Spec miata lap record for nasa on the chicane course at mid ohio is 1:45 i think at mid ohio and scca i believe is 1:43. Those are full race motors and very prepaired with top spec miata drivers which are no joke. I know some of them well. As i stated in the comments of the video when i posted it is that this was both drivers with the cars at the track, no testing not practicing nothing, just going out and getting used to the car. I did get the car down to a 1:39.2 in the 2nd or 3rd run. Which i think at mid ohio is pretty good for a large car on street tires. Mid ohio is very technical and not friendly to larger cars like vir or road atlanta.

That was fun to watch. How do you like driving the Miata coming from high horsepower cars? You Sir can drive. I'm trying to go back to VIR in September on the 9th and 10th. Could be very interesting. Just modded the cat and it is making 770 at the rear wheels now. Hoping to make the Charlotte Motor Speedway this Sat with it but waiting on the tuner to send me some tweaks to the tune. Really curious to see how it holds up temp wise with the extra boost. The mods are really for drag racing and runway events but I still want to road race until I can get a dedicated track car. Maybe I'll see you out sometime.
