Congrats on the win, very good job driving. Your car looked like it was on rails, good job on set up too. Looks like you nailed it. On a side note... save that engine, you will likely never get another like it again... I have made the mistake of wasting the really good ones during the year and regret it now. When you get one that good, put it on ice until the big races when you will need it. Your car is very fast or Selin and Alex's car were way off?

LOL

Well, I'm pretty honest when my car is off and I don't believe mine or Selin's were. I don't even think Selin's dad touched their car before loading it for ATL so I don't think they were looking for a problem that would put both of us so far off pace of this 1.6 on the straight. Maybe this is the old Atterbury RA track record car?

Maybe you need new grease in your hubs? Remember Mid Ohio?

Haha, yeah. Maybe it's time to get a new fish scale and change grease brands.

Maybe you should come to our shop Breathless Performance and have us do your hubs, Alignment, cross weight, fish string test, put a rossini pro motor and dyno tune her for you. Also we teach the 1.6 cars to stay in the draft behind the big 99 cars and not try to go around till the last lap and not try to pass from the draft on the banking since they will not have enough power to get around. It would be like hitting a brick wall from the wind, It was tried before and the 99 just kept the lead. By the way we have been working with Selin with our dyno to help get the max hp for him. Ernie Jr and Selin use to race together in the karting days and are friends. Selin and Ernie Jr in B-Spec? Team?

Our background is racing, we support 15 plus race cars at the track in Spec Miata, ST1 and SPO Corvettes, B-Spec and ST Grand Am cars. We race NASA- FARA- SCCA-Grand AM

See you guys at the Miami Grand Prix, we will be racing the B-Spec car for Breathless Performance Racing-Joe Heck Racing- Metro Wrapz-RacePak- Hawk

LOL! It's a special grease that can only be bought at a certain shop in South Florida and run in NASA.

Atterbury's looked under powered in comparison. Maybe Double Nickels! Now that guy had an engine program. Too bad he couldn't show it for 6 months.

You're all missing it. It's the alignment and the STOCK bottom end. Drago you messed up building me a bottom end on that motor I just got.

You guys are killing me! My favorite portion of the video is from 5:50 to 6:40. Drago you suck! This whole time you claimed to be the guru of 1.6s. If I only would have known that all I had to do was bolt a Rossini head on my car, grease my bearings, and stay behind a 99 until the last lap I would have kept it; thanks for nothing. Does Danny know about this?

lol... We are having a dyno session Sat afternoon and will have all our cars here unloaded from the trailer. We plan on running the #2 car on the dyno along with a few other Miata cars. Anyone is welcome to stop by to see the dyno runs and put their car on the dyno for back to back runs for FREE. FREE dyno runs on SPEC MIATA cars. OPEN HOUSE. Come see all- nothing to hide and I will even go over setups.

I can go one step further, I will even help you adjust your fuel pressure for the best HP and TQ--FREE

We have 5 Spec Miata cars already to play with.

We will have the grill cranking with hot dogs and burgers for a good time. Ernie Jr will be there too.

Isn't the NASA FL Spec Miata leader one of your employees? Scott Argow?

He is one of the directors of Breathless Performance who has a great reputation amongst FARA-SCCA and NASA in both the HPDE and Racing side. He is a man of great honor and is un biased in his opinions.

I think maybe its just the new rules that we have that give this tremendous advantage to the 1.6?!? Will this encourage Chains to hit the track again anytime soon? I would love to know what kind of grease I should be using on the hubs, mine sure dont roll that easy? I cant come to the dyno since I am in Ohio, but any tips you could give me on grease would help.

Thats too bad. The car will be here so you can push it to see how easy it rolls. For those who doubt the 1.6 remember a 1.6 won the Nationals.

See you Sat
