Competed in Time Trial for the first time with NASA in October 2008 and set a track record in TTF at Autobahn full course
Competed again in NASA Time Trial in June and again set TTF track record at Grattan
Decided to compete in TTE to have more cars to compete with and got 1st place at Grattan.
Competed in TTE at Blackhawk (didn't even bother with TTF despite it being allowed/qualified for TTF) and got 3rd place Saturday and 2nd place sunday despite the missed shift and scattering the motor...


STAY TUNED


Canceled a few track days to allow weekend time to install replacement engine..

Goal of going back to Autobahn South Track July 18th and 19th with NASA and run in TTE or TTF (not sure which yet).

That is awesome.

replied.. here is what the solid aluminum mounts look like for the p11 crossmember BTW (front and rear):

Nevermind

lol.. yeah, the rearview mirror vibrates like crazy... haha

I want those mounts!

Can you make more?

yes but not for a few months... he'd have to order more raw material, get cores and wait for our schedule to open up..

you can work on sourcing some cores for now if you wanted....

Its a tedious process (not like we have a CNC machine to do this).

(right now the priority is to get our p10 back on the road, do some maintenance on the miata and promised some help on a few other cars)

Sweet project! Keep the pics coming. Any chance that stripping the interior has left you with a black shift boot and bezel you'd like to sell?

IIRC, the car didn't have a shift boot left in any shape to reuse (worn out and tattered from california heat/sun I suspect)

not sure what we did with the bezel.. sorry

Real nice, what does your car weigh?
