Really, this photo needs more smoke, steam and sadness. 
Our Miata left the track early during this weekend’s ChumpCar RVA Graphics endurance race at Daytona International Speedway. Tail between our legs, after not even 10 laps we crawled to the pits in a cloud of steam, oil and despair. What exactly happened? We’re not 100-percent sure.
Join us on Facebook Live this Wednesday at 3 p.m. Eastern as we’ll start tearing things apart. Did we simply blow a head gasket or was real damage done? Together let’s figure it out.

The best way to discover problems in a motor is to run it wide open under full load for almost 100% of every lap. Or shift it into second instead of fourth when you panic brake too late diving into the infield :)

That's definitely sad.

that does deviate from the design intent, yes.

That's what I thought.
Any chance you can postpone the start until 4PM? I have a better chance of getting home in time to join. No chance at 3PM.
