O My God U Guyz Y Do I Hav 2 Hav A Rollbar For Track Dai?
 

Apparently he bought the car Thursday. Wrecked it Saturday morning at Buttonwillow. Dad and I were a corner behind him; the Rx7 who was right behind him said he came over Lost Hill, got sideways, dropped a wheel, and as soon as he dropped the wheel it hooked hard. Landed on all four corners, at least 4 flips. Driver walked away, thank god.

It'll buff out.............

Where've I seen that car before? I *think* I recognize the plate.

The plate isn't from that car. It's from his other car, which he put into a tire wall the previous week at Streets of Willow IIRC. The reason he bought this car was because his other Miata wasn't going to be ready for this event.

That whore pic is tha tits!!!!

Crazt that he survived! I seriousy can not believe that he walked away from that.....CRAZY!

I wish i lived close to a track!!!:vash:

Your car is looking very good man. That sucks for him, but your car is the tits, yo.

I was thinking the same thing

dude this guy has serius driving issues. WTF and what is whith the ricey chrome radiator showing in your pic :p

Bigger i/c?! :confused:


sorry, couln't think of anything witty about the wrecked miata....

It must have been the drag from his blingy grill yo

r comps and no rollbar? dur?

nice that he walked away. i'll make sure to fwd this to my gf.

Who allows convertibles on track w/o a bar? I thought pretty much everyone running events had adopted that rule by now.

That's one lucky dumb guy. After wrecking 2 cars in 2 weeks I hope he's banned from the track. There's no way he should have been on the track without a roll bar. I can't believe there are clubs that would allow that. I get harassed because my autopower sport isn't tall enough. Have to keep my hardtop on. I hope that scared some sense into him. Walking away from it he might not have learned his lesson though.

On your car. It looks like your turn signals are removed completely. Do you take them out for the track or do you have signals hidden somewhere?

The rollbar is covered up by the softtop, which popped up while he was cartwheeling in the air. It's just a single hoop, but he would have been dead without it. It's hard to see, but it's there.

Damn good thing he had it. Can't see with the softop mangled over it. Good to see that even single hoops like the hard bar can still save your butt. He should send pics to the manufacturer. See if he can wheedle a replacement out of them for the endorsement.

so which person loitering in the pics is the idiot?

dude with no shirt....fool.

ugly bastard.

I can't tell if he's one of the stocky build japanese or if he's mexican. I've got about that much extra padding too but I leave my shirt on in public. Not something to be proud of.

:rly:

Glad he is on the west coast and I dont have a chance at being on track with that idiot.

that mx5 is really slow now, "i said a 10 second car, i can't even drag that over the finish line"

I wonder if he'll sell me the ignition switch on the back of ignition tumbler, or his rims, or his floor mats :)

Lack of skill had nothing to do with driving that car off the track... it's simply that God hates red Miatas.

Looks like Rhyes Millens Gto in the back ground haha

No, but the debate on his skill level will still rage on. The only reason he bought that car was because he put his usual track Miata into a wall at Streets of Willow last weekend and bent a control arm which didn't arrive on time to make this event. He bought this car Thursday, installed the rollbar Friday night, and rolled it Saturday morning about 11am.

Amen... he giveth and he taketh awayeth

Or he giveth and then taunts you by making sure you never have enough money to do what you want with it.

Haha

Does he want to sell his wheels/tires?

What I/C is that, where does one acquire said device, and lastly how much? HEH

Savington, want to trade cars?? Your is stunning! I just had to say that, it really looks spectacular.

And that was one lucky guy, so if there was a small bar, why did it get completely smashed? Was it a 2 point or something? I thought that almost all events make sure that you are running a good bar, I mean even though that one saved him, a better bar would have been the difference from him being amazingly lucky and him just having a bad day.

eBay intercooler, 27x8x2.5 IIRC. It's either a 27" or 28" core. I paid $80 used, you can get them for $100-120 all day long.

Or he makes you constantly swap in new motor :gay: whoops hope scot doesn't read that :rofl: j/k

Savington,

Your TSI's. Looks like they are completely open. Do you have bulbs hidden inside the opening? Do you just pull out the signals for track days? Curious what you've done.

hmm very nice, I was thinking that 27 would be way to big. Are you having any cooling issues with such a large IC blocking the radiator?

Yeah, I am. I've got the stock belly pan, but no other ducting as of yet. The car will overheat a tiny bit if I do more than about 3 hard laps in 100+ degree heat on a racetrack. I suppose you could call that a cooling issue. I'm going to put a couple of ducts in so it will draw some air over the top of the intercooler. I haven't decided where to put the oil cooler yet.

The TSIs are totally open, no bulbs hidden. I have the parking lights rewired as blinkers.
