Co-drove Justin’s supercharged s2k putting down ~320whp. I also drove my Miata afterwards for shits & grins. I was surprised my Miata was only half a second off of my run in Justin’s s2k but I believe a major proponent of that was that he’s still on stock suspension while my Miata is set up nicely on 550/350 Ground Controls and sway bars.

When I’m not busy working on music, I occasionally take my Miata out to the racetrack. Here’s some of the laps from my June 2010 race at Buttonwillow Raceway. Out of 17 cars, I started 13th and finished 11th. Not too bad for a terrible race car driver! baddriverracing.com

It’s been almost a year since I’ve been on a racetrack! Was glad to be out to Auto Club Speedway this past weekend for some fun in my spec miata. With some drafting help from John MI qualified 6th out of 16 cars. In the race I made some dumb mistakes and lost a few positions, but overall it was a ton of fun. Finished 10th! Here are some highlights.

When I’m not busy working on music, I occasionally take my Miata out to the racetrack. Qualified 8th out of 21 cars and finished 5th!! Maybe, just maybe I’m not quite as bad a race car driver as I used to be! SCCA spec miata race at Buttonwillow Raceway, March 27, 2011. This track has multiple configurations— this configuration is 25 CW (clockwise). stateshirt.com

My NA6C vs. a Spec Miata. It was a lot of fun to say the least.
