    As Lawton said in the other thread, Registration is open. Who is in?

    Andy Bettencourt
    09 ITA - Miata - Group 7

    And paying attention to the supps, we all knew this was on for this year but it's in there:

    "<span style="color:#0000ff">All drivers will be required to have a Medical Information tag attached to their helmet. These will be available at Tech."

    My list:

    - Go to VIR for a three-day NASA weekend, shake all the cobwebs off and get back in the groove.
    - Show up at NHIS test day to verify track setup.
    - Run the first NE race of the year at NHIS against all you rat b******ds.

    Looks like a tranny reinstall - noticed a fine crack in the rear tail shaft of the tranny that holds the drive shaft on the stocker. A tiny bit of fluid tipped me off- the crack was on the top of the housing at 12:00 - couldn&#39;t see it but could feel it. I think of the Jensen Healey thread and the damage done to that car. Wonder what the damage would be at 170 mph if the drive shaft busted loose? Not good. Glad I spotted it. Nice thing is that the stocker has all the state of the art safety components and does have a driveshaft retainer.

    The Fiero is really shaping up into a nice car. The motor pulls well and even though I haven&#39;t been to the dyno it feels pretty racey compared to before. Did some autocross testing with it yesterday before we got the snow and it is reall getting dialed in. It is just a cool car. I don&#39;t like the exhaust on it and regretfully will drop more cashola for that. Very close to gutting it for the cage.

    If anybody does plan on building a car the most fun way I&#39;ve now discovered is to keep it streetworthy while you do everything else first. I&#39;ve been able to drive it in my neck of the woods and its really nice to see how the upgrades feel. Last car I built I couldn&#39;t hope to get away with a drive on the street. Another reason why the exhaust will be one of the last things also - but it does have a really sweet set of custom built headers on it.

    Who got the blizzard today? Nasty in Jersey.

    Fiero makes for a great doughnut mobile and is light enough to pull out of snowbanks with a snowmobile. :snow_cool: Great for horrifying wife and sister in-law too!

    I&#39;d modify that, in my case with, "Great for testing girlfriend, and future (or not, if test fails), sister in law too"....

    If you can get her to take a snowboard and get pulled by the snowmobile with a waterski rope she&#39;s a keeper - I told both of &#39;em that I needed to test each (seperately or together ) to determine if they were both "fully optimized" but that was refused.

    Where is the "club racing" link on the ner.org website (I can&#39;t find it and I know I saw it before)? I am trying to look at registration info for the April Scool... I am trying to convince a friend to run the school but need the $$$ info.

    Raymond; below the "email lists" "classifieds" etc are the links to club racing, rally, etc. Once you click on "club racing" go to "event information" and you&#39;ll see the link to "register for events online".

    later,
