Miotta out doing what it was built for. Autobahn Country club
On short notice, I attended an event this last Sunday. It was thrown by Autobarn Mazda/MOCA/Mazda and held at Autobahn Country club on the North course. It was by far and away the highest caliber of instructors I've ever had the pleasure of driving with. MX5 cup champs/Skip Barber instructors etc... seriously amazing talents. Kept pushing all of us to trailbrake everywhere... wtf weren't my past instructors as pushy... dammit.
Anyways... Got 2 clean sessions and 1 partially* clean session. Car was a blast to drive, it beat up on Intermediate group so they bumped me to advanced for the 3rd... got fun there
I'll be reloading/cutting 2 of the videos... both are the first part of 2 sessions... sadly enough... one is too long and the majority of session 2.
Here is the 'album'

I HIGHLY recommend "Fun with hoodpins"

Only things I found to fix were... Hood.. , manifold/wg bolts went bye bye somewhere during hoodless time and melting wheel weights off.

The Miata/country club comments are kind of funny to me, my parents live in a country club and my dad's my autocrossing partner. We have a pretty good collection of letters from the Homeowner's Association telling us to stop working on cars in the driveway.
I know the neighbors loved me when I was 18, outside at 6:30 AM on a tuesday, clearancing my CRX's framerail with the BFH for the swap...

Golf clubs and a backpack designed to be a cooler for food and carry 2 bottles of wine... + plates/cups/utensils . I'm just sophisticated
It actually ripped the hinge at the joint. So the bottom was on the car and the rest was on the hood. The Loop of metal that goes around the joint was ripped open and looking pacmanish. It then nicely wrapped itself upside down over the A piller on the passenger side, mostly off the side of the car and stayed there

Awesome vids!
