Banquet is this week end ... got some great door prizes.

[aged racer]

As it happens I need a driver's door for a Spec Miata.

Maybe I'll get lucky!

[LynnCombs]

Maybe we could get one from Glen's Miata

It might not be around long. I've been shopping for a secret replacement. Once I find it, the Miata is being sold to my niece.

Good luck in your search Glen. Looking forward to seeing the "replacement" in action!!!

How about an AS Corvette

[brokenplastic]

Anyone have a scanner that can pull/erase volvo srs codes?

[Chiketkd]

How about an AS Corvette

I was thinking the same thing...

[glenthompson]

How about an AS Corvette

Too much for a 4 cyl kind of guy. My requirements are simple - under $10k, legal in Solo stock classes and racing Showroom Stock classes, under 3k lbs, class competitive, street legal, right color (no red, no yellow).

Miata?

[glenthompson]

Miata?

Right mfg, wrong model. I've been looking for a Mazda 3. It and the Mini seem to be the only HS/SSC competitive cars.

Hey, I resemble that remark

[LynnCombs]

There is a White 6-speed Mini at Staunton Nissan/Subaru... looks like Rays mini but white w/black.

[aged racer]

Glenn- get a Mazda 3. Mini's are great for auto-x, not so hot for SSC (sorry Ray). You also get Mazdaspeed's support and contingency $$.

There's been several for sale at the sccaforums.com (including the '08 Runoff's winner).

Most exceeding my $10k limit. I'd also prefer something more local so I can check it out.

Mazdaspeed support is a major reason the 3 is high on the list.

[fspmx6]

what about a mazdaspeed protege? they've still got a fair amount of mazdaspeed support and i cant imagine that they'd be that uncompetitive in ssc or auto-x. just a bit on the rare side.

[brokenplastic]

S2000, you can find AP1s for around 10k.

S2000, you can find AP1s for around 10k.

+1 An S2000 would be a nice change. Honda typically has decent contingency in solo, and possibly road racing. I did see in a GRM or SportsCar magazine not too long ago, that they were starting up a program for amateur racers that would allow them to buy OEM parts at discounted prices (similar to Mazda Motorsports).

[glenthompson]

Neither the Mazdaspeed Protege nor the S2000 is legal in SSB/SSC. S2000 goes in T2. I'm also looking for more interior room then the S2k has.

[brokenplastic]

So maybe
newer miata
cobalt ss, if you can stand the interior
integra gsr
rsx base/s
bargin bin solstice?

[aged racer]

There's a couple of MP3 Protege's floating around, but they are not as competitive as a 3. Check out Joel Lipperini's Racelabz up in Penn- think he's building a couple of Integra GSR's in the low ten's. A couple of guys in the S.E. are building Focus SVT's, which s/be another good ride (but no Mazdaspeed...).

Buy me a beer tomorrow night and I'll give you more free opinions....

Random question:

Any kind of dress code for this thing, or are jeans cool? lol

[LynnCombs]

Wear what ever you feel comfortable wearing...

[SCCA MX5]

Where is the best place to park for this? do they have a lot there?

[00GTJustin]

There's a pay lot across the street..
