    Sorry to disappoint NCGM, but I was busy for most of today:



    We ran the Chumpcar 24hr Classic @VIR this weekend and finished 4th overall.

    The car survived pretty well apart from two wheels that shattered at the bead from wheel to wheel contact. We have no idea how, but the wheels held air well enough and retained enough structural integrity to survive until stopping fit our pit strategy. I'll post wheel pictures later, but here's the car in impound.

    Hey Pyro. You do it! I hope to be there with you in the next few years. Noir is getting the build time now. And wanted to stress test her on the mid-long haul 40 trip to RDU and back before the Fla. run next April. You know how it is with the gearing and revs. at 70 on a stock engine and driveline. It's 21 years old.

    But the new LS diff.( re-bushed ) is here and , hopefully, I get the forged insides before the run to Palozza. Then Noir gets boost. She will not be Chump legal. But you run more than that.

    Good to hear man. I'm dd'ing a '97 Civic HX, so that's really nice. It's given me a lot of freedom to work on the Miata, I can take my time now.

    Who's going to Cars and Coffee Morrisville this Saturday. Me and some friends will be there, it would be great to go for a drive afterwards. I'll lead and plow the deer out of the way.

    Anyone interested in this? It's usually a good time even though there are no right turns.

    I have loaner helmets I can bring.
