Renegade Miata Event 2

It’s so good to be back to my home club! This Sunday we had our 2nd event from Renegade Miata. The course was a full course, with 7 work stations this time surprisingly. Like most of Rob MacAlpine’s courses, the course was quick with many tricks. It featured spots where you could pick up a lot of speed, but if you went too fast, the exit would hurt your time greatly.
I got to co-drive with my good friend James due to his car having some problems, so we got to really test my new strut bars and some different settings in our runs. In raw time, I came in 1st place in their “Other Mazda’s” class, while in Pax and overall I came second. Close but there is also room for improvement for this coming weekend. The final results of all the runners is here on Renegade’s site.

All pictures are here, thanks to Oleg for the camera and Becka for taking them!

New Wheels - Enkei RPF1

Ask any of my friends and they will tell you with a good laugh," What does Marc want to change the most on the car?" and they would immediately answer "His wheels". Since the day I purchased my car, I've been tossing back and forth wheels that I want to put on the car. Finally, I came to the conclusion for both good looks, light weight, and aggressive offset... The Enkei RPF1.I got the wheels in 18x9 +35 in F1 Silver. They only weigh in at 17lb, which is a huge difference from the stock wheels of 23lb! Big ups to my sponsor sleepermodz.com for helping me out with this purchase for a great price. Not much to say other then I'm very happy. Full gallery of pictures here, thanks to Oleg. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
