Maybe Doug wants to go double-or-nothing?!

I'm from Ohio so double or nothing means Steve has offered me 2 Secretary Hamiltons (damn your correctness John) against my original wiper challenge/tip. I gave Steve a tight rack but he's never seen me run the table with a loose rack

I'm definitely IN. Just remember that since we are a "family friendly" association we never drink whisky, due Rx or gamble at events. To me this is a "sure thing" so it's not gambling.

However, if one were to be impressed and "tip" a competitor by placing a "Secretary" under their right wiper that might be considered a personal challenge to be dealt with appropriately with a 2 some. Additional "secretaries" could be considered a 3 or 4 some?

Just sayin'. I have a plan for the 27th involving Les "one of the current car whores next to Steve and Brian" that could end up being a lot of fun in a "4 way". Bring lots of GW's to make it rain at the dance off.

The Mayor

The Mayor can have a chance to chase his secretary again, but any other suitors chasin' me can just bring the sweet talk - that's all I'm interested in!

Doug, I'm down for a three-way. Bring it!

I get a little queasy when the Mayor starts proposing three-ways. But if he's handing out cash to everyone who beats him, I'll re-class into S0...that's better than a T-shirt!

No no. Steve and I had a friendly "motivational wager" involving a wiper (no payday). He won this time but at least I didn't end up being a "Tony Sandwich" What do you call a Porshe between two Vettes? A Tony Sandwich.

You see how this works? Tony has both Steve and The Mayor forever in his mind now. Next he will get beat by a Miata. EVERY Porsche ever built is Street Prepared. Think about it. I named them the GDP class of stock. God Damned Porsches. Drilled rotors to make the windscreen pop out. Most of them have unlimited camber and coilovers from the factory. Arrrrrg.

He already got beat by a Miata. Heck, look at the results...he got beat by a Fiesta! Anyhow, fine. Who needs S0? Fear S4...we got you, we got Tony, we'll get that Steve guy, too.

This is the season of the underdogs!

Now that's what I call a challenge.
If my cars/tires were up to 30 runs on my dollar you'd been in the mix. If Dave's helmet would fit in my RX8 with the sunroof he'd have been too and we'd settle this all in the same cars.
It is what it is....let Les design the next 12 courses sans committee or me and we'd see?

Great Photos Phillip and some great videos also. Thanks

You make a very valid statement there. Nearly impossible to beat a well driven properly set up stock Miata on a narrow course.

I owned a well used stock 156k miles '99 Miata for about 9 months. Freakin' go cart of a car. Even with new 400 wear oversized Yoko tires on it the car was impossible to spin out or even make anyone look remotely bad. It became boring to autocross in stock trim hanging onto the door for left turns with at least 1g. It was also green and invisible on FL rural roads so people kept pulling out in front or trying to rear end me. It also had no room in the trunk for trips. So I sold it for a small profit.

Jamie,

I have to fess up. Ends up I was putting a bounty on Tony "the king of S0" is all. Never even close to a wager from me. He is doping on 27th and riding bikes in South France. Oh Crap. Getting stronger.

There's your problem: not enough miles on it.

I was tired of plowing so I adjusted my front sway bar from full stiff to full soft for the first time ever. My car now turns in like a dream, but the butt wants to turn too. Couple that with a damp course and my runs were rather... slippery. Here's me leaving a lot on the table in my fastest run:

After watching both this video and Jamie's I see that this was a "smooth is fast" course and not the ham fisted style I used. I normally realize this after my first run but the new tires didn't complain at at all so I kept at it.
