Thumbs up Track day in the Spec Miata

Here's some vids from Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, TX. The 2nd vid I was being followed by a Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series when I went into the sweeper to hot and hit the inside curb which shot me to the outside of the track where I spun off! Enjoy!

Thats a nice wide open track. People knock miata's but after being in the car biz for 6 years plus its one of the most balanced fun to drive cars out there by far

There's nothing wrong with a Miata. A well put together turbo kit and your in business. Great cars. Lovem'. Gotta find another one.

First vid is great - I think I know the Z32TT driver.
How is the camera mounted in the second vid? It's horrible.

^^ I'll trade you for your Cobra. The Spec is fun but it just needs more power! I have been thinking about a turbo. It's frustrating at track days when you catch up to people in the turns, but their ego is to big to let a miata pass... so they just pull away in the straights
