Is there an entry cap per class?

[Tom Maycock]

Nope.

We had 80+ SRFs a few years back.

41 Spec Miata entries as of today.

And at least 11 are 1.6L. Interesting.

And at least 11 are 1.6L. Interesting.

I hope it's mores interesting than I suspect it will be. You & dad should get Shawn & Tracy along with any other potential 1.6's to play together. You KNOW what happens by yourself at Road America.

A 1.6L train with a 1.8 caboose to help us up the hills, and we might do all right

You can bet your sweet ass that's what the EastStreet envelope will do with their 1.6.

Im going with intention of winning my forth sprints. Not to put a 1.6 on pole or podium to prove a point

No disrespect on your 4th Sprints.

The Self Proclaimed Expert never said anything about the EastStreet 1.6 being on the pole.

On the other "proove a point", let's pretend I'm from Missouri, the Show Me State.

Crap, IIRC last year I wasn't allowed to talk 1.6 before the Sprints or Runoffs. My how things change.

This is the kinder and gentler Mazdaracers.com, unless it is !6 videos in a row.

It's Missouri? I thought you were from Mars?

The 1.6 deal and you and Slattery is an easy one to figure..

If Buras wins, there will be some reason why... Neither of you will ever come clean with "hey, I was wrong", never happen. And the debate will continue
If Buras does anything short of win, even a second, You will be right in your minds... While no one will agree with you and the debate will continue for years

I think 99% of the forum would agree to the above two lines

However, if Buras tells me he drove well, the car was good and he just couldn't hang. I will freely tell you on this forum, "you were right, A properly built and driven 1.6 does not compete well at Road America"

So let's just see what happens, as I stated above, I plan on beating him, and I hope it isn't close at the end So you may just get your wish

Careful Kyle, your using selective reading. I posted "pretend I'm from Missouri. Remember Missouri & Tennessee are neighbors. As a matter that song could very well be a Memphis Tennessee city song. Then the "COOL GUY" will tell all he lives outside the city.

Let's start with your last statement. What you call "your wish" has never been said by me.

I agree, let's see what happens.

As with many posts by 99% on this forum I could care less what they post or say. Some of the post are nothing more than a I do learn from some posts. As a side, if the site starts a "Divers Only" thread as had been when Daniels owned the site, I be gone.

Buras short of win & or Buras win, I told YOU (IIYRC) two years ago what I stated would be acceptable for a 1.6 at Road America (P1, P2, P3) to me to honor an apology to you. If you don't have selective memory you will remember the side conversation. AND if a 1.6 places P1, P2 or P3 within the side conversation limits you will receive the apology at the podium or in the OPM paddock with everone around.

I believe Pat would do the same. He's not nearly what you tend to make him out to be.

No dought Buras can hustle a car & if the car is drago preped WE ALL know nothing is missed. < That's more than you will acknowledge of Loshak in a Dewhurst preped car for the Farm without a drago motor.

Do you promise? Let me call Caesar

Never happen and I believe he may be worse than you, can't believe I said that out loud.. very bitter guy, at least on the forums. In person, just like you, pretty good guy

No doubt Buras can hustle a car & if the car is drago prepped WE ALL know nothing is missed.

If the car wins and has no problems it is Drago Prepped, if he doesn't it is OPM prepped We put an engine in that car and tuned it a little over a year ago, hasn't been touched since, Tom is keeping it up, not me.

In regards to Loshak.. He is no better than any top Sm driver, I don't see any of us "fearing " him if he moved to Sm any more or less than the other top guys we race week in and week out. I only know about the quality of your car from what you have told me. It could be the best Sm ever built, but I have never seen it and it has never proven to be a top SM on the track. That says nothing positive or negative about your build. As anal as you are, I imagine it is done pretty well. Old people have little to do other than pay attention to details.

[Bench Racer]

Do you promise? Let me call Caesar

Yes!!!

Please do it.

Guess you memory is not mature enough to remember.

In person, just like you, pretty good guy

Thank you. As I've told you in the past, some people don't present/write well.

If the car wins and has no problems it is Drago Prepped, if he doesn't it is OPM prepped We put an engine in that car and tuned it a little over a year ago, hasn't been touched since, Tom is keeping it up, not me.

When I was a working fella/leed engineer on projects I got so tired of other folks on a project making excuses for not meeting project goals I cut the word "excuse" out of my personal dictionary. Each person there after that used an excuse for for not meeting project goals was aked to find the meaning of excuse in my personal dictionary. They never came around a second time with an excuse.

In regards to Loshak..

Please honor yourself by not getting into a second communication about Loshak's skills because when you piss into the wind you know what happens.

[Andrew Charbonneau]

dont forget the ssbs anything can happen pick your way threw the mess 1.6 could win with three tires

I forgot about that.. remember 09 Andrew? Crazy race!

That white SS Miata car passes in the carousel jsut like Niki.

That isn't no SS miata, that was Andrew.. That was a wake up call, I realized it was on then

[Bench Racer]

You are 100% correct, I am sorry, that was Andrew that did the Niki pass. I'm practicing the "I'm sorry/I was wrong"
just in case. I could have said I was 50% correct because that was a Niki pass.

[Danny Steyn]

Couple of things...

• Great video of the 2009 race JD. Nice pass by Andrew. AC is good at these outside moves, passed me twice on the outside at Road America in the 2011 Runoffs
• On the subject of Parity which has already raised its head, even though Stefan Tisseront has never been to RA before, the way he and his car were running at VIR this year, I expect that we will see the first of the NC cars really competing up front in a serious national race. Stefan can drive and he has a strong car, but no RA experience, so it will be interesting to see how he does.

We could visit history:

even though Steyn has never been to RA before, the way he and his car were running in the SouthEast this year, I expect that we will see the first of the OPM cars really competing up front in a serious national race. Steyn can drive and he has a strong car, but no RA experience, so it will be interesting to see how he does.

Steyn wins the 2010 June Sprints while at Road Amereica for his first time.

I was truely impressed being it was you first time at Road America, great job Danny.
