  5. Thought I would upload some favorites from the event. Had some camera issues due to not having used my old DSLR in 12 years... big surprise. Hope you like these... had to shrink the size due to my poor data connection upload speeds. Will try again today on Day2... hope camera (&me) operate correctly LOL.

  12. I've been autocrossing an ND Miata since 2017. Moved to Hawaii during COVID and stopped autocrossing until coming back to the mainland/Phoenix. When we did the Vegas Pro on a whim last year in a borrowed STX car, we decided we might as well just build another STR ND. The car is objectively incredible. Low power, but a flat enough power curve to be good anywhere on course. Almost a year into our latest ND though, we're ready to move on to a different platform and do something new. Codriving a GTR in AS during this past weekend's tour solidified that decision. We'd been thinking of taking a plunge in the deep end of SS GT4 ownership, but also considering looking for a GTR or taking a risk on an Evora GT. I don't have an dollar amount in mind yet, but posting here to get a conversation started if anyone is interested in the car and/or parts package. Already have an ND but want to make the move to STR? I've prepped and unprepped so many of these we can talk about a full parts conversion! This is a national-level pointy-end build. I had the 2nd quickest STR run on day one of 2018 Nationals and was leading STR in 2019 on day 1 Nationals by 3 tenths in my previous ND1 STR car. Day 1 because I'm a hack on day 2 haha. The car was cobbled together right before Nationals in 2023 and didn't handle properly without testing, but has since been completely dialed in at Phoenix events. Plenty of experience with this platform. Ballpark figure with everything included is ~$35k 2023 Mazda Miata Club - ~2500 miles only Snowflake White Pearl Mica (currently wrapped in VinylFrog RubyStar - a copy of the Porsche color) Shaftworks Bilanx Competition 1-Way Shocks with Swift Springs One of One JDL 4-2-1 Revised STR-Legal Header OS-Giken/REMARK STR-designed Catback Exhaust Karcepts Front and Rear Swaybars with Front Subframe Braces Two sets of 17x9 wheels - 1 set Konig, 1 Forged Titan7 set PCI Adjustable Slider seat mount (driver only) Sparco Evo seat (No Airbag light) Guardian Design Corsa 330 Steering wheel (330mm OEM-style wheel with full oem airbag/button functionality) Ferodo DS2500 Brake Pads Supermiata/TechnaFit Stainless Steel Brake Lines Poly Rear Diff Bushings Karcepts Pro Upper Control Arm Camber Bushings (4 degrees negative front camber) All removed stock parts If you've been to recent Phoenix events, you've likely seen the car around. The wrap isn't perfect - I did it myself (first time wrapper) in the heat of August, in an open carport, rushing to prep the car for Nationals. Looks great from 10+ feet, but the bumpers are patchy. The paint is perfect underneath though, as you'd expect from a 2500 mile 2023.

  13. If anyone wishes to have a grouping of your pics please PM me with your Heat#, car# & class, brief description or pic of car so I pull your shots together. With over 3000+ clear shots I think I got everyone at least on Saturday, but I'm a bit bias to the high horsepower ones 😜

  19. Thanks to Brian for capturing the spirit of each event along with highlighting those among us - I didn't know that Jason Sudol commutes from Lake Havasu - thanks for joining us! Congrats again to the entire PASR team that worked to put on a fun and well run National Tour event, > 20 years in the making!

  21. Leslie, For our local PHX events, we do not require any numbers or class designations to be place on the cars. For national SCCA events, both a number and class are required. For those of us that run both locally and nationally, some just leave their numbers on for the local events even though they are not used. My recommendation would be to wait until you run a national event before ordering numbers.

  23. What a great event put on by the PASR & SCCA! I have put together another collection of my favorite shots, hope you enjoy them. I did not post process any of them as touching up my "out of parallel" camera 🤪 would have taken way too much time. Got asked by several why I didn't race... wish I could have, had Mohs surgery on my shoulder last week & not allowed me to wrench on my car! As I mentioned at the end of Day 1 comments: If anyone wishes to have a grouping of your pics please PM me with your Heat#, car# & class, brief description or pic of car so I pull your shots together. With over 3000+ clear shots over the two days I think I got pics of everyone, but being a CAM-T guy I'm a bit bias to the high HP 😉 Not being tech savvy it will problably take me a while to figure out how to sort & send so it may be a while... 🥺

  30. Hey Prelude, Given it will be your first time. You will select Novice under PAX and HS for Class. I believe the two modifications still fall under HS. If you are running a wider wheel that will bump you into a new class. I point this out as it's one of the most common changes people make. As for Time Only's. Those are "Fun Runs" After competing in the morning groups you will then have Groups E or F that is for getting additional runs in the day. Great for continuing to improve as a driver.

  31. There were three observers in D group. I was one of them. There wasn't an issue with observing (yes I am biased). We were down to 2 observers for about 1 mintue when we had a lost child incident but other than that it went smooth. The observers, by design, don't have a time sheet in front of them and they rotate car assignments so they wouldn't know that a driver was pulling a DNF on repeat runs. But, I will say that all DNF's were announced quite clearly over the PA and I think the announcer did that well, to my recollection. However, the speakers are set up to announce towards the grid and a lot of times announcements are made before the driver makes it past the exit gate so another speaker pointed inward toward the course and the exit lane could be very helpul. I think this is probably the best solution. Personally, I don't have my car radio on to the announcer when I'm on the track as I find it a distraction. I do agree that it would be great if someone could have gone to that driver and advised there were multiple DNF's. Maybe that driver knew, maybe not. But, there really isn't a method or time available with the current staffing at the tent to do that. The observers are busy, the announcer is doing their part to announce it (if the driver is hearing it or payng attention), and the timer is busy recording the times. If we need another person under the tent to run out and talk with a driver about their messup, that is another worker needed under the tent. The current workers don't have the available time to go talk to drivers about their mess up. I personally had a similar issue early in my "career" where I had DNF's three times in a row and didn't know where on the course I was screwing up and ran over to ask some people where. I was told and fixed it on run 4. It wasn't their responsibilty to come and tell me, or so I thought. But, that assumes a driver is aware by checking their runs on Live Timing or listening to the announcer. I was listening to the announcer and on my third DNF I got an earful from Dave Schotz over the PA who said something along the lines of "He better go find out where he is missing the course". Dave made it clear on the PA that I was screwing up and it was my responsibility to fix it. Maybe the solution is for the announcer to say something along the lines of "someone go talk to this driver, they need some help as they have three DNF's in a row" or, what Dave told me which was that I needed to figure out how to solve my problem. It was my error and I appreciate Dave making it clear on the PA that I was screwing up and it was my responsibiltiy to fix it. Another question is when do you trigger that disccussion, at two DNF's, at three DNF's, one DNF? On that day we only had four runs, I wouldn't think at 2 DNF's they should be talked to. But, at 3 DNF's, maybe that is when it needs to be announced very clearly on the PA that some consulting would be helpful and someone can intervene. The good news is I suspect that particular driver will be checking Live Timing or listening to the announcer very closly from now on. It is a good lesson to all of us. I lived a similar experience but mine was very fortunately limited to three DNF's (thank you Dave Schotz). I feel for Greg but at least it was only a lack of recorded times and not a car breakdown or a cr.sh (I dare not write the entire word).

  32. Tech form that you can fill out before the event and have ready to turn in. https://cdn.connectsites.net/user_files/scca/downloads/000/071/009/2024 National Events Tech Sheet.pdf?1707843776

  33. Mark, Friday is not a required day. It is an option to get your registration/check in, tech etc done prior to the first event day Saturday. It's also a chance to run the practice course and/or (if entered) the Evo Advantage school. National tour tech is different then local event tech so you will need to tech. I believe it is a self tech process so be prepared to fill out a piece of paper 🙂

  34. If there was a problem that the drivers were not able to see or get their times than there should have been a back up plan like get the post-its out and start handing out timing slips as the drivers were coming off course.
