I'm sticking with the Nikki. But, I did remove the beehive and swap in a 2 gen FMOC. I have not had a chance to show this to Ray yet. I hope he doesn't reduce the 12A points for my car.

Thanks for the feedback on the venting issue. I am planning to pick up a PCV valve next time I get to the auto parts store.

Nice work Mike, you just got post number 12,000!

The really cool thing about 12A's is you can mutate them all kinds of ways and they keep running reasonably well. Just not what the Mazda engineers intended.

Hey Brett do you still have that OGTA sign?

No idea what I was thinking, but that was supposed to say "I'll take the Mitty OVER DGRR". I wonder what the car corral arrangement will be.

Probably be a corral for mazdas up by the GRM tents. Otherwise the area where I
usually camp turns into a mini-rx7 corral at times. I think we had around 7 or 8 cars
last year parked there at one time.

Ray, Holly, Gene, Kristi, Jeremy and Mike know where its at. Same place, same time this year.

Yeah, I am looking forward to a Mazda car corral. I'm sure the Miatas will be well represented, I hope the rotary crowd gets a little love.

We have lots of time, but we should think about where we want to camp. The place Tim had last year was nice. Convenient to everything and great section of track. I am planning on camping this year. Yeah, I know it is hard to justify with a nice bed right down the road. But, with Mazda being the sponsor I may have to pull out all the stops.

Sounds like a plan Tim, "Same place, same time this year"

Can you post a Google Map of that, indicating exactly which curve at Road Atlanta you are talking about, for the uninitiated?

I meant to say same time "next" year

If I bring the brew, you guys had better camp because you won't be able to
walk out of there much less drive

Your Home Brew and not having to drive home Saturday night is reason #4 on my list of reasons to camp out Tim.

The Movie is #1. We are going to watch Grand Prix, right?



So exactly where on this map is the camp site anyway? Can you mark it with an "X" wheel?

I just sent Kristy an email that she should run Zoom-Fest in conjunction with the Mitty this year. Seems like a great idea for a transition year for the event.

Lets all talk her into it

Should be a good Mitty! I like that Mitty/ZoomFest idea Billy. I can think of some really good promotional posters.

I'm gonna' go faster on the parade lap this time.

Merry Christmas Dudes! We have a White One out here in Jefferson, first snow on Christmas since the late 1800's, which was before I was born. Anybody else get any snow?

Here's my driveway at 8:30 am Sunday morning, and the snow is still coming down:

I took this Saturday afternoon when it had only been snowing for a few hours. The 'vert still has a good inch of snow on the top and hood, though

We got a couple of inches of snow in L'ville. The 7 was tucked away in the garage. I made a my children park in the driveway.

Random thing of the day.

Working hard, reading a Motortrend article about the Cosmo. It mentioned how it was featured in the Japanese TV show 'Ultraman'.

Poking around on another website (why am I at work today?), I see Amazon has the full Ultraman DVD collection for $4.49.
