Not every race weekend goes perfectly

Saturday went well. I beat my son in 2 of the 3 races…



In the first race on Sunday an idiot decided to pass me in the chicane leading onto the front straight. I held my line and gave him room in the exit but this closed the door for another faster car that was racing against the guy that passed me in the chicane… he hit me hard, caused me to spin at about 80mph, hit the wall, and screwed up my car pretty good. His car is worse.

I can’t upload the photos…

I was able to sew the bumper back together with zip ties and bodge in the head light, pound out the drivers door and tape and zip tie the rear bumper back on so I could run in the feature race.

This is exactly why I no longer bring my 911 to the track. It also proves that not only are miatas the best sports car ever, they are also the toughest sports car ever…
