    That's my issue, too. I would have gone, otherwise.

    Same here. I have to do something special for Ken and JJ. (I'm assuming Mother's Day includes MF's?)

    Had a great time, great to meet a few of you out there!

    Now I need to figure out setup, and get faster...

    Good day. Starting to trust the aero.

    M3 is always the answer.

    I dunno' Ken. Looking at min corner speeds compared to this non-aero Miata, I'd say you need to trust more (nice power though):

    Give him a break! He's limited to an M3. Can't expect him to be as fast as a Miata.

    I think if you look at Ken's obvious shortcomings I thing he is doing a fine fine job!

    Good Job Ken!

    What's HP-Weight ratio? I'll guess the fat M3 wins.

    IDK. Those lines look pretty clean.

    Had a great time! Wish I didn't suck so much.

    Anyone get pictures?

    I think 6 seconds faster definitely counts as a win.

    Joking aside I would not expect a high HP car to be setup to carry the same mid corner speed. Power car and momentum car setup are not the same. And if you are in a Miata and are faster in the corners than a high HP car that doesn't necessarily mean you are a better driver/car/etc.
