Lol yea I was laughing my ass off as soon as I felt the rear end snap and it wouldnt hook back up.

Yes Adam, just an old 165k mile beat up Miata. Soo much fun and so cheap to maintain.

Though after about 10-11 track events Im going to finally have to put more front brakes on

It sounds really good in the video and looks like it makes a good track car.

Ok.
The same video Benn posted above,but from my car.If only those damned Corvettes and Vipers didn't have 500+ horsepowerz.Also includes one of the All Aspects Mustangs towards the end.

You know how you always sound like a redneck on video when you hear yourself?Well,here you go:

Hey Chris, remember when I said I crew-chiefed for a HC2 road race car? unfortunately this video is what happened to us in qualifying at nationals @ Mid-Ohio...mud on the other side of the alligator caused it to break loose and if you could see the in-car video, he did everything he friggin could, but the car didn't give in...

And I quote... "OHHHH SHIT! OHHHH SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I didn't see the last crash coming. I thought he was going to recover. I thought the crash you were talking about was that first little piddly spin out.

Brutal!!!

Wow!The way the tire wall caught the car,it almost made it go over.Scary stuff.
To get one of these cars to actually turn,the setup is very unforgiving.Once it gets that far gone you'd be very lucky to catch it.
Got any pics/info on the new car?
