This is my first proper trackday in my Miata. Music City Mustang Club at Nashville Superspeedway. I was really happy with the car, it's a lot more fun than the various FWD cars i've owned. I really need a torsen and some power though!

In this video i'm following a friend's evo for a lap.

The car that eventually passes me in this video flashed their headlights (just before I wave back) at the beginning of the video. I didn't feel that they could make a clean pass before the braking zone, and, well, watch the video:

Fun times! Doesn't look like the best Miata course though.

There were a couple forced induction miatas in the advanced group that were keeping up with 911s on race tires. I just need to get some power. :)

I guess they might have expected me to be really slow in the infield there.

Sounds like fun. Eventually I'll actually finish a project and have something to race.
