Edit: There 'is' a 32 second run by the Miata, in the Time-Only section, but for some reason it is 4th place...
That's due to PAX. It's a handicap system depending on how fast the car theoretically is. And CSP miatas are fast.

Ahh, I see. Well here is the video of my final run. You can clearly hear him say "John's in 37.941, car #13 (me)", then He announces you going balls out and hitting 5 cones behind me, LOL Edit: Ha, you can hear me laughing after he announces it :P

Hey, they decided to leave it at "at least four".

If you want it corrected, you can post the video in the results thread on the azsolo forums. Just keep in mind, there's no trophy for doing well in T.O.s (despite how often I wish there was)

LOL! Well I will post it, if only because I have pretty good evidence and might as well get it corrected. It's too bad time only runs aren't done 'before' your recorded times... Would give everyone a chance to get used to the track and get their best times in last; even in instances where there's no rain.

That's the challenge of autocross, being as fast as possible on a course you've never driven before in as little as three laps. It really rewards strong driving fundamentals.

I've been talking to this girl at work lately, and asked her if she drove a manual. She said "I've never owned an automatic"

I'd probably just rather fix it myself with you guys on Sunday. Plan on being there about 10ish if that's ok.

I met my wife at the phone booth at Portland International raceway. She took a victory lap in a friend's Alfa Romeo after he won his race. She was hooked on trying racing herself. I sold her, her first race car. It was lowered & flared Datsun 510. She and a girlfriend raced it through their novice program, a couple of race seasons including the Portland six hour enduro. We got married and shared several race cars for the next 18 years. She was voted female driver of the year by the other 500 drivers in the North West after winning a championship in a VW rabbit. We have been married for 34 years and counting. Common interests sure doesn't hurt.

Just another reason to go to the next event :P

Edit: Interestingly, they show my fastest time-only as 38.5, but I have it on video with them saying 37.9
You can ask T&S to check the records (on the azsolo forum), autox goes strickly of what was recorded, but if it was recorded incorrectly, it stands.

The results page Brent linked to said to email Jeff Williams, so I sent one over to him. No worries if it can't be fixed

Right, that's what I meant, if you had drained all of it or just part of it (like it's usually recommended with AT).

Yup, I drained it all, the fluid change is pretty easy to do.
