Hi Folks,

Looks like great info on this board. Making my first post as a thread for videos. Had a great day at Thunderhill last Sunday, 12/30, with SCCA members. Here is my fastest lap.

The video system is called Racelogic Video VBOX Lite. It's a 2-camera system and there is no post processing. The driver analysis software is incredible:

Welcome! Are you going to be joining the SM class this year in SFR? Is this car SM prepped? Couple observations...

1. No coasting allowed... hard brake or gas!
2. Sounds like you are getting wheel spin? Torsen time! If you have one then something is wrong to allow both tires to spin(set/up, tires)
3. Unless traffic, try 5 and 11 in 3rd

Do you have a link to your data collection system?

Hi Ron,

Thanks! This Miata will remain street-legal. I've been instructing for a dozen years now and would love to participate in SM or other classes one of these days. Here's a link to Racelogic's Video VBOX Lite (I'm a dealer).

• Yeah, I know...in a perfect world. Practice what I preach.
• Definitely time for an LSD.
• Data has shown it's faster 2nd to 3rd. I think gearing is a little taller in a stock Miata vs. SPEC (4.1 vs. 4.3)?

I was there that weekend also. White #05. Don't recall seeing you.

There are a few guys that drive to the track. The most famous is the Sharpie car.

Scott, your friends with Todd and parked right next to him, right?

Alberto, wasn't he at Casa R. with Todd too. Remember?

Hi Alberto,

Where were you parked? I was directly across from the potium. Red #4 (yellow tape number).

Was that a great day, or what?!

Hey Johnny. Yup, that was me. Todd suggested I check out this forum, too.

Roll the lip on the rear wheelwells and you'll eliminate the squeak.
