Sure, you give up 200 ft of course on the way back, but it sure as hell beats arm wrestling your car through a horrible short/wide offset like at Z-Hills... Gives the drivers plenty of room to shut it down, and keeps the finish fun.

It's so frustrating to work your way through a nice 2nd gear course then come to a STOP before the lights because the course designers want to put the finish right next to the T&S tent.

Dying to see how my new tires work out. (Falken 615s)
I ran them at Z-hills, but that gave me almost no idea of how much traction I have. (I'm sure people can relate to the slip sliding fun of that runway.)
Looking forward to the grip of Brooksville.

I just got back from the All Ford Nationals in PA.

So I've been driving a big Old Truck with a swinging load for the Last week,
I wasn't sure I would remember how to drive the Miata.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
