Coming Full Circle

When I first built up my Miata about seven years ago, the goal was to just make a neat street car—a little more power thanks to the usual bolt-ons plus a Flyin’ Miata/Link ECU, Koni suspension, Kaaz limited-slip and the like. The car didn’t fit into any real autocross class, but that wasn’t the point. Well, between recent rule changes at the SCCA and some equipment changes on my behalf, the car is now legal for their C Street Prepared autocross class. That means the car now has a real autocross home, and it got a little exercise this weekend.

So how’d it go? It didn’t win (second out of three), but let’s just say that I may have a new autocross partner—and I have already started talking to Emilio at 949Racing about some optimum wheels. It’s a slippery slope, isn’t it?
