Cornering hard and revving the snot out of the engine won't hurt anything. -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results

I was able to keep up with a lot of others with much more experience, my times were better than some miatas, corvettes, mini cooper and at least one mustang that had race rubber. I have the car on ebay but Im reconsidering. I need to get some new tires for the car. They were worn before I even got there. The fastest I went about 55. I tried working on smoothness. It was fun.
