that is surprising about the Miata. i loved reading your experience with the two cars. it sounded exactly like you were talking about horses :). after all we are talking horse power here comparatively. nice write up though. glad it was a safe excursion both times.
Both of these deeds were done on I5 in light traffic. And honestly, it wasn’t nearly as fun as racing a Formula Vee on a track. I *might* have seen 100mph braking for T1 at Thunderhill, but I could push that car pretty close to its limit the whole time I was in the cockpit.
Man, I wish I could afford to keep racing. I had to let my comp license expire this year. :(
