Vancouver Miatas

Well, National Tour on this last weekend was educational.  Bruno placed 10th and I placed 12th out of 16 competitors.  It wasn't so surprising that we were stopmed on by the US drivers and their highly prepped cars but we should have done better relative to Jim, Bruce and Brian - car prep levels be damned. 

 

I think I get used to having 6 runs or more for figuring out the course, and when we have only 3 runs I can't get up to speed fast enough.  Oh well, I guess I need to learn to drive harder out of the gate...

 

We also had what felt like fuel starvation issues when taking hard left-hand sweepers, so I'm busy trying to work up a troubleshooting list.  The plugs are white and I had some temp. issues coming home from Washington, so we're thinking the symptoms point to fuel starvation.  I hope to get a few things diagnosed so that I can order the parts to do the repair this coming Saturday.  We have to have the car working again for the UBCSCC Team Enduro on Sunday.

 

Do cars ever stop breaking...?  Do Miatas ever have low cost parts? 

 

Man, I miss my Mustang and its parts costs...  :)
