Congrats! Will the car be staying local and used with COM by its new owner?

There is an instruction tab on the excel tool. Email should work. It is rules@comscc.org

Re: FS: NB Miata with rear damage - Bring a trailer

Bummer to see the car this way. I remember how clean it was.
Hopefully off to a good home to live on a race track again some day.

Re: 2021 T50 suspension rules question

I think so. Maybe another way to say it is: In general If you are installing a suspension component to gain an alignment range greater than factory then you take +1 point. You don’t have to take a 2nd point for the specific item not being factory spec. I don’t think the intent is “I can change this ...

Re: 2021 T50 suspension rules question

Right but “modified suspension components to align out of factory spec” is 1 point. Ball joints are 0 point. This makes me think that ball joints that allow alignment changes are free. I think that is incorrect. On my MX5 I’ve installed an offset lower metal bushing into my spindle where the ball j...

Re: Where to buy SA helmets locally

I purchased a new helmet from HMS this year. Selection was limited but I ended up with an Aria GP-7. I planned on an HJC for price reasons. They didn’t have a HJC carbon and the models they did have were heavier than my old helmet. After trying a Aria I was surprised at the quality, it fit better an...

Re: Not a formula car, but not a sedan

Be aware that many of our tracks on the schedule have pretty strict sounds requirements. If the car is loud you might want to consider added a muffler or resonator now to enjoy your time on track without issues. We see some stock factory sports cars get flagged for sound (Camaro SS, Mustangs, etc.) ...

Re: Brake pads for heavy turds

Is there a reason you aren’t just running the spec Miata with us?
Could run it in touring or super and just a 205 Nitto last you all season for sure.
Lots of comparable cars and drivers to have fun with too.

Re: Brake pads for heavy turds

Cy, great to hear you will be back attending events. The info above pretty much covers it. I agree with the RS4, RT660, or NT01 as your best options, lap times in that order too (slow to faster). I think with only doing Saturday events it's your pick on how fast you want to go vs. risk of them weari...

Re: Hey T40, what tires are you running?

I think the BFG R1S is discontinued now, only the R1 is available and not sure it’s worth the price.

Re: Hey T40, what tires are you running?

You’ll have some options then with doing 1 day only. The RR I have not run before. They are faster than a Nitto initially but do drop off. When they do I’m not sure if they are similar to a Nitto or still better. There are other fast -2.5 to 0 point tires. Some are faster than the Nitto. AO52, Nanka...

Re: Hey T40, what tires are you running?

If you need 1 set of track tires to last the season then the Nitto is the answer. Just make sure you flip them by mid season to even out wear. I do that and have -2.8 / -2.5 camber. Still needs it. That is the tire most folks ran in T40 too, some use the RR but will cost more and cycle out quicker. ...

Re: rush race cars

How loud are these things? Track noise restrictions are getting more difficult.
These are really cool looking.
