And a good photo
I also had the pleasure of driving my friend Bevin's suspercharged Elise on coilovers, yoko slicks, and other assorted mods. What an experience, completely different than a miata biut just as fun in a different way.
My best was 1.3 seconds off my best in Laz but the sheer driving satisfaction was terrific.

yeah, it's been a really fun project especially looking back on where it started.
A few laps from BMW club,
some highlights include:
Lap 4: single tire lockup braking into turn 10 with a nice bobble towards the wall
Lap 6: fast lap of 1:26.3 in traffic
Lap 7: 1:26.7
copious amounts of fun sliding the majority of turn 6
You'll see during the video that at one point the insulation pad that is intended to keep my right leg from burning on the trans tunnel falls off and slides under my feet, shortly thereafter one of the HVAC pipes falls of and rolls about on the passenger floorboard.

and a cool little clip captured by the photographer that was there.

I love how you blow by that Beemer in the last 20 feet of the passing zone at twice his speed, without a point by, and you give the "WTF did I do?" gesture to Benny.
And are you hitting boost cut or having spark blow out? There were a few times where you head really seemed to rock forward briefly.

Yup, 3" hose squished into the GV knock off lip's holes. It works, but probably barely. I'm running the exact setup, including 3" hose squished onto my 2.5" ducts.
Martin's fabricating and installing an air dam ala theseus, your car, cream puff, etc. Proper 3" ducts will be on either side of the radiator inlet.
I'm doing something slightly more difficult, molding some pipe onto the back of the GV lip, to clamp the hose to. Again, winter projects.

FYI I maintain a miata lap record database here: West Coast Miata Track Records and Laz's times are digging closer and closer to getting on the list 
edit: I'm considering changing the Fastest DOT-R category to Fastest 100treadwear+ DOT-R since most of the Fastest Miata spots are taken by Hoosier-shod cars, which are DOT-R technically, but it just results in a double-post with the same car/driver taking both of those spots. Fastest 100TW+ would open a spot up for guys on NT-01, RC-1, etc. and leave Fastest Miata open for those on Hoosiers...
Is Laz running SM6 or NT01?
