Even if you run STR you'll be in the same group as me, so you wont be completely alone.

Rounds 1 and 2 in the books. Beautiful weather both days.

Being out with the first run group on the first day was.. fun? Got to clear the marbles and lay down grippies for the second run group.

Car felt great both days, but definitely has more in it. Maybe I need to invest in "street" class A6s *cough*cough*

Haha how do you think I felt as the first car of the day?

Things I discovered... At autox speeds the Miata understeers badly, but at higher speeds I could lift and have it rotate nicely. I need better tires as my RE11's are hard as a rock.

Between the 2nd and 3rd run groups on Sunday, one of the instructors took out 3 other people in one of the training cars around the course. He put down a respectable time considering the car was fully loaded and running mediocre tires.
