Completely stock (except wheels) NA Miata goes racing! I spent 4 months rebuilding this Miata to running and driving condition and finally got to take it to Motorsport Ranch for an SCCA Track Night.
I didn’t have time to change the tires to something more grippy so I ran the 380TW all seasons it came with. Still ran a 1:38.29! Also spun entering the first corner of the next lap.

yeah just being able to say I took a rolling shall and brought it this far is amazing. Can’t wait to start modding it. Definetly will purchase coilovers, new control arms all around, a better radiator, and 200TW tires

Don’t lift!
Looked like your spin was classic lift-off over steer. If you transition back to the gas immediately after turn-in you can transfer weight back to the rear wheels and stabilize the car.
Pretty much all of MSR where you’re not braking you should be full throttle in a Miata, hard to tell in your video. You shouldn’t have to brake inside rattlesnake, for wagon wheel, or through ricochet (with low grip tires you might have to lift, but on anything decent you just keep your foot down).
My fastest lap was in the second session, but in the third session I had 4 laps all within a quarter second of my best lap (still 1s behind my personal best, but that was on RE71r’s and I was running RS4's yesterday).

thats possible, but I think it was mostly that I braked too late and turned too quickly into rattlesnake and it bit me.
I was on 25% throttle through rattlesnake and flat out through wagon wheel and ricochet. I think the place I’m losing the most time is through tombstone and the rest of rear complex.
