Some of you know I drove the Flyin' Miata 340HP turbo Miata in the Open Track Challenge this year. That car was an incredible handful. Very high steering effort, huge horsepower on boost, locked differential (spool) and a very short wheelbase. Can you say twitchy?!



Here's a video of a lap around the Derek Daly Academy track at Las Vegas:

Here's a video of me getting all crossed up just trying to keep the car on the track while chasing the 300HP 240Z:

And finally, a lap at Pahrump. At the Pahrump event we were using a Torsen diff, but there was so much power that it just broke traction of the inside wheel and let it spin like an open diff. It was a much tamer car to drive, but was slower around the track.
