Forthcoming shenanigansYeah, that's right...I said it.
If you haven't been keeping track of our calendar, there are a few things
on the radar at this point.
-Chatt. Region SCCA autocross on 4/25
-NASA South East event at Carolina Motorsports
Park (CMP) 5/1
-Tracksunlimited event at Nashville Super Speedway 5/16
The NSS event is a definite maybe for
me. I would like to use it as a "before" test session prior to making any wheel/suspension changes on the
NSX, but if the MR2 breaks, then I'd rather not risk having both cars down at once. We shall see. Hopefully
I can swing all three before taking a break for june/july.

Crossing of AutosETR event #2 looked pretty Grim for 3-Zero.
I sucked out loud for my first three runs (i.e. the ones
that count) and was summarily PWNed. TJ, meanwhile, was stuck in 4th for his first 4 runs behind some local veterans.
However, while I could only manage to stay off the bottom of the barrel in my class, TJ dropped a bomb on his
last run and cut 2 seconds...yeah, you read that correctly: TWO SECONDS... basically a day-and-a-half in the autocross world...thus
nabbing third place.

Back in the SaddleThanks to some clutch shipping by Barney, and a little nice-weather-motivation I was able to get the NSX buttoned back
up Friday night with a new lower timing cover, a new balancer, a shield behind the new balancer (to prevent future shenanigans),
and a newly baffled oil pan. I've driven it pretty extensively the past couple of days with nary a drop of oil or
whiff of smoke. Hopefully this will only lead to even more extensive driving as the summer carries on.
I need to find a couple of track days so I can figure this thing out and get a baseline for any fiddling I do down the road.
