Mike - great article on set-up. I would really like to get together at an event and pick your experienced brain for more tips. I could sure them.
I continue to be the only LA area guy autox'ing an NSX on a regular basis. I've been steadily closing the gap with the front runner in ASP - a well set-up vette - and the last event I came the closest yet: just under 4 seconds on a 70 second course. I missed 2nd place by just 0.2. And I'm still mostly stock but running Ecstas. New wheels and Hoosiers are on my short list this summer.
You're right about Seattle. The last Evo school here had 2 instructors from Seattle. Hurricane and Tom (forgot his last name but a nat champ) BTW, I beat both of their best times when they drove my car.
PLEASE come out to an event (see text below for the next one). I just can't stand being the only NSX out there. (Wait! Maybe that's a good thing) I have no one that know this type of car to get ideas or help from right now.
Nimbus - so sorry you missed the last one. What a great course. And there are events almost every weekend here.... if you look for them. In fact there was another 'free' autocross in the lot next to ours during our last event put on by Goodrich tires. BMW, vette, and Porsche, etc have events all the time that welcome other marques. Our next event is this weekend - again at Cal Speedway. But if you didn't sign up early you aren't going to make it into a practice day ( they usually limit practice to 80 cars). Look here: www.solo2.com under events. You should also watch the message board there. But Sunday is open to all. There're more events on Aug 2nd, 9th and 10th. No lack of popularity here but this isn't a decide-at-the-last-minute sport in this area. WAY too many people are interested. Only the serious get in.
The one good thing about being the only NSX here in SoPac is that I get to claim the title of FASTEST autox NSX. But the season is only half over............ ;-)
