OK, so it is HALF Mazda...

Here's some recent in-car footage from my LS1 powered miata race car at a recent NASA race weekend at Thunderhill.

I forgot to point out that I ran out of gas 2 laps before the end of the race because I'M AN IDIOT and forgot to refuel after qualifying...

Thanks for sharing Dean. I'm sure Mr. Spikes would have been proud if he was still around to watch. I guess the LS1 sucks a bit more gas than our 4 bangers! So how hard was it to learn how to use the brakes :) ?

I think Dr Dan has Spikes car and he's still having issues. He did at the event.
See his blog on the right.
