Who spun in front of you? Didn't see that '04 yellow out there.
The would be a great Mazda commercial shot.

yea, the yellow 04 didn't go out. he stopped by and was talking to this other guy, but left afterwards. he said he hasn't driven a car since 1977!!!
the silver 04 spun in front.

that was me spinning, my first time in an s on the track, had the car only 4,000 miles and less than 3 months and it was raining cats and dogs, coming out of a miata, i have lots to learn, but as the day went on, i did not completely spin, i never left the track in to the dirt and i had the spin thing licked at the end of my last session. it was me all over, and not the car...of course i earned the bozo award along with lots of other rear drivers...i was cocky and i learned about that too....great learning experience, i will do it again..i have run with this group before with my miata and i hope to track in the dry soon...really heavy rain that day, you had to be a real carnut to do it...look at the folks who drove one session or none and went home! and by 2pm there were 1/4 of the cars left!

By 5 o'clock, I was ready for a steak and some ice-cream
I have to give a lot of credit to the non-ABS, non-TCS people out there. KSTER (and others) in the Miatas. Being in his car, in the rain, as a passenger, when the brakes lock after a +100 straight, you thank Honda for ABS.
As for those cheaters with TCS...
