The PAVEMENT thread: Cars, Racing, Drives, Speed...

[Cascadia]

I just wrote a long report and hit submit and then it was gone. I don't feel like writing it again. I left from Orem, went down I15, down hwy 6, up hwy 191, across 40, and down 189 to my house. Had fun. Just about 200 miles on the dot.

I took the 32 Pontiac in for an alignment a few weeks ago .Using the dolly was a noisy adventure .
Then once home I took it for a drive around the neighborhood and out on the main road for a bit at 40mph (no windshield, lights, plates , sooooo illegal) . It drove nice and straight.

Cool thread idea! My first passion is racing and luckily I've been able to be involved in it for a living. This is the car we ran last year in the Grand-Am Rolex series. I just sold it to a guy who is now running it in World Challenge this year. I took this photo right after stripping the wrap off of it, so the carbon still has some splotchy adhesive marks.

And this is it with the wrap on during the 2012 Daytona 24hr race.

I also have a pretty sweet Grand National that I'll be putting up for sale if anyone is interested.

Let's see some pics of that grand national!

Man Steve, you are making me want a little roadster again. I've always wanted to build a factory five, and while I'm not really a miata guy I will admit I've been looking really closely at the Solstice GXP also.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I'm still loving my miata. The convertible aspect is awesome in the evening. And driving is fun again. I say go for it Curt! I believe the solstice competes against the miata in solo2. It'd be fun to have similarly classed cars (though mine won't be stock for long).

Here it is. Its an 87 and in pretty awesome shape. No surprise though considering that it only has 42k miles on it.
I'll probably post it up for sale this week, so if anyone knows someone interested in something like this let me know. I'd hook you up with a finders fee.

 

[Skylinerider]

Beautiful car! One of my favorites for sure.

That is a beauty!! I may know of two people that could be interested in it. PM me the price and a contact number and I'll forward it over to them?

 

[Rot Box]

Oh man!!!! Those Grand Nationals are one of my favorites as well. What a beauty :bow:

I am not really a car guy, I prefer trucks, hopefully my next project will be something like this!

that is the ULTIMATE sleeper!

 

[sixstringsteve]

the wife and I took a road trip to Yellowstone this past weekend. We got between 33 and 35 MPG. Not too shabby! I'll post the video up in a bit once it's done.

 

[Stephen]

Yellowstone? Weak sauce. Take that Miata to Chicago for two weeks. Then you can say you've been on a road trip.

 

[sixstringsteve]

WOW, Chicago is quite a haul! I'm impressed. Although I must say that the Miata is one of the most comfortable cars I've driven in.

My wife and I went to Maine and back, does that count?
