Need to hook up the rest of the AIMS system but the unit as a stand alone is great! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V08EdAcs9Ws -------------------- Shawn Sampson/Sampson Racing Communications Offical NASA Racing Communication Company NASA SM/PTE/E3 2005- 1st Place EO 25 Hour Enduro NASA 86' Mazda Rx7 (RIP) http://www.SampsonRacing.com http://www.SRCProducts.com Toll Free -866-396-7231 Gibscreen Member Region: NASA-SoCal Car #: 23 Year : 1995 Posts: 912 Status: Offline posted            Wow, that was just plain painful to watch myself toss the thing off track. haha. I could blame it on the understeer I was battling all race long, but that wouldn't be fair to the car. Great racing with you as always, Shawn. -------------------- Rob Gibson RJ Racing 2010 NASA Nationals TTE Champion 2008/2009 WERC Champion 2007 NASA SoCal SM Champion rjracing.net Weekend-Racer.com MaxxUK Member Posts: 35 Status: Offline posted            Nice racing fellas, good to see mutual respect between race drivers, and that track looks like a hoot! Odd to see a topless Miata in the US, we race topless excelusively in the UK and I do prefer it (I also race many enclosed cars). Hmm, Shawn, do they still run that 25 hr enduro? Just about to post some vids of my weekend in the UK MX5 Cup.

If you looking to get in a ride just toss up a few posts and words gets out fast. Thanks for the great post as well! -------------------- Shawn Sampson/Sampson Racing Communications Offical NASA Racing Communication Company NASA SM/PTE/E3 2005- 1st Place EO 25 Hour Enduro NASA 86' Mazda Rx7 (RIP) http://www.SampsonRacing.com http://www.SRCProducts.com Toll Free -866-396-7231 Gibscreen Member Region: NASA-SoCal Car #: 23 Year : 1995 Posts: 912 Status: Offline posted            Or you can just ask me about a ride in the 25. I still have a seat available. -------------------- Rob Gibson RJ Racing 2010 NASA Nationals TTE Champion 2008/2009 WERC Champion 2007 NASA SoCal SM Champion rjracing.net Weekend-Racer.com Funracer Member Posts: 62 Status: Offline posted         "Odd to see a topless Miata in the US, we race topless excelusively in the UK and I do prefer it" Maxx [/QB][/QUOTE] I would prefer to race sans top as well but rarely see it. I've heard it is because the car is slower on the straights due to extra drag. Why is it more accepted in the UK if this is so? Is it required per the rules? regards Printer-friendly view of this topic | Subscribe To Topic Hop To: Select a Forum:   Category: SpecMiata.com -------------------- Spec Miata Spec Miata Garage Spec Miata Rules & Competition Spec Miata Competition Tires Spec Miata Safety Spec Miata Setup Guide Spec Miata Data Acquisition NASA PTE/E3 Spec Miata to FProd SMulators Spec Miata Frequently Asked Questions Showroom Spec Miata Pro Miata Spec Miata Enduro Spec Miata Virtual Swap Meet SMTV Back Fire Announcements   Category: Spec Miata Archives -------------------- Spec Miata 2001-2009 Garage 2002-2009   Category: Sports Car Club of America -------------------- SCCA North-East SCCA South-East SCCA Great Lakes SCCA Central SCCA Mid-West SCCA South-West SCCA Rocky Mountain SCCA North Pacific SCCA San Francisco Region SCCA South Pacific   Category: National Auto Sport Association -------------------- NASA Discussion NASA Northeast NASA Southeast NASA Central NASA Midwest NASA Northwest NASA Southwest   Category: Mid Western Council -------------------- MWC Discussion
