Time Attack, similar to autocross, but faster and less stringent classing rules.Quote:

When you outgrow that Miata you should find an RX-7.
When I was into cars decades ago, I use to have a chart with variable of altitude hp losses by less O2, air resistance relative to change in velocity by compression ratio and volume of cylinder.
Gen 3 RX7 (93 to 95) is an awesome car. Just that it is about 24-26 years old and outdated.Quote:

That is why you add a larger turbo or turbo x2Quote:

I love Laguna Seca.
I went there every year (sometimes twice) from 1975 until 1998. I moved to CO in 1999 and have not had a chance to get back for the motorcycle races. I liked the old track best.
Myself and two friends rode the track one night on a dare, after drinking Jack Daniels. This was probably 1980, '81? I made it three laps and pulled into the camping area and my two friends continued on and were stopped by track security and ejected. We got them back in about an hour later. It was great.

Total n00b move. lol TV and photos don't do it justice though as the elevation change is absurd when you're on it. Same with some of the corner banks as you almost touch a knee going around upright if you're on the inside of the corner. Good times.
