    Default Topic: Attention Miata racers and autocrossers

    From Solo2.org...
    I found this link on the Twickenham Auto Club site. It seems the throttle can stick because of a rare set of circumstances.

    Interesting. So the answer to the problem might be... to leave the (OEM) floormats in! That way if the cut occurs, you just throw out the floormat and replace it with an new one (instead of having to replace all the carpet in your car... if you had carpet ).

    I'm guessing the SCCA won't go for that idea...
