How About A MR2 & Miata Forum For Our Left Hand Drive Members...?
 

Just a thought. :p

We could start knuckle-draggers forum where all of the tea-baggers could agree with each other that everything is awful. Probably could invite the ditto-heads too.

Sounds like a great idea!:D

Nah too gay. Unless they are pink Miata. Then I know just who to moderate it :)

Ever talk to Thor anymore?

Its been a couple of years. Really miss the big lug. Hope he is doing ok.

My MR2 won E Stock at our local event yesterday. I was a second and a half ahead of my buddy Tom, also in an MR2! My wife came out and drove too- we had a blast and she picked up six seconds first run to fourth! Trying to get her hooked so when I have to spend a grand on tires she doesn't get all mad at me.

From what I understand, racing tires don't last too long. The locals tell me that it's nothing to run through $400 worth of tires a weekend at Peckerwood's Speedway, and that's without getting sideswiped and the sidewalls cut out.

Dirt track, too.

Road Racers go through expensive tires like crazy. Too rich for my blood. I can get a season and a half out of a set of autocross tires. And the 14s for my MR2 aren't as expensive as the big ones for some of the Corvettes and such. Still, $800 is a hunk of change. But if you think about it as cost per run it's not too bad.

I've got five vehicles and five trailers. 34 tires total. I run Hankooks, about all I can afford. They're not bad, hold up as well as the average Goodyear. Ain't Michelin by a long shot.

Neighbor has a Vette. He was telling me what things cost for it. And I thought a boat was expensive.

Put a set of Goodyear triple-treads on Florence's Impala, with the alignment it ran close to $1000 but she is more than worth it.

First event of the Summer Series yesterday. My MR2 won E Stock by a pretty good margin. My best drive ever in fact. My wife came out to play again and she did quite well for her experience.

On the off chance anyone wants to follow my autocross exploits, you can see the results page here:

If you look at indexed results you can see how I did relative to all the drivers entered in the event. Yesterday was a great run for me. 24th out of 166 drivers. There are several National Champions in my region, so I'm really happy with that. Not sure if I'll be able to drive that well consistently, but nice to get a good run in the books at the first event.

Lulu the librarian ? lol

Did you ever post a pic of your car ?

Pic of my second run yesterday- Denise is riding along:
