Default Newbee...intro for motorheads

Hi, my name is Bill, bought a track prepped 94 NA in March of 2017, engines and drive train all stock. coilover, rollbar, race seat, stripped interior. been doing autoX'ing at Dragway 42 with ASSC, one track day at Nelson-ledges so far. Dyno at 101 rwHP. Now, I'm looking for turbo power NA! the need for speed!
my other cars...AC Cobra replica built by Backbraft Racing. powered by 347 cid, backed by T5wc trans with 3.91 diff gear ratio dyno at 395 rwHP. 08 MX5 stock, 92 Fox body 302 turbo mostly (95%) drag car...520 rwHP! my DD is a 06 speed6! So, spend most of my time fixing the fleet!

Welcome to the forum. Track driving seems to take the fun out of the other kinds.

There's lots of info here on the forum. Pics of the cars would be fun.

Welcome! If you ever need a local hand I'm in Akron, and my parents live in Wooster which is like 15-20 minutes from Dragway 42. I have yet to head out to Dragway 42 but know some other local guys that attend fairly regularly. Ohio Miata Owners and Akron Sports Car Club Forum are decent FB groups to join.

Weird, they are normally pretty good about that sort of stuff. They are actually one of the better-managed facebook groups and I have met several of the moderators in person. Do you have any photos of your Miata on facebook? They try pretty hard to verify you actually have a Miata and remove people that no longer own one.
