    This is all theoretical speaking anyways,

    Combine groups 2 and 8 and have 10 open wheel cars in one race

    Combine Group 1 with group 5 and have the 4 SM cars run with the IT group

    We cant put big bore with any one UNLESS we start getting real creative and upset the apple cart with SRF and SSM SM2 STL STU E F HP GTL.

    That seems to be the best way to combine them. And what do we get in return? An hour in the timeline, and a whole lot of complaints from some drivers who are now feeling persecuted against because they do or do not drive, or want to drive with Miatas. Its the reality of it, Miatas are here to stay. But lets not forget one thing, Miatas dont crash cars. Miata Drivers Crash cars.

    In theory.........

    All posts are made by a fat old guy with a crappy old car that isnt supported by a factory anymore and therefore should not be taken seriously, EVER

    We buy our tires at WalMart 205/50-15 NT-01 $148.00 last all season and go faster as they wear out........

    The overall event seems to be on the lite side. Only 37 for the test day at that pricing?

    Surprised to see these numbers. Only 4 in ITA? Competition of the Glen? Cars and/or drivers done for the year?

    I'm out due to suspension "issues" from the NHMS race that I haven't been home long enough to fix. I wish I was going to be there but this is literally the first week I've been home since then.

    I guess this means Abhi will have to either hit Jeff or Dave.

    I am going to be running the Glen on Saturday and then start at the back of the field at Thompson on Sunday. Throwing on some sticky A6 tires and going for it. Car is going in for body work and paint after this weekend.
    I doubt I will catch up to either of them, but will give it my best shot.

    BTW, Here is the video from Rob Sturgis' car. It shows your suspension "malfunction" and ensuing spin at the 9min 45 second mark. You really got Bob Demers' attention there.
    7min 05 seconds is where we were bouncing off each other.

    Hmmmm. Maybe it won't be such a challenge catching up to me. Will depend upon who I can pester and keep up with in the field, such as Stephen. Unlike you, my plan is NOT to bring the car to the body shop. Just got through with that. May start back there with you. No fresh As though.

    At LRP, I used sticker As. One heat cycle and they got destroyed. Towards the end, it sure made the car slide even after I took some slower laps hoping to cool them off. Maybe they have one more cycle on them left, but two tires are questionable. Just food for thought Abhi.
