Great videos Todd.
Saturday and Sunday were my first two races in Spec Miata -- what a blast! I was really impressed by the quality of all of the racers at all levels. I was solidly mid-pack, but still found some great racing.
I think I need to get a video camera -- in Saturday's race the car in front of me in turn 9 overpowered on the track out and ended up sideways about 5 feet off my front bumper; I'm still not quite sure how I missed him. On Sunday my left front wheel dipped over the curbing in the carousel, resulting in a perfect 360 pirouette on the wet grass that allowed me to re-enter the track at the beginning of T9.

It was really interesting watching Todd and Darren and a couple of the other fast PTE's wind their way through the SM traffic. It was tricky to let them through without losing position.
