Re: 1999 Mazda Miata - Project driver education

I've made it out to a few autocrosses, the car has a lot to teach me regarding momentum based driving.

I am improving but I believe it is time to move this from stock trim and start the phase 1 build: Making it my own and starting the basic mods.

I took a 6th place in MOWOG #5 (of 25 people) in the novice group in July with it.
Then at PG2 on September 10th, I took 6 of 24 in "SNA". Top honors were S2000,S2000, RX8, Miata, Miata, This guy.

Overall it seems to get me in and around the 60th percentile or so for raw times. As I tweak that I hope to move that closer to the pointer end of competition, at a minimum top 50% and continue to climb the ranks in classes.

My normal number is #121 (Same as the bike), so that picture is MOWOG #5 at DCTC.

#484 was assigned at PG2 for that event only.
