8 new Mazda factory alignment bolts $80 new   $45   SOLD

New shorty antenna never installed     $20  SOLD

I have a used set of these  http://ecommerce.mossmotors.com/p/miata-mx-5/agx-adjustable-shocks-by-kyb/902-280-m?CategoryPath=All+Products%2F%2F%2F%2FMazda+Miata%2FMX-5%2F%2F%2F%2FUserSearch%3Dagx%2F%2F%2F%2FUserSearch1%3Dsrc_results&Question=&InitialQuestion=agx

Not sure how long they were on the car before I took them off. Factory springs included.       $150   SOLD

The car is sold.

Edit for new price

For sale is a 1997 Miata with 141,xxx miles. The car has power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, power windows, mirrors, cruise, AM/FM CD with door and headrest speakers.  It also has leather seats and a Torsen limited slip. The soft top is almost new. The car also has a hardtop with defroster.

I added the following “optional” equipment in the last year.  

Ground Control coil overs with 550 lb springs front and 350 lb springs rear. Koni yellow SA race shocks. Racing Beat 1 1/8” tubular front sway bar. Racing Beat front sway bar brace kit. The stock rear sway bar is on the car now, but I will include a Racing Beat big rear bar.  949 Racing adjustable end links front and rear.

Factory replacement brake rotors and stainless steel flexible brake lines from 949 Racing. Carbotech autocross compound brake pads front and rear.  

In the engine bay there are Mazda competition motor mounts, Racing Beat High flow intake, Racing Beat Header with a Track Dog Thermal Blanket,  and Magnecor 8mm wires. The timing is advanced to 14 degrees. Factory replacement clutch slave cylinder with stainless steel flexible lines from 949 Racing. There is a Koyo 37 mm aluminum radiator with Samco silicon hoses.

The car rides on Chapparal 15x7 wheels (they look like Minilites) and General all-season tires. There is also a set of 15x8 Bronze 6UL wheels from 949 Racing with used up Hankooks.

I also have a new set of factory alignment bolts and a shorty antenna that haven’t been installed. I have most of the stock parts I took off and a set of AGX adjustable shocks. They are also included.

I think $6500 is reasonable for everything or $5300 without the hard top and 6UL’s PM me if interested.

They should be posted on the BRR site in a day or two

The results are attached.   Thanks to all of the VMSC folks who made the trip to Verona.

Here is the first batch of pictures.

There will be more in the next day or two so stay tuned.

Sunday September 30 -  BRR - VMSC Challenge / 2012 Solo Championship Event #10
Registration / Tech: 8:00 AM - 10:15 AM
Driver's meeting (mandatory): 10:30 AM
First car off: 11:00 AM

"unless i didn't register properly..."

That's it. You registered for an SCCA weekend membership, but didn't pick a day, class, or car number. You can edit your registration, or send me an email with the info and I'll do it for you.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I don't know the name you used to register. I can fix it once I have the correct name.

I measured it with Google Maps!

Here is my video from that event.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewv-h6sMysQ&feature=g-upl
As for the long straight, I had my foot to the mat for almost 9 seconds and two gear changes before braking for the left turn at the end of the straight.

The BRR course maybe similar in spots, but our rules call for a maximum of 250 feet between course elements, so there won't be any 600 ft straights like that one.

That is correct

So that is a great question. Yes the BRR/VMSC Challenge is just Sunday. BRR also has a College Challenge where the local college car clubs and alums come out and compete. Usually the challenges are on separate weekends, but this year availability of the lot dictated that we do them both on one weekend.

Since the challenges are "an event within an event" and are scored based on the results of the autocross, each day will run, and have the look and feel of a regular BRR autocross.  Each day is a separate and distinct event. That is why anyone can run either or both days.

The lot at Verona is bigger than RIR, but smaller than VMP, and is a bit bumpy in spots. Our courses are a good mix of fast and technical sections and run in the 50 - 60 second range.

So all that said if you just want to come out for the VMSC portion on Sunday that's great. If you want to spend the weekend and autocross with us both days we would be honored to have you

Registration for Commonwealth Games / VAC July 21-22, 2012 at Virginia Tech is open

There is no "official" event hotel but places in Blacksburg are plentiful and relatively cheap

Yup, BRR is their region of record. It surprised me too when I downloaded the member list last Friday.  While most of our members are from the I-81 corridor we have some from central/eastern VA, MD, NC, PA, GA,TN, FL, and MI.

OK, so the course should be 50-ish seconds for the fastest cars with starting a car every 25 - 30 seconds. That should be enough throughput to get all the runs in with the available daylight.   That said here is how everyone can help. Where we lose the most time at these events is in the change overs between heats. When it is your heat to work, show up at the trailer early, get your assignment,  and get on station quickly. When it is your heat to run have your car ready and come to grid when you are called.

I'm looking forward to a great day tomorrow.

Justin,

VMSC.org and MyAuoEvents list this event for the VMSC-BRR Challenge. BRR already has an event (our fund raiser for the Salem Roanoke County Community Food Pantry)  at the Salem Civic Center that day. I spoke with Audie last week and we agreed to use your November 6 date at VMP for the Challenge.

Ray

Justin,

Please change my class to STX from CSP.

Thanks,

Ray
 

My regular ride isn't going to make it for Sunday so I would be proud to share a car if you want a co-driver / tire warmer. I'll pay your entry or do your work assignment as compensation. Send email to  rschumin at gmail dot com.

Thanks,

Ray
