Default Any Turbo Miatas on Pinks?

I watched pinks the other night and saw a V8 Miata race (I think it got spanked) but was wondering if anyone has seen a Turbo Miata on the show and how did it do?

Yea, I think it was.

Interesting it looked like he was running a T25. I saw it through the intake in the headlight lid.
