I used to know a guy who was good at building and driving fast cars. Caint remember his name but his initials were Brad Roberts.
He gave me some pointers when I was first starting out.


He tole me that anyone can go fast with lots of HP but a good driver is one who can go fast in a momentum car.
The miata is similar to a 4 cyl 914 in that to get a good time you need to carry speed and momentum through the entire course. Get through the corners with slowing down at little as possible.
The more you brake the more time you lose, scrubbing off speed by taking corners fast makes you slower. Sometimes you have to blow a corner of porpoise to get the next one right.

SLOW DOWN TO GO FAST.

It sounds a whole lot simpler than it is but if you go after an AX with that in mind your technique will develop faster.
