reppin' miata's @ viper cup / whelen TT
despite a terrible start, managed to snag one of these and a free hoosier yesterday. alot of people liked the little miata fighting off american supercars!

Nice job. And you deserve more credit than you're giving yourself. Most don't realize what big advantage all the torque is for compensating on late throttle input coming out of turns. You're doing a great job of accelerating light years ahead of the guys in front- making up car lengths by accelerating while they're still feathering, or coasting. And then there's the braking... An underpowered (relatively speaking) car is great way to encourage one's driving skills. btw- your phone makes the car sound like a 13b...sry

those old hoosiers you gave me last year! 225 r6. they weren't as grippy as my nitto's but i had to do the best with what i had. 4 wheel drifted off the track once. winners time was 1:55.6ish. it was tim ray from nasa tta class. actually leading the points i think. i missed 2nd place on sat. by 0.2 tenths of a second, and 3rd by less than a tenth iirc. that was on 205 bfg's. now i see why your so mad about nasa classing, i like free tires too!

I won't be compettive at their hp levels (can't dial up more boost/hp) but I'd still run for fun with them if they come back next year..

Spoolin is became significantly faster this year, I'm taking notes.
lol @ calling our Miatas "underpowered". I know they are compared to the Vipers but god damn my hands are full in my under-powered car.
