the car is so much lighter then most cars the conversion from a normal car to a set up miata can be difficult for a new track driver. dont spend a much of money on brakes , let em fade a bit and use that to force yourself to carry more speed in the corners. my feeling is that if you are set on a car that will do such and such time 1/4 mile then that is still your priority. that is fine but it is not a road track mindset. if you want a fast turbo miata for the road track then I would not worry about times at all. a good set up road track car is not going to trap as well as the same car set up for drag. I'm not saying you cant do both. I ve only been to the drag strip with my audi a4 and it was boring for me. I managed a 12.8 and a 60' at 1.6 but that is with a all wheel drive launch. after a 1/8 mile I was done , boring. decent car on a road track tho. |
