Mazdaspeed Miata Buttonwillow CW13 12-22-24 w/SpeedVentures
Here is some footage from Session 2 at Buttonwillow this past weekend. I ended up taking off 2 seconds from my last visit with a 2:06.74 according to the AIM2 albeit, not captured here because GoPro battery finally bricked. Picked up a Hero13 Black so I shouldn't be having these issues ever again 😂
The car remains mostly unchanged which unfortunately means I still had to combat boost creeping/ECU fuel cut, leaving me only using 60-65% throttle feathering in 4-6th gear. That being said, the car absolutely was handling like a dream on the RC-1s and alignment by Dr. E at GummyGrip LV. I couldn't be happier with that aspect.
This track event was the final straw that broke the camel's back. I am going to install my MS3pro so I can do trackdays below 2000' elevation. Running tracks in AZ had very poor DA which allowed me to push 100% without having boost creep/fuel cut. But running here at 272' above sea level is just proof that I need to go the Megasquirt route and have the power delivery that I truly deserve. I feel that I can get another 4-5 seconds just from installing the ECU at the same power levels.

Mazdaspeed Miata AutoX 12-1-24 LVRSCCA Round 10
Переглядів 39Місяць тому
Here is my fastest clean run of a 63.995 landing me 9th of 116 overall and 1st in class. I coned a 62.843 on my last run unfortunately, but it is way it is. On this run, I pushed the hardest thru the finish, but slowed a bit too much going into the Chicago box. I am really under prepared for SSM (power and tire). Going forward to prep for next season, I am going to step up to a more appropriate...

Finally got back in the seat to AutoX after a 2 year hiatus. Here is my 2nd fastest run of the day with a 42.888 (fastest/last = 42.847) It was good enough for 5th out of 89 participants and 1st of 4 in SSM class. I forgot to record my last run unfortunately, but from this, I can see 3 costly errors here that I know could have gotten me into the low 42s. Hindsight only makes us better at our fo...

One of my laps from INDE. First time out at a track in over 2 years and my first time running CW ever. Not my fastest time (GoPro died mid session). New front aero made by rgr_engineering using their Splitter and Spats. Front grip was greatly improved which changed the balance of the car to a more neutral to oversteer feeling. I was using new tires (Maxxis RC-1s) fresh out the box as well and I...

Posting this video because I rarely get decent footage of the car from the outside. Thank you Julen for the steady hands filming this. . . Oh the suspension is so soft and plush. 🤣

Best runs from Comps and Time onlys. Managed to place 6th/7th overall out of 67 respectively. The BFG R1-S finally woke up. They just needed some good heat. I was starting to lose hope in the new tires, but I'm glad they did well. The grip is amazing and they are pretty forgiving. I cant wait to tap into their higher levels of performance and further develope myself as a driver.

Round #1 of the 2020 season. Amb temp was 65-72°F. Best Comp time run was a 50.349, but didn't get it on vid due to an SD card read error. Placed 15 out of 86 In this video are two Time Only runs landing me 8 out of 60 competitors. - Running new BFG R1-S tires in a 225/45R15 over the Rivals. Spent the better part of the day scrubbing them and getting them up to temp. Hopefully the wake up more ...

Outstanding trackday running with Desert Street Cars. I'll definitely run with them in the future. I really wanted to get into the 2:01s, but I couldn't find it in myself. I am however, very satisfied with how the car did. There were no boost cutting issues this time due to fixing a vacuum source leak to the Wastegate and picking up a new manual boost controller. Still running on the old Toyo R...

I survived my first Buttonwillow HPDE, which is more than I can say for a few others (F ) . I have to say, after the first two sessions, I was getting pretty frustrated dealing with all the traffic with a 2:17, I felt like a pile of shit. Thankfully, with the coaching and positive reinforcement from Julen , I was able to finally put a series of clean laps together and get a down to a 2:08.488. ...

New to the car. Recently installed the Delrin/Bronze bearing bushing kit from SADfab. This kit truly transformed the car again. The car is so lightning quick and responsive. It literally took all my mental focus just to keep up with how quick it can change direction. Grip was improved and the car rotates phenomenally. It's much more stable and predictable in sweepers as well. This is my Hero la...

This was a really fun course overall and fairly challenging. I even DNF'd my first scratch time in A group. This was my best comp time run coming in at a 45.476. The Rivals are starting to fall off, but still pretty grippy. To be expected after 90 runs, 1 track event, and 1.5 yrs old. I might be missing the Sept event to take the car down. Need to church up the control arm bushings with a new s...

First AutoX since getting back from overseas. Did much better than I thought I would. No changes to the car. Running in BSP now. Here's best run of the day from the morning competition runs. Pulled off this 36.893 which should put me around 6th overall. This was an incredibly fast, tricky and fun course.

Here's my footage from the AZBR Autocross this past weekend. Fighting and finding grip on the sweepers really tested my patience on this one. Was only able to improve a little in the afternoon due to tire temps getting too warm. Placed 20th of 97 in competition.

My last event of the year and won't have any new content until June-ish next year. I will he out of country for awhile. Glad I was able to spend my last autox with the Las Vegas region and all my friends up there. I had a blast and felt right at home again. My best runs from this past Sunday. Morning (63.377) Afternoon (62.327). Placed 3rd of 77 in raw times and 1st of 5 in SSM. Running 225 Riv...
