Anyone want to share?

Does anyone have a Miata maintenance checklist they'd be willing to share? Tried to search the threads on the SM site but came up with nothing...... Thanks

Has anyone tried one of these? http://shop.coolshirt.com/p/pc-vest-w-4-inserts-large-xlarge/industrial-systems_phase-change-cooling?pp=12 I literally have no room on the passenger side for one of the standard Cool Shirt type coolers. Can you put these in the trunk and run long hoses? They...

Dear Powers That Be......... Please do not move ITA to a later run group because I have tickets to see Earth, Wind and Fire that night and would hate to miss a day of racing to go see them!! It figures, I have to run from one end of the state to the other (with a stop to shower and change) in...

Anyone know how we are reserving numbers this year? Usually we've received an e-mail from Rene asking for verification........

I've got a 2012 Dodge Ram that now comes with the rear coil spring instead of the leaf spring. The suspension is too soft for my liking especially when towing. I've got an open trailer so it's not like I'm towing anywhere near the max. I'm looking at the air bag systems and was wondering if...

Looks to be very full! Good news although still not a lot of students for the school. I'm wondering how many of the ITA/SM cross overs realize there was a weight increase? I think a few will be a little surprised!

Registration for the Granit State Rational is up. Patullo in GT1 with an RX7??? Denise will be there in her new Integra!! Who else?

For all those racers that I gave my 5-7 heat cycled Hoosiers to, its time to give back!! ;) Looking for some decent 225-15 Hoosiers. Would take some 205s if they are really good. Would even consider Goodyears (Andy?) Also, some fully treaded Toyos for rains. Maybe some ex SM rains? Cheap...

I have my kids (under 18) driving up to LRP for the race Saturday. Will I have any issues with them getting in without me being there? (no season minor waver on file). TIA

So what's everyone's plans for next year?? My plan is to dog Andy to every race he goes to until I beat him straight up............... :) Naaaaaaaa. Although Andy and I did talk about going down to VIR for a weekend. I've never had my ITA car there so it would be fun!! I'm looking at...

Anyone pour a concrete pad for an RV/tow vehicle? I have a dirt driveway and a new car and don't want to rust out the bottom like I have my other vehicles. Is it a DIY or bring in a pro?

So I can't believe no one started a thread yet? Not even the part about a freakin bear running down the main straight during qualifying??? That's a sight I've never seen before!! Did anyone get pictures?? How did the ITB race end up? Does anyone know the corner worker at station 10 that...

Anyone know the driving differences between a Torsen (the manufacturer, not the style) dif and a Quaife in a FWD car? I had a Torsen in it, destroyed it (it was 14 years old!!!) and can no longer get them for the Saturn. The Quaife is on a slow boat from England................ Thanks!! .

Does anyone feel comfortable loaning me an R5-SRS air bag scan tool for an E36? Willing to send deposit, pay shipping. Hate to spend the $120 they're getting on eBay to use only once......... hopefully! Thanks!! jqlawton at yahoo dot com .
