Your Drunkle and his non-turbocharged Miata
Good morning (or whatever time it is for you) all. Im new here and I have a '99 Miata that I have started doing HPDEs in the southeast with. I don't intend to turbo the car (wrong forum then I guess) but I do intend to make it go around a track faster and this forum seems to have a high concentration of racecars and knowledge. So here I am...
The car is currently fairly stock minus:
- Extended lower front ball joints and SuperMiata Dual Duty Alignment
- Racing Beat front sway bar with SuperMiata end links
- Megan Racing Radiator
- A really nice coolant leak
It under steers currently thanks to the large front bar and stock suspension/rear bar. I was able to manage about 2 minutes flat at Road Atlanta, which I think is borderline respectable but definitely leaves a lot of room for improvement (both me and the car).
Anyways. Hello everyone. I cant wait to ask you guys a ton of questions that have been covered a million times rather than search.

I don't do track days in the summer because it's too damn hot to wear a fire suit down here in Florida. But some of us are going up to Miatas at the Gap. And I think there's a track day on Thursday at Atlanta Motorsports Park. There's a thread here somewhere on the Forum.
My home track is Sebring. We will probably be going there in the fall again. Not too far for you I hope.

Atlanta Motorsports park is ~3 hours from you and a nice tight track for the Miata. Every Memorial day weekend the Music City Mustang Club out of Nashville has a track day or two for ~$200-$250 but it's the entire day you're out in a run group every 45 minutes between sessions. The MCMC doesn't require a roll bar for Novice/Intermediate groups and only allows passing on 2 straights with a point by so you can drive 7/10ths or 9/10ths if you wish. Lots of Porsche's running up your butt though.
Asheville is one area I've been watching for jobs, lots of weekend twisties nearby.
