Where Lilacs Still Bloom: A NovelBy: Jane Kirkpatrick (author)Paperback
1 - 2 weeks availability
DescriptionOne woman, an impossible dream, and the faith it took to see it through. German immigrant and farm wife Hulda Klager possesses only an eighth-grade education-and a burning desire to create something beautiful. What begins as a hobby to create an easy-peeling apple for her pies becomes Hulda's driving purpose: a time-consuming interest in plant hybridization that puts her at odds with family and community, as she challenges the early twentieth-century expectations for a simple housewife. Through the years, seasonal floods continually threaten to erase her Woodland, Washington garden and a series of family tragedies cause even Hulda to question her focus. In a time of practicality, can one person's simple gifts of beauty make a difference? Based on the life of Hulda Klager, Where Lilacs Still Bloom is a story of triumph over an impossible dream and the power of a generous heart. "Beauty matters...it does. God gave us flowers for a reason. Flowers remind us to put away fear, to stop our rushing and running and worrying about this and that, and for a moment, have a piece of paradise right here on earth."

Build Progress
The car is slowly coming together. At this point, the front suspension is completely assembled in final form. Nylatron bushings to replace all the stock ones, 8 new ball joints, 4 new hubs, 4 new drop uprights, V2Arms, BWR rear toe links, BWR front swaybar, BWR Penske coilovers, and BOE floating rotors. The rear is mostly assembled, but I'm waiting on getting the motor and driveshafts in before bothering to attach the new uprights and hubs.
My order with BOE was completed today, and it should be shipping tomorrow. 10.5:1 built Nikosil-lined motor, Rev400TVS supercharger kit, a ClamHinge, the stage 2 tuning kit, and a bunch of supporting ancillaries. With any luck, I should be making ~330-350rwhp out of the gate, and can go up from there as needed/desired, with lots of safe room in the motor. I'm going with an E153 transmission conversion (by MonkeyWrenchRacing) and putting a Kaaz 1.5-way diff in it, and that's currently being built by KORacing in Portland. Hopefully that will also be done in a week or so, to arrive in time with the motor parts.
One of my big angsts with the car has been knowing that I need to cut the clams quite extensively to fit the larger tires. Thinking down the line to the inevitable resale value, I started looking into getting cheaper replacement clams to put on the car and cut, and put the stock clams in the attic, to be put back on whenever the car is to be sold. I found that OnRailsEngineering has deals on aftermarket clamshells for a quite decent price, and ordered a front clam which I'll feel a lot less bad about cutting up. A local Elise owner had a clam that had sustained a puncture from a loose battery bracket, who sold it to me for a distressingly reasonable price. I had a local body shop check it out and they can fix it for almost nothing, so that will be what goes on the rear half of the car. It'll still hurt quite a bit to bust out the sawsall, but a lot less than if it were the original body panels. The ORE parts won't arrive until near the end of January, which is probably around when the 10.5" wheels will be done as well, so the timing should be good.
The west coast schedule has moved up a bit this year. The San Diego events are the last 2 weeks of March, so I'm down to a hair over 3 months to get a car built, tuned, and sorted if I want to make those, with the Crow's Landing events soon after that. I'm desperately trying to get all the parts together in time to have the car running before the new year, but there's a couple straggling items that may push it into the first week of January. The build is coming together a lot faster than the Miata build did, so I'm cautiously optimistic, but things could still easily fall apart if a single critical part gets delayed, of which there are still many in the fire...
The Miata is Dead, Long Live the Elise
My last post was full of optimism for a serious attempt at a season of autocross with the car. Unfortunately, the reliability gods decided against that. Over the course of the season, pretty much everything in the engine bay caused some sort of problem. The season started with the supercharger breaking at the Crow's Landing Prosolo before I could even take any runs, then taking way too long to get fixed because, as always, vendors suck at keeping to their promises. That caused me to get it back on a Thursday night, throw it frantically into the car (the night before the Packwood Pro), where, during practice runs, the car showered its engine bay down with oil when something else failed. Later that event, the upper ball joints broke out of their press fits, requiring frantic tearing apart of the car between run groups to get them welded back in. It's just been a year of a series of unfortunate events everywhere I tried to take the car. In the end, after considering the option of towing my car out to nationals, I instead just went to nationals in Ron Bauer's DP car after almost bailing on the event altogether for the first time since I started.
This April, despite the Miata seeming to be in okay shape, I enacted phase 1 of my SSM contingency plan and picked up an Elise from New York and drove it back across the country to Seattle. The plan was to daily drive the car (I had been dailying our Forester for a while and was getting bored of that for some reason) and slowly just mod it into a fun and fast street car. I also knew that, in the end, it was probably a better platform for SSM than the Miata, and that it would likely someday take over, but I was thinking it'd be a couple years before that plan started unfolding. I was wrong.
Shortly after the SC blew up at Crow's Landing, I tentatively made the decision to move up the timetable for the Elise. The first step was that I wanted to make sure that I could actually kill two birds with one stone with the car. I wanted the true unicorn -- the daily driveable SSM car, and not just "could" daily drive, actually "want to" daily drive. So, I decided that the first thing to do would be suspension/wheels/tires for the car, so that it was in basically full SSM stiffness trim and I could try that out before committing to the full build.
While researching how I wanted to do that, an opening came up in a local performance driving school (high speed exercises + instructed lapping of Pacific Raceway) that I'd wanted my wife to take for a while. I had the perfect excuse to throw some money at the car and test it out at the same time. After talking with Fred Zust at Blackwatch Racing, we hatched a plan to quickly ship me a bunch of parts and get the car together in time for the track day. Much to my surprise, everything showed up on time and I had time to actually get the car aligned and do some shakedown on the street before the event. Needless to say, the car was a blast on the track and worked great, despite being somewhat down on power (which I later verified on the dyno as ~15% down). I daily drove the car for a couple weeks and quickly decided that I was completely fine driving the car this stiff on the street.
When the Miata had the several issues at the Packwood Pro, it was really the death knell, after I had already gone that deep into the Elise. In a local event right after nationals, I took the car out officially as the "last hurrah", and, of course, to spite me, it immediately catastrophically broke again. It made it nice and easy to take the car home, roll it into the garage, throw it on jackstands, and immediately strip every sellable part from the carcass without remorse. Since then, I have been selling off the parts at a reasonable pace on all the major Miata boards.
With money coming in from the Miata parts, at this point, I've paid for a good portion of the first phase of the build of the Elise. I hope to have everything together by the end of 2014 to have a winter/spring to work on the tune and really dial in the car to be ready for the season next year. I'll be posting more detailing the build of the car as the more interesting parts start showing up and the motor comes out. The site will soon transform to only have history of the Miata on it and instead be focused on the Elise, so keep in touch.
I took much of last year off, made some poor suspension choices, and didn't pay much attention to the car. I got my butt kicked in most events I went to, and wasn't very happy with the car or my driving. In the end, though, it gave me what I needed -- most of a year off. I flew around the country and codrove with the Woottons a few times, autocrossed a bunch of random cars, and had some fun anyway. I also noticed that, despite lots of attention to the car everywhere I posted it for sale, no one even sniffed around at a real offer, so I know that, someday when I do actually sell, parting it out is the way to go.
For this year, I'm going to make a little more of an effort again. We moved into a new house last year and didn't have a good way to deal with the towing situation, so this year my dad sold his giant trailer and I bought a tiny little trailer, perfect for a Miata. Most importantly of all, I can back the trailer, with the car on it, into my garage, and leave it there, ready for an event at any time, with the truck parked in front of it. I'm hoping that I'll find a lot more motivation to autocross when it means spending 5 minutes in the morning and 10 in the evening loading/unloading instead of 2+ hours on each side getting the truck/trailer to/from my parents'.
I decided to attack some of my root annoyances with the car as well this year. At the end of last season, I realized that my traction control system was a little flaky. While it often helped, it often cut in when it had no reason to. I spent some time debugging it at the first event this year and learned that it is, in fact, cutting fuel even with the system completely disabled -- when I bypass the unit and plug the injectors directly into the ECU, it runs perfectly. I've been working with RaceLogic the past couple weeks trying to narrow down what the problem actually is. So far, we think it's the adjuster unit, but it will require further diagnosis. Until I get that sorted out, the unit is staying fully disconnected, forcing me to learn how to modulate a gas pedal -- something I'm not very good at, apparently.
Another big annoyance was the general tune of the car. In addition to feeling like I didn't have enough power, there was always a bunch of hiccups in the tune (above and beyond the RaceLogic-induced ones). Throttle pump (tip-in) was always sketchy, leading to unpredictable power levels on corner exit. At 2012 nationals we noticed that underhood temps were crazy, and put a hole in the hood for the intake. Since then, I'd switched back to a more traditional intake, but pulling air from the driver's side headlight area. I also upgraded to Flyin Miata's big flex fuel kit, which is a pretty awesome setup, and upgraded to ID1000 injectors in preparation for E85.
Last spring, I changed from an AEM to a Hydra Nemesis for an ECU, and immediately was able to improve the drivability of the car quite a bit. However, it was still far off what I wanted/needed it to be for consistent driving. I gave the car to Kris Osheim of KO Racing early this year and he spent a few weeks road tuning it to help with drivability and low end torque. The car is an entirely different beast now -- mashing the gas at 2000 RPMs produces an instant wall of torque, and different rates of tip-in actually produce linearly proportional amounts of power. Using the flex fuel setup, I can now put anything from full pump gas to full E85 or any mix in between, and the car fires right up and makes a safe amount of power for whatever ethanol mix I'm running. The car now makes 359rwhp/279rwtq (Dynojet corrected) on E85 and 316/256 on 92. The old power numbers were falsely inflated by the previous dyno I was using -- he applied a fixed 20% correction factor, so this is actually quite a huge bump in power over the old setup.
Suspension-wise, I knew I needed to change things. In 2012 I was running 700/450 springs, and based on the math said we should be running 800s in the front, so for the 2013 season I tried just bumping to 800s. Of course, the car went from fairly well balanced to ultra-pushy. I spent the limited season trying to dial it out with shock adjustments, but for 2014 I went up to 550 rear springs and added a small rear swaybar. Two events into the season, the balance of the car is proving to be a huge improvement over last year, which makes it a lot more fun to drive.
The brakes had always been a big complaint of mine with the car -- they were a little unpredictable and, especially on concrete, you were essentially unable to bring the car into ABS. For 2013, I upgraded the fronts to Flyin Miata's little big brake kit with the 11" rotors, and went to a 1" 929 master cylinder with a dual diaphragm brake booster, which were a huge improvement. I'll likely upgrade the rears to their rear little big brake kit this season as well, but I haven't pulled the trigger on that yet. I've also changed out the rear wheel bearings and front hubs for this season, as they were starting to get some play in them noticeable as pad-knockback after hard cornering.
I'm planning on attempting to get the car out to several big events this year -- Crow's Landing, Packwood, Spring Nationals (Lincoln), and Nationals. There's still a bunch to get working on the car for real -- Eric Anderson's car proves how effective the RaceLogic can be if I can work the demons out of my system, dialing in the new suspension setup, and learning how to drive a car that can break the tires loose at will in a straight line in 2nd gear on Asphalt.
Wanna buy a fast car?
With several things going on in my life right now (not having much fun autocrossing the past few years, switching jobs, tired of being broke) I think the best move right now for me is to get rid of the car and get my life in order for a few years before trying autocross again. I was hoping that the SSM experiment would bring the fun back into autocross for me, and while it did somewhat, it still isn't enough for me to justify how much money and time I'm spending on all these out of town events. Maybe when I have enough money in the bank to not be scared anymore, and I've stopped doing so much side work that eats all my time and stress, I'll come back, but I think my best move right now is just to get my life in order.
As such, I'm putting the project up for sale as a whole right now to see if anyone bites, and if no one does, I'll start parting the car out. I have something over 45k into the project, not including tires, repair parts, a ton of misc hardware, and probably a thousand hours of labor. The car can win nationals right now as it sits with the right driver, and with a few simple mods can go even faster than that. If you're interested in individual parts, feel free to shoot me an email as well -- if there's enough interest in the parts I may just go that route even sooner. The detailed parts list is available both all over the Wiki, and also in the Expense Log.

- Comes with 15x9 6ULs with nearly new (1 pouring-wet event) H20s, and two sets of 15x10 6ULs with nearly new (one 20-run set, one 12-run set) Goodyears
I'm asking $35,000 for the car. If you're interested in either the car or a set of parts, shoot me an email (akilla at akilla.net) or call me (206-276-0433). Car is currently in Redmond, WA. Happy to ship at buyer's expense.
Nationals was an ... interesting experience this year. I originally didn't want to go, due to being broke, not terribly into the sport right now, and knowing the car wasn't ready, but was convinced by my dad and some friends to make the trip. So, out we went.
At the Pro Finale, the car wasn't handling terribly well, and was bogging miserably coming out of slow corners again. We tweaked some suspension settings and that improved the handling situation a little bit, but we couldn't figure out what was up with the bogging. So, I finished out the pro in 4th place, 1.2 out from the win overall. There were a bunch of slow digs that the car couldn't get out of its own way for, so that time was easily there, especially if I could have landed a left side run (I was only 0.3 behind the winner on the right, 0.9 on the left.) I was generally happy with the car's performance at this point. It was obviously capable of running the times, especially if I could fix the slow corner problem.
So, we spent Monday driving around the streets of Lincoln with a laptop, working on trying to smooth out the AFRs on tip-in. I fixed a bunch of stuff, which made the car feel like it drove much better, and so my dad (who didn't run the Pro) took practice runs on Tuesday, and ... after a couple runs got the same misfiring under tip-in as before. This time, I pulled data from the AIM system and saw that with each run, our intake temps were jumping by ~20 degrees, culminating in 180 degrees during our practice last (and very misfirey) run.
That seemed likely to be the problem, so we drove all over Lincoln, bought a hole saw and some tubing parts, and cut a hole in the hood right over the supercharger, put a 90 degree bend on the inlet, and popped the filter through the hood. We bought some more practice runs for Wednesday morning, spent more time on the street and really got the tip-in working pretty solidly, and then had no problems with heat or misfiring Wednesday. The filter through the hood isn't the most attractive part of the car, but it's certainly doing the job.
Thursday came and the car was awesome -- handling's still a little quirky, but better than the Pro, but after the runs, I was in 2nd, only 0.4 off Carter, with 3rd several tenths more behind me. Joy quickly turned to disgust, however. We were immediately protested by Jake Namer for an illegal splitter, which was later upheld, and gave us a 1 second penalty on all of our runs. We then lazily shaved off enough of the splitter to be a couple inches under the limit. I was disgusted enough by the whole process that I just went back to the hotel and caught up on work all night instead of walking the other course, so for Friday runs I didn't really know my way around, and coned all 3 runs. It was a long drive home, but at least by 2pm Friday we were on the road instead of having to go to the banquet, and, as such, got home at midnight Saturday night, so I got a full Sunday to unpack and unwind.
For reference, the splitter in question is pictured at the right. The green photoshopped area is the legal area of an SSM splitter (which we are almost a square foot below.) The little green penned area on the chopped off part (3/8" deep by a few inches wide) is the illegal area of the splitter, as determined by the protest committee. When Bill and I built the splitter, we measured it in my garage to be 5" from the bumper (a full inch under the max rule), but somehow since April, our mounting mechanism has bent out to bring it over 6", and hence illegal. Turns out that using sliding forks to locate the splitter isn't a great idea for autocross, since there's the maximum forward distance rule. We were hoping it would help absorb cone hits, but that turns out to be less important than staying legal. Oh well. That's autocross. Live and learn.
On the bright side, the car is very competitive, even in its primordial form right now. 0.4 off Carter is better than I ever would have hoped, and the data showed that there was a lot more time on top of that run. So, it's proof that the SSM Miata concept is viable, which was the goal of this year.
Month of Slow Progress
I haven't posted much in the last month because, well, not a lot has happened. I've been mostly just driving the car at events and playing with setup ideas while planning the next phase of the build. I've now ordered a full set of custom control arms and spindle modifications with a 1" drop from Jon Brakke. They won't be finished until after nationals, unfortunately, but that's what I get for not ordering anything until this late. He's seen the pictures of the failed EPMiata arms and couldn't believe how underbuilt they were, so it'll be interesting to see how much stronger his will (hopefully) be.
Due to my dad running over the old hardtop at Lincoln this spring, I've also ordered a new CF hardtop from Axis Power Racing before realizing that they possibly weren't legal (it's a bit of a grey area, apparently.) There's a proposal out to make them explicitly legal, which will hopefully pass, or else I'll have to use the top on a time attack car or something... I also finally picked up the FM Little Big Brake Kit which required minor clearancing of the calipers to fit on the 9" rotor with the 15x10 6ULs, but is giving quite a bit better braking between them and the SS lines I finally added to the rear. The V8Roadster Bump Steer Kit finally arrived as well, but I haven't had a chance to put them on the car yet. Hopefully in the next week or so.
In the last few events, I'd been noticing that the traction control seemed to be getting increasingly invasive, so last weekend at a practice, I tried turning the TC system completely off, and was still getting massive misfiring coming out of corners (getting on the gas early.) I tried replacing my 3 remaining Chinese Toyota knock-off coil packs with genuine Toyota ones, and, shockingly, my misfire problem disappeared, which was a welcome development. At this point, it suddenly seems like I can put a lot more power down than I thought I was able to, so it will soon be time to up the power by quite a bit. I keep finding myself floored and waiting coming out of slow corners. Even with ~220 ft/lbs at the wheels that low in the powerband, I'm getting killed out of those corners by Bob Bundy, who has more like 350 ft/lbs down there, so I think some power bumps are in order for next season.
The only major issue the car's had for a while now was last weekend, when an apparently undertorqued crank pulley bolt came loose and bent/embedded itself into the crankshaft, while simultaneously allowing the supercharger to shear off the woodruff key and spread the keyway wide open on both the crank and the pulley boss. Oops. So much for that crank. I picked up a new crank from Coop's Miata, got bearings overnighted from Flyin Miata, rebuilt the motor Thursday and Friday, threw it back in the car, and towed up to Canada for the VCMC Super Challenge this weekend.
The event went pretty well. The course was an uninspired set of 7 very tight corners, each connected by either essentially a straightaway or a 180 degree sweeper, which isn't the greatest set of elements for the car -- all the grip in the world isn't terribly useful when you still are floored for 2-4 seconds out of every slow corner. The event format was really neat, though. At the end of the event, they take the top 30 drivers on PAX, add 10 randomly drawn drivers, and everyone takes a single run. The bottom 20 PAXed times are eliminated, they change the course, and repeat. Halve two more times, then the last group of 5 run for the final finishing order. It's an interesting variation on the ProSolo challenge idea and really forces you to be both consistent and fast. I managed to finish 4th overall, which was several spots higher than I was expecting. Our current tires are up to ~50+ runs and the course was not well suited to the car in it current state, so doing this well was an unexpected surprise. I also tried some Hail Mary setup changes between Saturday and Sunday which helped a fair bit (the car was very loose Saturday.)
Looking ahead to Solo Nationals, I've organized a local test and tune for Friday, where I'll finally have my first chance all year to really mess around extensively with shock and pressure tuning. Unfortunately, with how absurdly busy I've been the last few weeks, the 2-driver reg deadline for the Pro Finale came and went without us noticing, so we're now on the waitlist. If we don't get in, we might not even bother making the journey. The idea of spending 8 days and a few thousand dollars of gas, hotels, food, and general costs for 5 minutes of racing time on an unfinished car isn't the most appealing thing in the world right now. As annoying as it would be to work toward this all year and then not go, it may be the right decision to make when the time comes. In the meantime, we'll stare at the waitlist and hope.
Packwood ProSolo
The ProSolo was an interesting weekend. The course was the most annoyingly not-fun collection of ridiculously tight offsets and stupidly slow corners that I've ever driven. I feel like, in 8 years of autocrossing, I have to have driven a less fun course than that, but none come to mind. On the upsides, I managed to squeak out a win (barely -- 0.009 seconds) and it highlighted a lot of things to focus on for the next phase of development for the car. Also, we had zero reliability issues with the car again, so I'm just waiting for something expensive to explode at this point...
One of the big obvious weaknesses this weekend was power application. I think that part of the problem with my current build is the forward weight bias (we're at about 56% front right now), which isn't leaving any weight on the rears to put power down. I've been working on a design to try out that will let me drop down to a 1.6 motor, non-intercooled, which would drop a ton of weight off the front end, and potentially give me room to ballast up the rear. In the interim, I need to explore a fuel cell so we can run less fuel without starving, allowing me to ballast up the rear a bit. I'm starting to wonder in general about just running more fuel after seeing Sam Strano, a man who is already heavily ballasted, running a full tank of fuel in his SS C6 Corvette, because the extra power application he gets out of the weight over the rear is worth the weight gain from the gas.
An unrelated huge problem this weekend was that my front splitter wasn't playing nice with the Pro light sensors. I could get the car to "stage" in a couple different places, and it was very hard to tell which one of the two places I was staged in. As a result, when runs really mattered, I had to run extremely conservative lights (7xx-8xx) just to make sure I wouldn't redlight. If I'd hit the deep stage hot spot, then I'd still redlight even waiting that long (see my first run of the challenge, for example -- 498 redlight, and I didn't even start to release the clutch until right before the GREEN light came on, so I must have been deep staged millimeters from the next sensor...) I've emailed Howard Duncan to ask how high the lights are, so I can make some "endplates" for my splitter to make sure that I hit the sensors in a reliable place at the next event. This problem made every run an unpredictable nightmare.
I also need to just learn how to launch. I cut everything from a 1.935 to mid 2.2s 60-ft times all weekend, mostly doing around 2.10ish, which is pretty terrible. On low grip asphalt, even after the course rubbers in, the car has enough torque to break the rears loose at basically any point in first gear, so it's extremely hard to find the balance between a little bit of wheelspin and way too much wheelspin. I'll hopefully learn eventually, but until then I'll be running almost STS 60 foots while I burn up expensive rubber.
Packwood National Tour
The whole month of June has been filled with rainy weekends that we didn't even bother bringing the car out to autocross in. One of the downsides to running a high power car is that, in the wet, you just get hosed on PAX. So, as little fun as I have autocrossing in the rain in general, it's also uncompetitive, so the idea of towing for 3 hours each way to get creamed in the rain is unappealing. Seattle might not have been the greatest place to build this car...
Fortunately, it gave me some time to mess around a bit with the car. I bought a 12+1 tooth crank trigger wheel from Trackspeed Engineering, and after ~20 hours of trying to make it run reliably, I gave up and switched back to the stock wheel. I don't know if there's noise on the crank hall sensor from something or if the AEM just doesn't like getting that many tooth updates, but it's off the car until I have time to spend more time debugging. I replaced both the cam and crank angle sensors with brand new ones from Mazda (they had absolutely no effect on the 12+1 wheel, incidentally,) and replaced the main relay (the relay that broke in Lincoln) while I was in there, which, interestingly, had been superceded by a much different part. We also learned that we're not allowed to run shoulder harnesses in a non-rollbar-convertible, so we pulled the 4/5 point belts and put in simple lap belts, which removed a bunch of weight from the car and made it a lot easier to get in and out as well.
After having no problem with power application in Lincoln (and even limited problems with power in Packwood,) I upsized the crank pulley (that the SC feeds off) from 120mm to 125mm, and spent a bunch more time on the dyno. We're up to 330rwhp and 258rwtq and spent a lot more time on the low RPM portion of the map. The car is now faster and has much smoother power ramp-up, so it's more drivable too, and is better at putting its power down than it used to be. I think this will be the end of my attempted power mods before 2012 Solo Nationals. It's time to work on the suspension setup and on my driving.
The 2012 Packwood National Tour arrived in a real hurry. I spent 2 weeks messing with the trigger wheel to no avail, and had to rapidly switch back to the stock wheel on the Monday night before the NT. Wednesday the car went in to get a new muffler, since we were consistently blowing 102dB at Lincoln (over the limit.) Thursday I spent 3 hours on the Dyno at Pina Motorsports, and then 6am Friday morning we pulled out from Redmond to head down to Packwood.
The practice course was the dirtiest (gravel/etc.) course I've ever driven on, but we did some rough shock tuning and the car was working really well. Ironically, both of our paddock-mates' cars broke, so we spent some time helping fix them. The rest of the weekend, the car performed perfectly (despite us driving it inadequately,) and I managed to put a 1.776 second victory on the class, running fairly consistent times. At the end of the weekend, we rolled the car onto the trailer and drove home, ready for the Pro in a few short days.
We learned that the car's fuel starving at around a third of a tank, which will require some investigation after the ProSolo. I am also sure at this point that the car will be faster with more confidence-inspiring brakes, so that will be another focus for after the ProSolo. The traction control also needs some further tweaking, and the wing really needs some string+video attention and a Gurney Flap. Time, time time...
Here's some videos of my fastest runs for the weekend (expand for 720p.) As you can tell, I'm still driving the car incredibly abruptly. It's still more than a bit of a shock, coming out of stock class. At this point, I have at least as much speed to be gained in learning to drive than will be found with further car setup...
Spring Nationals
Because of the alignment and truck issues, we, of course, had another frantic last minute prep session. We spent Monday afternoon pulling the front UCAs off to bend them more, reinstalling them, and getting the car to an alignment shop with zero notice in time for them to work on it. While some of that was in process, we had to pull the alternator off the truck and get a rebuilt alternator and install it. That evening we finally got to clean up some last minute stuff on the car and packed up the rig to head to Lincoln.
2 days of towing later, we arrived to glorious 90 degrees and humid Lincoln, NE. We spent Thursday doing practice starts to figure out how to launch the thing (which neither of us ever got any good at – my best 60ft was 2.01s.) Everything was going well, so we retired to beer.
Friday (ProSolo day 1) morning, I got 3 runs then the car sputtered and died sitting in line to take my 4th run and wouldn't restart. We pushed it off to the 2nd driver line and let it sit for a minute. We checked everything – nothing obvious was wrong, but a minute later we tried firing the car back up, and it happily did. My dad then got 2 runs in before it died in the same way for him and we retired to impound.
Very perplexed, we guessed it was a fueling issue, and I'd been worried about my fuel pump since the Packwood weekend of harness melting/shorting. So, at lunch we changed the fuel pump to the new Deutchwerks pump. I didn't get a right side run (apparently I rolled out of my one right side run, grr), so my dad got to go first. We sent him out without a hood for afternoon runs, on the off chance something was overheating, to get some more ventilation into the engine bay. He got his 4 runs in, so we hoped it was fixed and put the hood on for my runs. I got one run before it died again briefly after I departed for my second run. We again retired to impound and had an evening to consider.
Fortunately, I had noticed, when it wigged out on me, that the tach was going nuts, implying that the ECU had lost cam/crank sync (or something far more heinous, possibly.) I asked around the paddock and found two very nice competitors (Bill Schenker and Mike Heinitz) that had spare crank and cam angle sensors to loan me, and swapped them onto the car.
The next day, we decided the better part of valor was to run without the hood again (but we "replaced" the hood with a strip of tape, which is technically legal under SSM rules, stupid as that may be) and I went out for my runs. The car had no issues, and I managed to save for 3rd place, and my dad also got his 4 runs in without issue. When we tried to start the car up again after weighing it, it wouldn't start, or even show any signs of ignition signal. We towed it back to the paddock and poked around at it for a bit.
I found nothing wrong, but finally decided to try swapping the main relay out for a spare I had lying around, and the car sprung to life. That relay had likely been damaged in the wiring debacle of the Packwood weekend, but it's still a little distressing. The car seemed fine after that, so we declared victory and went for celebratory BBQ and beer.
The NT went mostly without issue. They yelled at us after the ProSolo, because apparently our exhaust was blowing 103dB consistently (limit of 100dB), so we had to attach a clamp on muffler for the tour. I had a small power burble on day 1 in the middle of my third run, but it's vaguely possible it was just fuel starvation. We made it through -- I got 3rd again, 1.4 off the win. The only day two issue was when, on the way out to grid for our day 2 heat, my dad drove the truck over the hardtop I've been using to keep the car dry/sealed overnight, which is now forcing me to come up with some new solution...
On the drive home, so far, I've ordered brand new replacement relays from Mazda and also new crank and cam angle sensors. I noticed the cam sensor and the main relay had both been superceded, and reading up on miata.net, it looks like my issues are pretty known issues, so I'm vaguely hopeful that I've discovered the cause(s) of my more major problems.
We also had a chance to play with the Hoosiers vs. Goodyears at the Prosolo, and we both agreed that the Goodyears make the car much more drivable, so for the forseable future, it looks like it's going to be a Goodyear car. They seem to be able to put down power much better, and also they don't overheat nearly as badly as the Hoosiers do, both of which are good things for an SSM car, especially at a hot site like Lincoln.
I hopefully will have time coming up to work on some of the other projects for the car: a front brakes solution, possibly moving to a permanent carbon hard top, venting the hood for real, tuning the rear wing, canards, etc. The really short summary, though, is that the car, for its first showing, when it was working, proved that a Miata can get it done in SSM (if I stopped driving like such an idiot.) So, despite all the other stresses of the weekend, it was a resounding success. I also had some more time to mess with the data system that I'm developing, and worked some of the usability kinks out, which was helpful at the events and should be even more useful as the year goes on...
Second Packwood weekend and Spring Nationals Leadups
It's been an incredibly hectic two weeks. I spent a couple days tearing into more of the electrics and found that the fuel pump wire down the driver's side of the rear harness had rubbed through to the chassis, which is probably what started everything. I ran a new thicker gauge wire and re-loomed/moved some of the harness, so it should hopefully never rub through again, and the thicker wire will be less prone to heating. I also ordered a Deutchwerks 300LPH pump due to my decreased confidence in the Walbro, intending to use it as a spare if the Walbro died. Finally, I moved the fusebox out from under the side of the engine bay into a spot near the intake with some airflow, in case it just needed some ventilation as well.
The subframe that we were told existed wasn't actually the right subframe, which we didn't discover until after close of business Thursday night. We got to wake up early Friday morning and call every parts shop in the area to find a new subframe. The only one we could get before Monday wouldn't be pulled until 5pm that night, 2 hours from home. So, we picked it up, got back home around 7:30pm, and spent the entire night swapping the subframe and front control arms. Shaikh finished up the shocks Thursday night and overnighted them so those arrived Friday morning, and when we finished with the subframe, we got to also assemble/swap the new shocks (mounting canisters, etc.) Around 11:30pm we finally finished with all the work, then spent until almost 2am doing a ride height set and string alignment. We realized the alignment wasn't going terribly well, and we couldn't get enough camber out of the front anyway, so we called it good enough for a shakedown and went to bed.
We decided that waking up in 3 hours and driving to Packwood for the morning session was out of the question, so we went down for the afternoon, which was a nice dry day, and had no major issues at all with the car. The car was pretty loose, but still drivable, and we settled into liking a RaceLogic setting of 20% slip and 5.0mph wheel differential. Sunday morning we woke up to a wet ground and ongoing rain, and we ran a very wet morning session, where we got to throw on the Hoosier Wets (225/50/15 H2Os on 15x9 6ULs) and play with the RaceLogic to figure out a wet setup, which worked out quite well. We tried 5%, which seemed pretty good, but 10% was really the sweet spot, if you had quick enough hands. The car is remarkably drivable in the wet, which is good to know. On a very representative course, I was only 0.4 behind the Hyman GT-R car in full wet trim, which is closer than I would have hoped to get. We had no issues with the car in the wet either, called it a day, and drove home.
On the tow home, the alternator on the truck let go, though, adding some more insult to the existing injury. Nothing is ever easy...

Can I start off by saying that I've always liked Moon Knight. There's just something about him that has always attracted me. Maybe it was that he wasn't one of the 'top tier' heroes in the Marvel Universe back in the 80s. He was, and still is, an underdog. Despite all that he does, it seems that he doesn't get the full recognition that he should get. How many times have we heard "Moon Knight is just a Batman clone." I've never seen it. The only thing I could really see is that one of Moon Knight's personas was a billionaire.
Moon Knight recently took some time off. After a run in with Norman Osborn and the Dark Avengers, "Marc Spector" died and Moon Knight ended up south of the border. How long can Moon Knight stay away? Now we have Moon Knight back in New York. Is this the same Moon Knight that we've seen before?
Once again, by pestering my wonderful contact at Marvel, I was able to get an early look at the new issue which is on sale tomorrow.
How many of you like Moon Knight? He's not your traditional hero. He does things his own way. Let's not forget the fact that he was a mercenary before he became a "hero." We've seen Moon Knight get really dark and edgy. Now that he's back, the question is, which Moon Knight will this be? Is he going to be the regular hero or is he going to start breaking bones and carving up people's foreheads?
I was blown away with this issue. Part of it was just the excitement over seeing Moon Knight return to New York, where he belongs. He's showing that he's on a mission and the bad guys (and Norman Osborn) better watch out. Gregg Hurwitz has done a great job in this one issue of returning Moon Knight to what he should be. In his last series, things started going downhill. Jerome Opena's art is nice to look at as well. He's given Moon Knight a new look to go with his new attitude. You might not agree with my review but let me know what you think after you read the issue.

I have my husband's mother's recipe book. She has passed, and he has 3 sisters. I want to make them a special Xmas gift. The recipes are in her handwriting, so I want to scan them and put together a book for each of them to have. His mother was the queen of scrapbooking! I thought it would be nice to do this, but don't really know where to start. After I scan the recipes, then what? I like the idea of doing it digitally. Any suggestions? I saw all the links, but which one is best for this sort of thing? Do I need to download software? How expensive will this be to pull off for 3 people? Any suggestions are welcomed.
Family recipe book as Xmas gifts.

There are a lot of handwriting fonts too, if you wanted to type them out into your book rather than scanning. There are several photo places that will print out your work (snapfish, walgreens, cvs, etc.;..)

Apple overtakes Acer for third slot in US PC market
Macs nabbed an 8.5% share of the American PC market in the second quarter of the year, which means Apple has edged Acer out of the third place slot in national rankings, according to market research firm Gartner.
Mac sales rose more than 38% to almost 1.4 million units in the 3-month period to June, making it the country's third largest PC manufacturer, behind Dell and HP.
This means Apple's share of the US PC market was up more than 2% on same time last year with the market seeing an overall 4.2% increase.
"Dell continued to be the market leader with PC shipments accounting for 31.9% of the US market in the second quarter of 2008", said a Gartner spokesperson.
"Apple's PC shipments grew 38.1 percent in the quarter. The home PC segment continued to be the strongest driver for Apple, as well as sales into the education segment."
This recent success appears to be mainly in America, as Apple did not rank in the top five manufacturers worldwide, which currently stands, top to bottom as: HP, Dell, Acer, Lenovo, Toshiba.
