Tube frame? No, I've seen enough that I know it's not. Miata? Eh.....sorta
"Miata-shaped".

Funny thing is, I've always wanted a TA2 car but I can't afford one. So yeah, I basically built a mini TA2 car in a Miata shell

Quick little update from last weekend. We took the car up for the day to Sonoma for a little track day action. Great group to go out with, super small car counts in all groups. I was able to run laps and laps without ever hitting traffic. Track was still a little green from all the rain and water was seeping through in some areas still.

But nevertheless lowered my best time by 2.1 seconds from when we went last year. Granted last year was the first shakedown day.

Take off A7’s from GTA finals last year, squeezed it out on the last session of the day. Once the new motor goes in I’m going to go after Scott Speeds production car record he set last year at a 1:29

Holy. So much grip, and excellent driving. WOT through T1 at 140+mph looks crazy.
