Dana - i think this was for the autocross on May 30th.

This are not my auction, they are being sold by Sparco and are a discontinued style. I thought it's a good deal and that someone in VMSC might be interested.
Take a look, the starting bid is only $300 for the pair and shipping is around $160.

Turns out I'm a Porsche 911!

You have a classic style, but you're up-to-date with the latest technology. You're ambitious, competitive, and you love to win. Performance, precision, and prestige - you're one of the elite,and you know it.

umm...V8 miata project car

my fiance wasn't excited about having 4 cars in our driveway. so i'll concentrate on the miata i already have.

i certainly don't want the county showing up telling me to hide any inoperable vehicles Tongue

Thank you for your responses - Looks like I won't need to try this. The seller decided not to sell this car, but to turn it into a project car for himself.

whoa you are fast cory!

the current owner does not have the title and from what I understand never did. they bought the car at auction earlier this year with no title.

thank you for the info - grant
(and yes it is another miata)

Has anyone had experience getting a title for a vehicle that doesn't have one?
I want to find out how difficult it may be here in VA before I commit to buying this car or start jumping through the DMV's hoops.

Any help is apprciated.

Thanks, Grant

Hi Eric, welcome to VMSC!
You may want to consider the Falken Azenis RT615's or have a dedicated race set of wheels/tires with some DOT R-Compound tires, like Hankook Ventus.

Just my 2 cents - Grant

My DVR only recorded half of the season opener last week, but I swear I saw Courtney C. in the final group Shocked

I shouldn't be too suprised - he's a great driver.
Does anyone know if it is him?
I believe the epsiode airs again tonight at 8pm.

Can anyone recommend a good body shop in the Richmond area that is reasonably priced?

Looks like the only thing keeping you from being stock would be the wheels. Can anyone confirm that?

Is this for the rally or is there a secret autocross?

Here is a '99 for sale in Richmond, I have seen it several times and it's very nice:

A mob of Russian religious fanatics torched a Dodge Viper because the license plate had "666" on it!

Bye bye $85k!

i wish i had known that was going on :cry:

I wouldn't think it'd be a problem to show up & drive on Sunday.

When will registration be opening for the March 25th event?

I keep getting an (unexpected) error when I go to the MyAutoEvents site. Is everyone experiencing this or just me?
Thanks, G

Now its back up and running. It seems like 30% of the time, I end up with an error.

I think I'll be dropping some hints about getting a Gtech for christmas this year.

John - Can you post a link to one of your in-car videos with Gtech data?

Thanks guys, it's good to know the pros and cons before jumping into a purchase.

Adrian, the ebayer said that "some other software" does the mapping.

edit -> Turns out the software is Slip-Angle (free-ware)

Anyone in the club (or the club itself) have one of these?
There is one on ebay for $100 with software that will map the course for you! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=270097249471
It would be great if the club bought one and members could rent it for events.

And what happened to the speed/radar gun? Is that still around? (How fast are the Chenerys really?)

Thanks, Grant

I would guess two weeks before each event....
Can anyone confirm that?

#40 not there, sorry just can't come out and play in the rain today Sad

Have the heats been set-up yet. I mean does anyone have a rough idea as to when each class will be running?

thanks,
