There is an autocross event at the bank atlantic center on Dec. 11th for those who are interested. I unfortunately can't go (taking too many days off work next month). If anyone would like some info just let me know.

I almost wanted to reschedule the stinking cruise!

Homestead is only like 20 to 30 min away for me. How much is it to register? Or is it a track day? In that case it is between $300 and $600 depending.

Dang! $200 unlimited runs...that actually sounds really appealing!

Did I mention I am accepting donations?

I'm too poor!

Cobb Access Port INSTALLED!

I got the base tune from Mazda Maniac installed and I've been driving it around. It is most likely me but this map feels more responsive then the stock one. Anyways, I did my first set of datalogs and I'll be doing another set this Wednesday during the next tunning session. Can't wait for more power!

My tires are on the way. I need these suckers to last for 3 more months but I dont think that will happen. I may need to get tires in December.

I'm thinking of getting the following:

Continental Extreme Contact DW (I still have 2 new tires)
or
Hankook Ventus V12's (I want these bad...great reviews for the Price)

I may end up with the Continentals though considering price (only two tires needed).

This Wednesday is my next tuning session...

I had the V12's and loved them, you won't regret buying!
Great all around tire, with good performance, quiet and smooth ride.

Believe me...I'm very tempted but I may just get the continentals since I only need to get 2 in that case I.E. about $500 installed as compared to close to $800 to $1000 installed for all new Hankook's. That's $500 I could put towards the Turbo!

I guess it depends how much money I have left after the cruise but I think I may do both but at least the autocross. GREAT FIND! I was worried no more events this year. I wont be able to register till tomorrow.

the cruise is free to attend, but i get lower mpg's than you MT guys so it takes me a tank of gas just to get there and back. then factor in the cost of breakfast (next morning) lunch twice and dinner once (if you leave the next day) and its already at a pretty decent penny. luckily ill be staying at family members house if i go so i dont have hotel expense. then a few additional bucks for anything that might come up.

the autox is only $45 for the day, at least 6 runs. bring or get food while im down there and less gas. but i dont have a car/dash cam or any way of getting pics of me driving so that sucks. also would be my first auto-x

the autox will be much cheaper being only $45 and whatever gas i use, but i want to do both equally as much. due to time constraints and a limited budget, though, i can only attend one
