@@badgumby9544 You can't make blanket statements like that. There are thousands of Miatas and hundreds of races. Everyone who's ever at the front cheats? Run a randomized trial, pick 2 cars, race one, have a good SM driver race the other, then swap. See what happens. I've raced with the best drivers in SM and I can count in the fingers of one hand those who win because they cheat. I know them, almost everyone knows them, I don't respect them, I doubt the others do, and it's pointless anyway, as there's no money involved. The majority win because they drive well. Obviously if you go with an under-prepared car in a super competitive championship race you're going to get trampled, we don't race with our feet, we race cars. But preparedness (and knowing what and how to prepare it) is part of the experience and the challenge. It takes 10 weekends to know what corner weights, tire pressures, heat cycles, brake pads, etc to run for this track on these conditions to extract the last second
Smooth driving & great foot work ! Good drivers always make it look easy . Just another relaxing day in the office
Great racing and great driving - thanks for sharing!
great drive, looks like we both did the same exact thing at the start, but only one of us recovered ;)
Thanks! Yes, I realized that when I saw your video. I was wondering why you didn't pass me at the start :-)
Nice race! Fancy footwork. I hope to meet you in August. - Chris Adams 187 sm
How did you mount the camera pointed at your feet?
I won't make the August race. Unless The Itch comes back stronger than expected :-)
Spec Miata - the definition of cheating.
Cheap excuse. Swap cars and see if you win
@@utubeyt All the front runners in Miata cheat and you know it.
