Who is going to Barber???

+1 for John Williams. I plan on getting him to help with the shake down and set up on my new car when it's finished.
 
Tristan, let me know if you ever want to borrow my Traqmate. I've got a battery pack for it. You could probably get Bowie to drive your car for some beer. He doesn't even like the good stuff. :)

Hey,you beat me. I was in the gray RX7 and felt the same way after the Pro IT race. But then had loads of fun in the IT race on both days. Was my first time at that track, first race this year, and first time in that car. The Pro IT race conditions were pretty bad, mainly due to terrible fogging of the windshield. I couldn't see more than 20ft in front of the car and couldn't see the turns at all. Kept thinking of pulling in but pushed on and tried to stay out of the way.
 
I donno about that Bowie guy. He has an over dog Miata and he is not crushing everyone. Can't be the car .... LOL! :D
 
Speaking of the ISC Miatas, I don't know if anyone noticed that both ISC Miatas got beat by an IT7 car on Sunday. In fact, the IT7 car (driven by Ned Freeston) won the ITR/S/A/7 race overall! Yes, the field was light because of the rain, but still...., he beat John Carter and Van Steenburg himself. Maybe I could have done something similar, but my wipers quit on the first lap. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.)

BTW, whenever Ned does something like this, Mike always asks how he can do it with his "POS" car. I ought to take offense, since I built the car, but I need to remind Mike that POS includes an ISC engine and struts.:D
 
Very impressive. As "loose" as the first gen RX7s appear in the dry, that is pretty damn awesome in the wet.

Although didn't Michaeljake Gulickmacher win a few races in the wet in ITA in his car?
 
Hi Tristen. I think you need to get the ECU set up first. It should make more torque off the corner than it does. When I caught back up to the field after my terrible start, your car looked very sable to me. I had more bad luck with my car. The by-pass pipe that comes out of the back thermostat housing fell out going in to turn five on the last lap. My apologies to Charles Hines in the ITS Miata I slid into as the water came out. So I got a little hot on the engine. I will have it back in time for the HSR race at Hutchinson Island in Oct.
