Default Miata vs Corvette race action aT Road Atlanta

Here is a short video from the WRL race at Road Atlanta last month. It shows Robert Thorne in ShakyDog Racing's car #45 known as "Moose" chasing down one of Loius Gigliotti's C5 Corvette's and finally getting around him for good. I don't know who was actually driving the Corvette from their team.

Enjoy

Great work by Big Bag Wolfe. However, it doesn't seem the vette driver had a full handle on either the car or Michelin Atlanta (or whatever they are renamed to)??

Nope, they are actual roll bar padding. The local circle track shop was out of the gray so I just bought the blue ones that no one wanted.
