windshield wipers stop after 100mph
Rain racing is great here in Oregon. It's a real equalizer... you can finally match laps and even run up on the fast cars. That was the case this weekend. We had a good turn out of experienced drivers, even a retired Indy driver... a wonderful way to learn from their lines.
Except for the fact that from 100 to 125 my wipers stalled and I couldn't see a thing! The GT cars with aero really were throwing up rooster tails and it was hard to see when close in the braking zone and while rolling past lapped traffic.
Is this what to expect for a 2004 miata? Or, do I have a problem that I can fix?

I just want to know if an NB miata wiper motor will normally stall at high speed, or if I might need a new wiper motor?

I wonder if I replaced with a stubby wiper blade, or deleted the passenger blade?

PIR? Pretty good times, SM was only running a second or so faster in the same rain.
It should slow down with aero drag, and although I don't think I've gone 125 in rain yet, mines NEVER stopped. Just slows.
