You know as well as I do that 99% of org'ers don't even know where to find the autocross forum here, and that 99% of the mid-atlantic org'ers don't care about racing unless it's "drag" or "street"......I just thought some here might be interested, especially considering some of the other cars in attendance.

sorry if I'm "wasting your bandwidth"

maybe I should just post a zillionth "which intake is better" thread instead.....

My joking has struck a cord. All in jest Irish.
I think I might continue to set up my car for drag. As if this applies to your thread.
At least these are free bumps.

I've been spending too much time in the O/T forum I think...gets me all defensive these days

remember...drag and autocross setups are not mutually exclusive

Yeah, the Miata is pretty much stock. Besides, even the lightly modded Miatas with experienced drivers only usually beat me by about .5-1 second.

My best time was 35.18....Jason's was 38 something...

The cobras there were 2 of about 5 or 6 that run with CDC....They do reasonably well, but obvioiusly are better suited for road courses as they have alot more power than needed for autocrosses....
