We autocrossed our 99 Miata yesterday and I'm so proud of my wife. Sue came in 18th out of 88 drivers. There were five girls and Sue beat their times by over 3 seconds. The car ran well and we're getting used to the 300HP turbo, she's learning how to handle all the power and to the feather the car into the turns to keep from spinning out the rear tires. Three weeks and we'll be road racing a 2.8 mile course in Purhump, NV 75 miles north of Las Vegas. She named the car "Mighty Mouse"!

 

Good job.

I really need to start autoXing.

 

Me too.

 

Girls can be awesome at autox. On a course where smooth is fast, they rock. I blame overcooked corners on testosterone.

 

Hope to see her here in Lincoln at Nationals next year. The 08 and 09 SSML champ is a local. Sue runs a 325WHP supercharged S2000.

 

 

Nice job. However there is already someone with "mighty mouse" for a name here.

 

gj pitcrew im glad she is growing into the car, just wait until she wants more power lol that stuff is rather addictive.

 

in for pics of wife.

 

i hope my future wife has driving talent! but not better than me!

 

lol he's probly hogging all that miata racing goodness to himself i know i would.

 

Hey guys, give Jack a break. He may not understand your little comments, espcially you Loki. From his intro thread:

"Hi guys, I'm Jack I'm 63 years old and I'm new to this site. Since my heart attack last year my wife Sue is the racer in our family, yes I said my wife!"

 

well the guy can read can't he?

J/K probably not my target audience.

 

fixed*

 

wow those are nice results. Does she autox often?
