I have no idea why this is posting this way, but it is making me unhappy.

Im still not really sure how this works.

I'm glad I've got a real Nardi...

Seen on FB dawg.

pass the mic

Is it bonder?

I don't think so, but I'm not certain.

Goats...

How can it not be: filthy beard, trucker hat, seedy audience and a goat.

False! This still does not explain midgets.

You know, Kasich balanced the federal budget so well that we had a surplus...

Retarded people want him out of the Governors seat because he's trying to do the same thing with the state budget. ------- idiots. They're so stupid that they voted en masse against killing public unions...

Huh.

What's interesting is that I drive right by that place (the Craftsmanship Museum) every day on my way to work.

It's in a really weird part of town, basically an office / industrial park that was built a few years ago by Grubb & Ellis and is still almost totally vacant.


https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327865567

I can't imagine that they get a lot of visitors. It's nowhere near anything touristy.

I've always wondered what they had in there. Never bothered to stop.

I deem this post inconclusive.

Are you GOING to stop now?

The cat is still in the box.

You sure, mr Schroedinger?

Idiocracy.. It's happening.

Yeah. Everybody knows that the fuel tank on a Porsche 911 is in the front.

They love us and they are sticking a hose in our behind?


I feel violated...

Here is a link to one streaming video in better quality:

I was miserably slow this weekend but started picking apart the track on my last session. Now that I have data and I'm learning how to use it, I could have been a lot faster if I got the logger working on Saturday. Instead I jacked with it aimlessly when I could not get it to record a lap. CKearns' Race Keeper is so awesome and the more I see him use it, the more I realize that piece of hardware and software could make me a lot faster, it blows away my stuff. Want want want.

Anyway, here are some of my best laps. I was tired and sloppy, my hands are too fast, I keep using too-much throttle in The Sweeper and Diamond's Edge.

Failure to embed.


Pretty cool video, makes me want to take a track day. I'm guessing you passed the corvette?

No. It's not about what you pass, it's about the lap time. I cut the first few laps off the video because traffic was bunched-up so I let half the field in front of me and I putted around the track for a lap to make some space.

Thats kinda why I asked. It looked like even though he was a bit faster then you in the straights he was slower in the turns and therefor might end up slowing you down b/c I wouldn't think that you'd be allowed to pass on corners during these events.

NASATT is open passing, within reason. Everyone wants space to run free. It's basically the F1 qualifying format. If someone is coming up behind me and I'm not on a hotlap or they flash to pass, I'll run off-line to give them space to pass on-line. Most of the time we just watch mirrors and park it on the straight aways and let each other by.

There are essentially two ways to get from BJ's Restaurant in Colton, CA to Jerry's Barber Shop in San Bernadino.

One way is to just go straight up the 215, a trip of about 11 minutes.

This is the other way:

I like your way better.

The jean shorts. The kitty shirt. The man.

That's gotta be Saxton Hale's American cousin.

It's David Buscher himself, lol.

Nice finger bling.

Makes me want to go out and buy a carbon fiber Italian racing bicycle counterfeited in China Sold on Ebay Free shipping direct from china. Not.

Dogma2012 frameset is $895

http://www.pinarello.com/eng/index_eng.php

The real Pinarello Dogma2012 frameset is $5,750

Bob

My ebay wheel wouldn't do that.


MR.BRG looks fast.

Ok, you got me. Who is David Buscher? (Google is failing me here.)


To be fair, China is a large and diverse country, with many factories run by many different people.

In the US, for instance, we have built both the Panoz Esperante and also the Chevy Chevette.

When a Chinese manufacturer wants to produce a high-quality product, they are perfectly capable of doing so. Yes, a lot of the stuff that comes out of China is utter garbage, designed to be manufactured and sold as quickly and cheaply as possible without regard for quality. (Kind of like the Chrysler K cars.) But I've also seen a lot of Chinese goods which are entirely up to par with their Japanese / European / American rivals.

There is a David Buscher who builds really fast DSMs and sells all sorts of parts for them.
But I dont really understand what that has to do with him... so idk

Are you saying the Panoz Esperante or the Chevy Chevette were counterfeits of something? I fail to see the comparison your trying to make.

Bob

Y'all are barken' up different trees.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327961078

No, I'm not speaking to the issue of counterfeiting at all.

I'm saying that the Esperante and the Chevette are examples of two products of highly different quality and performance which were both made in the same country.

Likewise, some products made in China are of high quality and yield good performance, while other products made in China are of low quality and perform badly. As a broad generalization, many people seem to think that all products made in China are of poor quality, and I am merely stating that this is not universally true.

Whether said products are copies of something else is immaterial with regard to how well they perform in a given application.

Remember in Back to the Future when Doc said "No wonder this part failed- it says Made in Japan!" At one time, the Japanese had a reputation for building derivative junk. But they evolved out of that, and by the 1980s had established a reputation for building dependable, high-quality products.

China is in the same position today that Japan was in the 1960s. In 20 or 30 years' time, Made in China will universally denote a product of superior quality, and we'll all be complaining about the crappy knockoff products coming out of some other country.

Yeah, that guy. Plus he's known far and wide for having the worst customer service in the history of ever, and for wearing Canadian Suits, jorts, and a country ass mustache.

Probably the US. Takes time to build up a manufacturing base, and we have gutted ours.

If you say so.
Hes probably sick of dealing with pissants. I can only imagine the ---- he has to deal with running a company like that.

A good friend of mine has had his bottom end, transmission, and turbo setup all built by Buscher racing and has nothing but good things to say.

reminds me of this

Over the weekend
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327976921

Saxton Hale has the best customer service known to man. If you're not 100% satisfied with his company's products, you can take it up with HIM!



That'd be my guess. It's the primary reason why I stayed out of the automotive aftermarket even after a very attractive offer came my way a couple of years ago. I'd hate dealing with all you whiny cheapskates every day as a vendor. :D

^ZOMG THATS S0 DUMB YOU'RE BANNED

Look at the top of the orange car:
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327983397

whatever man, i'm dying laughing to myself over here.

You misunderstood. Brain and Hustler HATE "because racecar" and make a huge deal over it. Several people including myself have been temp banned over it in the past. I was making fun of them, among others.

Learn the difference...


https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327983881

I fixed it, just for you, and FRT_Fun b/c he gets butthurt over stuff like that too.

EDIT: I think we've been over this, but I know the difference, I just type something out quickly and post it, forgetting about stuff like "your" vs "you're" sometimes.


https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327983985

I'm normally not a grammar or spelling nazi on web forums.... However "to, too, two, there, their, and they're" are some of the simplest parts of the English language bro. It's really not that hard.
