Ha, touche! But I wouldn't think someone with no track experience would really know what to do with a $30k miata.

Does this mean you're moving up to an enclosed trailer and abandoning your Trailex? If so, I'm sure I can help you out with that problem!

Oh boy(oh). Now look what I started. Thanks for all the advice everyone. This sport wouldn't be anywhere near as fun without you guys to get advice from and banter with :lol:

Yes. That's the winter plan. Actually I'm hoping to transfer it into my balls. That's where I need the enlargement for racing :lol: Actually my plan is to bulk up for the first Karting weight-in next year then shed the weight. :twisted:

Just be sure you don't do something that would really bump you out of a class that Cayman's are competitive in. Read the rules carefully and feel PM me if you need any detailed info.

Thanks Scott and yes. I'd like to prep it for H.

Yea. The steel frame, windows and window motor I'm sure are 15+ additional lbs/door. I'm keeping the windows (for now). :lol:

No. Manual, 2007 (pre PDK). I'd rather have fun with my feet anyway!

I plan on doing that towards the end of this year or early next. Maybe hobiecat (Jim B) can join me. I know he's interested in transitioning to racing. He's was one of the best in the karting league (even if he was at weight disadvantaged).

Thanks Greg :)

Sorry Rick. Not quite yet. Trailex is great though. Can't imagine wanting anything else right now. Haven't you not found one yet. Wow, I'm now even more thankful that you located mine for me ;) I'm going to owe you quite a few beers.

Slippery slope. If/when you go enclosed, then the tow vehicle becomes too small.
