Wish I could!! I am waiting on the dumbest thing for the MX!! Mazda is taking forever to get me some bellhousing bolts that brafasco can't get me! After that all I need to do is put in the balljoint bolts, pour in the tranny fluid and see if she runs!

Won't be making this one, but you can expect me there for the next one for SURE!!

Man I loved it! I got a basic setup for my tire pressure, had 47psi up front and 25 in the rears, and the rear loved to kick out. I've never pulled it off in the Mx-3 before so i had no idea what and when to expect it, so it kicked out and basically got perpendicilar to the course, and with my hands flarring and my windshield wipers goings (accidentally hit the lever while flarring my hands) pulled it back. After that, I was able to pretty much get it to do it on demand, and it improved my times. My best run of the way was 49.098 seconds, the best time was in 43-and-something second, so I think I faird fairly well. I was happy to break into the 40's. One of my later runs, I went quick through this tight chicane and slide sideways to start the long left turn, but I got my front wheels loose and i did a burnout like a 1/3 of that straight, you could see the blue tire smoke behind me. Man, it's such a rush, I loved it! Even the girl friend, she sat out for the first run, but joined as my passenger for the other 5 I did, and she loved it too. I hightly suggest trying this at least twice, once to get the hang of it, and a second time to be comfortable and let loose.
