I hear Mr. Tod Byram is taking a '94 R model Miata to the GRM $2010 Challenge.
And I believe he may actually think he can best my antique Merkur sedan. Silly boy.
Anyone see what won DSP in 2009... It's pronounced Mare Coor.
Let the trash talk begin.
In all honesty, I did see Tod's GRM Miata this weekend, and it looks pretty good.
He already has some ultra light wheels, and a Nitrous kit lined up, so it should do fairly well.
Good luck Mr. Byram!
Let me know if my brake lights are working.

I'll look for your brake lights..... when I lap you at the drags !
Mare Coor ? is that Yurapeeen for slow?
I hope 2010 is as fun as 2009 ........but a litte higher finish....with the Hunter- Killer Miata!

Hunter Killer Miata.
Hello Kitty Merkur.
How about a Team Name of:
HKM Racing?
I got the tires on the car. Thanks.
There is less than 3cm of clearance. Ouch!
I may need to break out the plazma cutter, or a sledge hammer.
Glad to hear you plan to lap me. How do you plan to triple your HP?

The trash talk contines.

How do you get an R package for under $2000? Must be a POS.

The HK miata is cleaning up better than I first thought. 150,000 miles a little lifter noise at cold start,but with some polish I think it will look as good or better than the HK civic.
now I just need more POWER to keep up with spinout

The car was quite a score for the price Tod paid.
The prior owner, a lady, would have had to pay quite a bit to get it looking and running good again.
It was smart for her to sell it.
Tod did a heck of a job cleaning up the interior.
(Pretend you parked your car with the top down under a tree for a few months. Now you have to clean it.)
It is a re-paint, but it could buff out fairly well.
I only saw one small dent, and a couple of rub troughs. No rust.
And the rear plastic window is ripped.
I know he has bad arsed Rims and NOS lined up,
so now he just needs an exhaust (and a turbo if he wants to keep up with me.
I assume FAST has an under $2010 class.

Sounds like the Cutlass convertible my dad bought to restore some, oh, over 15 years ago. Sat under a tree with a rotten top for 2 years. I'll bet it was shedding leaves driving down the road!
