In our meeting yesterday, I mentioned I would like to attend a local 1/8 mile track in Okeechobee, Miami Sunday Feb. 17th to represent the miata community.

Y will prefer to attend Sunday, since they open all day. That way we get a chance to inspect the cars and take pictures and videos of the event. The weather is perfect now. Let me know who is down to go with me. We can all bring food and gather together. It will be a lot of fun to be there and of course to show the Miami car race fans that our roadsters are not chic cars!!!

*EDIT*
$50.00 to race. - M2-1028 Special Event Sunday Feb. 17 Domestics vs. Imports
$15.00 to watch.

What's up Jared. We missed you yesterday. He buddy, don't blame me, blame my stupid metropieceofcrap phone plan that does not have service in Homestead. I am at work today, very tired but I had a lot of fun yesterday. Jared, it was a pleasure meeting your friend, Sebastian and the other folks but I'd like to know if the computer issued was resolved with Tony's car. Find out with Sebastian what was the outcome of that.

Phil:

I don't watch sports anymore. I had no idea Super Bowl is this coming weekend. We'll do it next time. But please since you are pretty much the meeting organizer in most events, let's plan this ahead so we can all prepare to this event. 2 weeks is perfect for me.

Hyper

where is your car leaking? rear main seal?

leatherface24

lol i didnt know you had a metropieceofsh*t phone. i was actually wesanding my gv lip getting it ready for paint again lastnight. I was also trying to find out why my dash lights keep blowing on me. its not a ground in the radio. hell, i took out the whole antenna and everything! my dimmer was shot along time ago so i hard wired the lines to it and that worked temporarily but the damn things blew out again lastnight. i think maybe when i changed out all the bulbs, i put some that may be to high of wattage in. im going to geck em out on my lunch break

I told you the that those cam angle sensor seals are suck.

Take your cam angle sensor to a place named Hydraulic Sales in Miami, ask for Luis and tell him to sell you a good o-ring. That's what I did on my car to resolve this issue. This is where I did all my stainless steel lines.

leatherface24

dude, ill just go buy an oem seal from mazda, put it in, and call it a day

mouse

Let me see if my dad will come down from lakeland to race his mazda3 with Injen intake and custom exhaust. And my new intake. HAHAHAHAHA. I'm so excited. Lets do this.

Hyper

mouse, let's wait an extra week since this week is Superbowl week. But I am down to the track for sure to spank the Hondas & 350z a little bit.

leatherface24

mouse i wanna race your NC! im itching to see if the new motor can take an NC

mouse

I'm down for whatever....So the weekend of Feb. 9 and 10. Right?

mouse

We'll see.

Hyper

Let's all plan for Sunday Feb. 17th

That should give everybody interested to compete in this event about 3 weeks to complete your car, have it tune and ready for the event. What do you guys think?

mouse

I really have nothing to tune.....But thats fine with me.

Hyper

I know a couple of folks who are about a week or two behind in finishing their project cars. Another thing is that I ordered a water/methanol injection kit that is backordered. According to the Summit website, It should be delivered to me by Feb. 2nd. The reason I now prefer Feb 16 rather than Feb. 9 is because is Valentine's weekend, this shall give me enough time to prepare in advance. No EXCUSES!!!

We should all wear pink shirts for the weekend named: Chic Car.

Phil: Can you make a logo in pink color named: Chic Car. I swear, I'll put on my rear bumper.

Hyper

Mouse, I give you a helmet for you to keep. It's ugly as hell but is helmet.

mouse

I have a helmet....I've never been to a track to drag race.

Hyper

Never? Dude there is nothing like the minute or two you stand in front of big crowd with little expectations of your car, even making fun of you. Then you take off and that little sick ass roadster becomes the nightmare of the night, the car to watch. =D>

Is a feeling you will never forget.

leatherface24

yeah well it deffinatly one that im not going to have in my current miata LMAO! Been there done that with the last one

where is this place okeechobbee miami?

Hyper

Easy. If you are coming from the North, Take palmetto (826) drive south like if you are going to the Keys. Exit Okeechobee Road heading West. Keep driving in Okeechobee Road, West for like about for like about 8-10 miles. (Just drive straight until after you pass Krome ave) The track is on your right, you can't miss it.
it's called Dade-County Line or something like that. I'll try to find the website.

DPEXP

sounds good ,sign me up.

Hyper

I need to mention something.

The race fever is strong in Miami. If you go to the track, you will find a bunch of ugly beat up cars running hard. This is not Morosso guys, they don't check your car, they don't check for safety issues, none, nada. The only thing required to race in a convertible is a helmet. That's all.

With respect to cars, a lot of race shops in Miami take their cars there. If your car is fast is going to be remembered for sure, but if you are going to race and your car is a cow, I don't know. That just the way it is down here, don't take it personally.

With respect to everything else, there are a lot fast cars. But a boosted miata has a very good chance in the 1/8 track. Our cars are light and accelerate way faster than other cars, so that's the good news for the folks planning to race. This is your chance to race your car against the Hondas, Acuras, 240z, 350z and the infamous SRT-4. I hate those SRT-4s!!!!!

mouse

No 350Z's for me...I lost to one today.

deadmeat

It's not neccessarily a voltage issue.

I had the same problem one day, and it turned out that one of the filaments in the bulb was broken on one side, and causing a short-circuit and blowing out the whole fuse. Couldn't figure the damned thing out for the life of me.
