Yes....Definately must be some differences from a spec miata. Since my only closed wheel experience during appr. 200 miles at LRP had been in my 2005 Subaru automatic outback wagon at SCDA(lot's of left hand finger pointing over the roof on the front and back straight), I thought it might be a good idea to try the miata! I beat a smart car and a poorly driven mini..and chased a 911 on the uphill turn, blah, blah.

Will look forward to american cars, as well in ITB.
