A compilation of my shenanigans Saturday at Darlington auto-crossing the Miata. Photographs taken by Brad Baughman at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
My fastest run ended up being a 41.426 which I think I achieved on my fourth run, less than a one second away from first while on crappy Nitto NeoGens compared to Brian’s newish Dunlop ZII Star Spcs.
Here’s Brian’s run for comparison.
Noticeably, I do shift into 2nd gear slower than him but for some reason I fear I’m going to grind a gear if I try to be any more aggressive with it...

Looks fun! Your Miata is one of only two that I’ve ridden in, and it’s by far more exciting than the other one was. That said, the other one just took me half a mile home from school, while you took me up and down the Tail of the Dragon... so it’s probably not a fair comparison.

If you’re coming to this year’s mountain run, then hop in Big Kyle’s Miata and he’ll show you have a properly set-up Miata can do when you put money into performance/reviving a Fireturd instead of cosmetics like I do.

Will do! At least assuming I can make it. I already requested time off and such, but we’ll see.
The Powershift in Steve's '12 Ford Focus killed it's TCM (under warranty!)
