Well it was an up and down weekend. I put in new front koni shocks and raised the spindles 19mm, but didnt have time to adjust anything. So I go out to practice and had a little rubbing so I bring it in. Fix that and go to qualify, but the oversteer was scary. 25th is where I started. A few laps in I'm up to 14th then a Miata slams the back right corner a sends me sideways. I regroup in 21st and finish 13th. The back bumper is toast and have some body damage. I go out to qualify for sundays race and get pulled in for passing under yellow. They throw out all my times and tell me I have to start last 33rd. At the start of the race I get hit on the left rear corner and sent sideways again. (miata) I save it and start passing people in turn 2,3,4,5,6,8 and on the inside of nine. From 33rd to 8th not bad in 14 laps. My oil temps were 250 to 280 with three oil coolers dont no whats going on with that. I also got passed on the straight by a miata so I think Im down on power.

At an HSR West a few years ago at the CA Speedway our Porsche run group had a couple of Miatas, several Hondas and half a dozen BMW spec cars to fill the field to about 30 cars or so. After the practice race the Miata and Honda drivers begged to go into another run group since we did our start at about 90 MPH on the banking and ALL the P-cars had open exhausts the drivers complained they couldn't tell if their cars were even running! They said their starts were generally done at 40MPH or even slower! They did okay in the practice race but were allowed to move and got totally wiped by some Ginettas in the trophy race. If I remember they had no wrecks or anything so at least at that time they behaved.
