What is everyone doing this year? I'm staying in the HS overdog with Ste'fun. But with fresher suspension. We are planning to do the THSCC season and maybe make a stop at Cherry Point and NCAC.

CSP again, with a new bottom end in the motor, minus a few accessories, like power steering, A/C, maybe some interior stuff, etc. It'll probably never be a real CSP car, but, I figure if I can why not? It'll only help for track anyway.

The Over Dawg HS tomato will have a fresh front end suspension, and new konis front and rear. Wheel bearings and sway bar bushings will be done before NCAC. Wanting to hit all the THSCC events as possible; however, I need to bring the cat man down to experience cherry point this year. Perhaps in June? :twisted:

Been auto-crossing on and OFF for a while now, yet I find myself driving more OFF than ON.

God! I feel like I've barely been around. So much travel for work.

I'll be in the miata, again. In ES, again. It's not a performance part, but I'll be getting a new top at some point, because my current top is held together with duct tape.

Bloody hell, he's alive!

CSP for Liz and I again.

Hopefully I'll find some time to put in the header and AWR motor mounts I got last summer.

I'll be battling with the rest of the C-street field to come in second place to Matt.

Mods in the off season are limited to a new set of "street" wheels that will EVENTUALLY become my STR wheels, but with no suspension yet on the car, I'd get annihilated in STR if I ran them at autocross, so I'll stay in street until I can afford the coilovers I want.

Not gonna make it to the first event, but looking forward to a full season of autocross. Trying to figure out who my codriver(s) will be.

No big changes here...watching ND STR development, for sure. Did some maintenance: valve adjustment, diff/trans fluid change on top of usual oil changes. Got a corner balance and reset the alignment as the tires were wearing faster on the outside edges than I expected. Due to my shenanigans adjusting ride height I had lost 0.8* front neg camber and 0.5*rear, so we'll see if the reset helps.

Hoping for a breakout season...fingers crossed! :thumbsup:

hummm, I've done nothing so far. I'll be picking up a set of tires from Chuck tomorrow, so at least I'll have some decent rubber to run on this year. Not much else planned for the mustang right now. As far as class, doesn't seem to be much interest to run in OF, so I'm not sure we'll I'll run. I think Jordan is out as a co-driver, but he may be running the mini this year in street. I guess I'll be back in CAM for another season...

This will be the tenth year that I'll be running the NC Miata in CS. It did it's first AutoX with 700 miles. It now has 81K. All that I have been doing is fixing stuff that's not working too well. Breaking the front sway bar loose will be the most important. The poli bushings got bound up.
