I've never run a transponder at TWS or MSR, unfortunately.

My first time on a track, was in the Fall of 1989, just after the first Miatas and the re-designed Nissan 300ZX came out. I had bought a Z and my wife of the moment ;) had bought a Miata. Novice that I was, I would go into a turn at, what I believed to be, a too fast speed, lifted, and promptly spun....just about everywhere at TWS on the long course. It was suggested that I try the Miata, and I WAS IN HEAVEN! I finally started getting the hang of it and, as they say, "the rest is history"! I bought my first Miata in October of 1991 :)

I know there have been faster times since some of these. If you know what they are, POST :)
I feel pretty good, knowing I was less than two seconds off of your SSB time at Hallet, in only my second time at that track. :mrgreen:
Was that in an NA or NB?
That was in Speedie (NA)....BEFORE the track was repaved ;) Note the date - 1998.Quote:

one more data point to add..
Just got back from Hallet this weekend... Best in the MSM 1:36.9xx
205/45-16 V700s, exhaust, ~9psi of boost. otherwise stock
needs a bigger intercooler!
My best at Hallet is 1:39:09
btw, Azenies suck or my alignment is way off cause my best this weekend was 1:41:23 and I have a 1.8 now instead of a 1.6! Car felt very loose. :(
what tires were you on for the 1:39?Quote:
