ND Drift In Rain
Front: 215/45/17 RT660
Rear: 215/45/17 Kenda KR20A (300tw)
Struggled with front grip all day, and this was the best I could manage. Need a LOT more seat time for drifting!

Finally made some significant suspension change and the car feels a lot better at East now. Def should've been a 2:03 if I didn't make the mistake at T10 (the very lap before this I also got a 2:04 with the exact same mistake here lol). The cones at T11 also costed ~0.5s according to aim's data. But all in all, I finally start feeling this track now and we'll get that 2:03 next time, if not bet...

SCCA Time Trial National Tour T4 class P4. I recently switched to this new car and managed to finish building it the night before SCCA TTNT to make it! But I made a mistake by putting on a new header/tune and ended up fighting with an exhaust leak and 5 different CEL codes (all related to running lean) for the entire weekend. Lesson learned, no messing with the powertrain right before an event ...

Second time bringing my ND1 Miata to Laguna Seca. Lap time doesn't show much improvement but I felt that my driving was much better. Somehow the traction control always kicks back on after T6 (I had to manually turn it off again every time). It'd cut power every time right at the corner exit which causes noticeable time loss. I need to figure out a way to fix that. Power: Stock ND1 motor with F...

      I think going far left on the exit is okay cause you don't need to go all the way to the right entering T9 anyway. I had a faster laptime later on with that car, but it's irrelevant now. I think with the new pavement and my ND2 I can do a 1:42-43. We'll see, hopefully soon.

    I hope you realize the mistake you made was shifting in the middle of the Carousel (Turn 6). All shifting (up or down) should be done in a straight line. You really need to commit to the gear that you're in while executing a turn. Otherwise you're likely to upset the car.... as seen here. To put a finer point on it; the situation was exasperated by the fact that you shifted right in the middle of the compression zone in the turn. Coming out of that compression zone your suspension is going to be unweighted; causing decreased grip. Throw in the unsettling input of upshifting at the same time and the car was completely out of shape (you lost the back end and were unable to catch it). Glad you got away with it unscathed. Like any mistake (that we all make) the important part is to learn from it
