The S should be set to go for track, and all I have to do is pack up for the track.

It's going to be a 16 hours drive to Arkansas tomorrow so I'm excited.
Sorry you won't be there, Ron. Nice that you'll be able to do the track day on the 30th now though

Single worst driving effort I can remember on my part today....horrendous. Spun 3 runs away and lost it going down the final slalom on my last attempt. Afternoon really warmed up for you guys. The black RX7 was almost 2 seconds faster than the morning (all 3 of the drivers are about equal).

On a happy note....not a single mechanical issue today!

Did better than me, when I pulled up about to do my run the guys working the corners would step even further away from the track! LOL

( That was me in the white S2000)

First time ever doing anything like that so i like to think i wasn't TOO bad ...almost every run got a second faster though. I'm learning

Mercedes autoX was fun. Miata are just easy car to drive. FTD was 49.9 (Porsche Cayman on V710s). I managed a 50.7 (5th overall raw time, not sure yet about PAX Index). Not bad for a new car with OEM wheels/tires (which completely suck BTW) and no alignment yet. Nice day but COLD wind.


Here is some video of a run:
