Ooph!
80 Days!? that's it, 80 Days!!!
1923 hours if it makes you feel better!
80 days prior last year i had to do engine install, build exhaust, wire, plumb, body, paint inside and out, tires, paint wheels, find drag tires, rebuild the hood, assemble the front end, make door panels, and figure out cooling system.
this year all i have to do is pull the heads and make sure nothing is effed up.
At this point last year I hadn't bought my car. At least I'm ahead on that point.
77 days. Augh!
Almost down to 100,000 minute

Only 8 weeks to go, if I'm lucky, till I have spare time to work on the car.
Andy, you are not helping my stress level.

Hope my reply to Andy helps your stress level. I could use at least 4 more myself.

We are overbooked already. We are not complete with the first car. We have to start the next AND need to get 2 trailers ready.....send help!
Have fun this year, I'm just in the preliminary planning (still gathering ideas) stage for the $2017 Challenge.
I'm not even entering a car this year and that timer causes me stress.
In reply to eastsidemav:
I have this year's car, 2017's car, and started thinking about 2018 last night.
I posted an excellent starting point (NMNA) in the classifieds this afternoon, it's actually in MUCH better shape than my BG 323
65 days. Where's the challenge chatter?

We're talking about sharing expensive rubbers, er, drag tires, to bring the fair market cost down.
In all seriousness though I just sent out for plates on my car since I plan to drive it down this year, and I did rear brake pads last night. It even looks like the calipers are mostly working! That's progress!
2800lbs 550hp+ 125 shot nos 4.56 gear 700r4 30" Slicks should be a fast ride.

Hmmm. I need to rethink some of our part choices.
I picked everything for the engine , around that $5 cam I bought from wheels777.

You had me motivated with your previous post. I didn't need the icing....well maybe I did...I am a bit more motivated.

don't worry, the 700r4 is the weak link. if it hooks with a true 550hp on slicks, trans pops at 60' beam
Let the smack talk begin.
We are bringing a virtually stock '94 Miata R (it has a FM front sway bar, but a full interior). To anyone who finishes behind us - "I'm kind of a little bit disappointed in you".
I'm not so good at this smack talk thing.

No matter the Miata you will have a great shot at finishing near the top of the autocross.
Don't be disappointed in people that try something a little different.
