speedracer Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 I have signed up for the June event. I have also made an appointment to adjust the suspension on my Miata and see if I can find a little more power. Link to post
speedracer Posted May 21 Author Report Share Posted May 21 I predict a rare cold front in late June the will drop the hig temps into the mid sixties. Link to post
lavatoad Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 I love the optimism! I plan to sign up soon. Getting the eyesore out of storage this weekend to make sure it doesn't need anything major. Link to post
speedracer Posted May 22 Author Report Share Posted May 22 I look forward to seeing the eyesore back in action . Link to post
speedracer Posted May 24 Author Report Share Posted May 24 We are getting a cold front today in houston and the low is )0!for the next few days. Link to post
lavatoad Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Car is in good shape. Replacing rear pads, and sorted a shifting linkage issue what was causing intermittent rubbing with the drive shaft. Now I am trying to source a local replacement trunk to see if I can add some downforce... Link to post
speedracer Posted May 25 Author Report Share Posted May 25 You must bring balance to the force. Link to post
speedracer Posted May 26 Author Report Share Posted May 26 My car is back from the shop . My timing has been adjusted. My suspension has been adjusted. I am going to put another sticker on the car. I hope these things help me improve. Link to post
lavatoad Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 Haha nice. I'm signed up. Already cleaned up a few maintenance items, and the car is ready. Ordered a wing last week, hoping it arrives in time. Link to post
speedracer Posted May 30 Author Report Share Posted May 30 Hopefully your wing will come in so you can fly through the corners. Link to post
speedracer Posted May 31 Author Report Share Posted May 31 We will be going ccw. I need to continue to watch the Caper vid ccw. Very inspirational. Link to post
lavatoad Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 I saw, I need more practice going CCW, so looking forward to it. I also saw sign ups are pretty light. I know the timing and tempatures can be problematic. See what sign ups look like closer to the event. Link to post
speedracer Posted June 3 Author Report Share Posted June 3 I checked the forecast. Low of 80 high of 94 with a 25%!chance of rain. My previous expectation of a cold front may have been off. I expect folks are waiting to see about the rain before they sign up. Link to post
speedracer Posted June 10 Author Report Share Posted June 10 New forecast is 79 low 84 high cloudy with light rain. So I am hearing it is going to be in the 70,s Link to post
speedracer Posted June 15 Author Report Share Posted June 15 Slight revision. High of 102 with 50% chance of rain. Link to post
lavatoad Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 No dodging the heat. Water and shade Link to post
speedracer Posted June 20 Author Report Share Posted June 20 New update. Saturday 104. Sunday 105. Link to post
speedracer Posted June 20 Author Report Share Posted June 20 We will be able to tell who is truly committed because they will turn off the ac to get that little bit of extra horsepower. Link to post
speedracer Posted June 20 Author Report Share Posted June 20 I do not have an ac so I am fully committed. Link to post
bigjae1976 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I see 100 and 101. It's going to be f'ing brutal. Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if I got the monkeypox at this point. Link to post
Matt93SE Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Kids are going to be karting in Denton this weekend. supposed to be 104 up there. it was 98 last weekend while we were using a local race for practice, and it was pretty awful. I need to spend more time outside to stay used to the heat. Why do we do this to ourselves? (because it's fun, that's why!) bigjae1976 1 Link to post
speedracer Posted June 23 Author Report Share Posted June 23 Perhaps we are addicted to fun. Link to post
