <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>).
ok...I'll shutup now <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
