Hey Timmy thats Susan in a passenger seat
Wish I had one!!!! If I can find one that's not $500 I'll have to get it.
Great driving Skirt! Your car looked good. It's crazy how boost allowed you to catch up to Mike in less than a lap.
Thanks Mike for the montage..... I truly appreciate it. I will also use it as a background. Suzan's kids were freaked out watching the video that Skirt shot that showed you and Suzan whippin around the corners. Priceless
I live where even the coyotes won't go...
Mike you arre just damn good, NA and eatin' our lunch. I haven't had a passenger ever at Hallett, I rode along with Bob Benson and learned his line and next year think I will request some help, I'm just braking too hard and not carrying all the speed I can throught the turns. Wish I could afford as much seat time at MSR as you guys.
I found it interesting that Bill started the day with a 1:36, but dropped to a 1:4? at the last session. He never mentioned car trouble so and did get an "instructor" in the afternoon, but 7-8 seconds?????

I think Bill was giving out rides in the afternoon sessions so I'd expect he took it easy on the passangers. If I had the guts I think a ride with Gary would be an ete opener.
Watch GAry's video compared to Skirt's and you'd bet that his was on fast forward : )
We gotta get a clip of his up there somehow.
Yeah, she was a great passenger on the ride along. I kept asking her if she was OK if she was being too quiet. She said she didn't want to bother me whileThanks Mike for the montage.....

Glad you like the photos, your car looked good out on the track. You need to get some real numbers the next time.
That was the way it was all session. I'd make some distance in the turns and skirt would just reel me back in on the straights and under braking.Dang Mike! You were fast in the turns. You guys and your limited slips. LUCKY!!!

John, I lived with a open diff for many years (14 years). Although the torsen is a improvement its not going to make a tremendous amount difference to your laptimes on the track. My times barely improved more than a couple tenths at the ranch when I added a torsen. You can learn to drive with a peg leg and make it work to your advantage.
Probably more important when autocrossing.

I highly recommend Sean Grubb and IZoom Graphics in Oklahoma. You probably saw his vinyl-covered '99 Miata at the Hallett event. He does great work for a great price, and he's extremely easy to work with:

Well, the track seemed to get slicker as the day went on. At least it did to me.

It's true. You watch Gary's video and you wonder "what happened to the straights?" It was like you blinked and he was in the braking zone. lol No rest for the wicked, ah, I mean Gary, on that track.

Looking forward to seeing the vids. I emailed Clyde about pictures we'll see what he captured of the triple 3

MIKE, I've gotta say those are some of the best lines I've seen at Hallett! Great driving and you cetainly have learned what makes a Miata fast....maintaining momentum in the turns. Can't say enough for your driving..... What tires were you on? I think I might like to try out those Tien Flex shocks. The car seems very balanced.

I have to agree. Paul H. in the BRG had Jim Erwin as his instructor. Jim races an NSX at Hallett regularly, and I followed them for a couple of laps. I could see Jim pointing and guiding Paul around the track - and your line matches Jim's exactly.
For some reason I had a hard time finding that line through 4 and 10 without someone to follow, but watching your video was like "So THAT's where I ws supposed to be..."
Very nice work, and great video, too!
