yeah i must say we were outclassed by the cars and experience of the drivers

The white spec miata were running circles around alot of higher HP cars.
HP doesnt matter

it will pass alot of cars because of the Power to Weight Ratio

it isn't much different.
1.8 L engine produced 98 kW (131 bhp) so I'd say 110whp

On a lighter note, there's no reason for name calling or belittling as track events are self learning experiences to hone our own driving skills since we're all not Michael Schumachers.

I'd have to say though getting used to the fast pace of advanced group is an eye opener, as its on an entirely new level vs driving in intermediate. As long as you're aware of your surroundings, driving with pros is a little more relieving as they're actions can be more predictable. Knowing where they are in relation to your position on the track is required otherwise you become unpredictable. So you guys need to quit your whining and practice some more.

I definitely prefer to do stusa; however, this weekend is the qualifying event for super street time attack.

Well GL to you. I was talking with one of my friends about you earlier today, telling them you went from car show buff to track junky.

Just keep in mind everyone. Ferdie started at the same time as us, and I am not even talking about track events. I'm talking karting Ferdie is fast but his car is just way damn ugly
