Connecticut Autocross and Rally Team-Aug-2009
4 Comments | Posted by Guest Author in Autocross
A “track day” (with time trial and relay race) by Connecticut Autocross and Rally Team (CART) at Pocono North on August 2009. Great event. Watch for my spin at about 1:30 in the video (a car spun in front of me). Most of the video is from my rear-facing camera (a “Flip” sold state camcorder). The car is my bone-stock ‘00 Miata daily driver (with top down all day….even during the heavier rains). I also own an AH Sprite vintage racer and I just sold my Ford Escort NASA racer (to fund another race car project). My regular web page is www.npmccabe.org

Time: 42.95 sec. First time at an auto cross. Did pretty well considering I only have about 110-115whp and same on torque. Original engine with 271581 miles on it. Just intake, headers and exhaust. Except for a couple of civics everyone had more HP than I did. The fastest cars of the day were running between 38 – 41 sec. Driving was difficult with the stock steering (3.2 lock to lock) and lack of power. Also my tach was not working.
I’ll post more about the exhaust project soon. But first a little treat. My first autocross! I have my maniflow insalled too! You can hear it in this segment nicely.
Tracking the Spec* Miata at the Streets of Willow Springs. May 7th, 2009. It was a private Live Sockets-organized event. Check out the badass editing and stuff haha, it’s my first time actually “editing” a video. Lame. It was fun passing faster cars, but I only got in a few clean laps with no traffic. It’s been forever since I was on Streets (The Miata’s never seen Willow actually), and had to do a few laps to remember the track and the line. Can’t wait to start doing Miata Challenge or some …
Auburn's plain white unassuming 2002 car springs a 7th place )5th place at the time) autocross lap. First lap on cold tires! (Temps in the 30s that day) Check out the final few turns where some cones are hurt but still standing. …
Ride shotgun as I compete with my SVT focus at a Porsche Club of America Autocross event. I did failry well that day…beat a lot of faster cars, I think I placed near the top ten out of about 40 cars. If you haven’t tried autocross you should, this is what it looks like froma driver perspective, lots of fun!
