Another couple of cars from Saturday, Miata:



and a Z:

Video from Sacramento Enduro



Motion sickness is all I can say , I really wished for this to be over after 3 laps. I won my class with a pitiful time, only because I was the only entrant. Still it was nice to get a Bill Fleig memorial trophy, I remember him being superfast from Sac autoxes in the 90's.




Anyway, this is what 5 laps looks like.



Here's an gtech screenshot from a 2 lap run the previous day:




This shows two runs overlayed on top of one another, allowing analysis of driving.

AX-Analyst supreimposes the GTech data onto race video, which is really cool. Unfortunately it doesn't run properly on my 64 bit Vista Ultimate system....

Mounted the Toyo's


Had a busy lunchtime yesterday - bought a set of mint condition 14x6 wheels from a '99 from CL, then mounted up the R888's at Americas Tire. Will probably try them out at the Enduro in Stockton.

Here's what they look like after six minutes of autox and 300 miles

Body roll in stock Miata R

This is how the car rolled with a stock Miata R front sway bar (prior to 11/7/08). Hopefully it looks better now that I have the RB installed.















This is before installing the RB sway bar (i.e. before 11/7). Hopefully someone takes some photos so I can see how things change






























Here's some video of other Miata runs at Marina. The video is shaky because the sun kept washing out the LCD viewfinder.

And here's the start of another Miata run:
