    If you ever drive one of these again, wear a damn fire suit. I've been at a track day where one of these turned into an inferno because it spun off into the grass, and when the driver tried to get it going, the car spat enough flames out the tailpipe that it set the grass on fire, and the burning grass in turn set the car on fire.
    Unbelievable that they let you do this in freaking shorts.

      Yeah, I'm in the UK and there is no way you'd be getting in an opened wheeled car without a fire proof suit.

      ALLWAYS , if You drive race car on race track - where a suite. You never know day and hour when someone else will drive into You, even on traning / test day, or when someting will fail in Your car, and You will be going 100mph straight into concrete barier without any control ... because tire or something in suspension will fail.
      Period.
      Its allways better to be OVERPROTECTED like it would be F1 race, even if You drive only modified Miata.

      Those formula Mazdas have a fire suppression system, fire suits are recommended though.

    When are you getting a comp license? Formula Mazda is the fastest growing class in ICSCC right now. In July's race at Pacific, there were 5 cars, and none of those cars were there. Formula Mazda also runs in SCCA nationally still under Formula X.

      If you want to go for season points another class may be best. SCCA is not doing Formula Mazda or Formula X for season points. Formula F, V, or 5 are more appealing to me as cheap open wheel series because even though I am not planning to win I would like to qualify for the runoffs championship race just to be there!

    No safety gear at all, short pants no sleeves and a motorcycle helmet not SA certified, You would never be allowed on any track I've driven on.
    You need at least an SFI 3.1 or better, gloves Nomex underwear, arm restraints and Nomex socks on Your hands with finger holes cut out, much cheaper that a trip to the emergency room.
    Never went out onto a track with less than that.
