A miata is scary enough at 140 with perfectly good tires. Dear god, this will be in the back of my mind next time I top out my car.
Glad everyone (and the car) is alright.

Zip ties to fix it for now, going to try and find one locally. I believe we got up to 23, Vlad will have to chime in, he is the
of this operation. The needle on the gauge is pointed down, that's all I saw lol

I also went to the drag strip last night, I had some Toyo R888 in the back. I have never gone to a track and I was terrible and getting out of the hole and not missing any gears, pretty embarrassing.
My best E/T was 12.233
My best MPH was 121.164
My best 60' was 2.182
Of the 7 passes I did, I got 5 wins. Surprised a few people

Yeah, that's what I thought I had purchased. They looked like LS2 coils, and I am sure if they were going to be used in a stock application on a truck or something they would have been fine. Just gotta find some OEM ones.

Pricey IMO, more than willing to go half and half if you are interested. I am still keeping an eye out, found a set for $40 a couple hours from me but the guy won't send me pics.

Here is some media... I only did one pass on those tires, then I put the Toyo R888's on it.
And here is a video, this wasn't my best ET. Burn out at 2:40, staged at 2:52, win light at 3:13 and all my missed shifts to go along with it. That was against some Audi with a giant front mount.

Everything is fine, I did 8 passes straight and never even popped the hood. When I loaded it on the trailer I reached under and felt the diff and transmission. They were cool enough to place my hand on them. I never really launched the car that hard, and I had the rear tire pressures up.

That's a great night at a strip. I've always been worried about launching.
