Sunday Spec Miata NASA race at Buttonwillow 13 CW without the bus stop, video 2 of 4, towards the end of this clip I get passed by an E30 (not in my class) who spins, I swerve to avoid him and slow down as much as I can and would have hit him if the other E30 didn’t fly by and crash him right off the track and out of my way, unfortunately I was going very slow at that point and I got passed, but re-passed him later…
