I have
I'm still awaiting my roll-bar mount but I doubt I'll receive it before the event.
So, I'm just going to mount it to the top of the windshield. I'm going to try to take datalogs too.
Maybe I should tune rich for flames?

Yeah I have yet to run at the Brooksville events, but from what I hear of the other guys getting into 3rd gear sounds like it may be more suited for me. I had to stay in 3rd the whole time at that last event to get a decent time. Power range of the MSM turbo, as most know, is just.. dafuq?
How they managed to make such a slow spooling small turbo I dunno.. and inefficient as well.. must be holes in the blades... or housing.

SPC is always a 2nd gear course for me (6speed, but still n/a). At Brooksville I always use 3rd, downshift for the turnaround and then back into 3rd on the way back down the runway. Loren bounced my car off the rev-limiter in 3rd at a PCA event at Brooksville a few months back . Tampa Bay Downs occasonally requires 3rd, depends on course design.

Haha, yeah Loren tends to be able to push a car to its brink.
Never went to a Tampa Bay Downs event, FAST host those?
Well, I went to the Monday Miata Surf Shack meet and I though I'm pretty close to this "Patterson Rd" that I've heard so much about.
So, I decided since I was in that area tonight that I'd go check it out after I left the Miata meet
Wasn't disappoint.
My brakes were so faded at the end.
Sorry, cellphone video.

YES, so much yes.
Update:
Still waiting on 3" pipe for exhaust.
I want to hit up "Tail of the Gecko" That's east of the Tampa area.
I'll bring my GoPro then though. Still waiting on my rollbar mount too :/
Side note,
With all the 2jz Miatas popping up. I'm question what I'm doing with my life.
