What's funny is that the "other guy" who took the video had just e-mailed me the clip just a short while ago and I jump on prime and already see a link to it. The "other guy" is an NSX owner and prime member.MiamieNeSeX said:Funny how the guy straightens it out then still wont let the other guy go by..................

That's me in the Spec Miata camera car. It was qualifying so there was no hurry to get by him. We exchanged hand signals a bit then finished the session. Don't be fooled by the video. That shift in the middle of the carousel is at 85 and the data log shows that by the kink I'm at a bit over 105, and he was moving slightly faster. To his credit he didn't panic and do anything abrupt, but if he had reacted a little faster and more decisively he probably could have caught it.
Having visited Road America many times in my youth as a spectator and crew, it was great to finally race there. Winning the pole and the race both days wasn't bad either. OK, it was "only" Midwest Council, but 18-20 other guys, most of whom had raced there before, finished behind me each day. Oh, and my kid brother finished 2nd both days and had me beat Sunday until he let up for a moment.

sjs said:Do I have to tell? :redface: OK, according to my data logger it was 2:48.95 during the ITA race on Saturday (running full SM specs). But it was my first time there, not to mention SO hot that afternoon the poor little 1.6 Miata engine was even weaker than usual, which is huge at Road America. The guy who finished 3rd both days was a more than a second off what he's run before.
What times do people run in stock NSXs during non-race track days?

NSX 3.0 said:Advanced- low 2.40's...I think T Bell should be in the high 30's the next event. Not bad for the little Miata good luck in your future races.
