Ugh. Spec Miata drivers. I hate them. Most of them have no regard to other cars. I had a close encounter with one at a track event last year.

Horrid crash.

Being a certified race track marshall, that made me sick to watch. That's your worst nightmare, right there: waving the flag with an incident in progress, and a driver isn't watching. Seeing the Lotus wasn't really even on the driving line, I don't think even throwing a red flag would have made any difference, seeing how the miata guy was apparently using the force instead of looking ahead.

Damn.

So lucky no one was killed.

dude.. not all spec miata drivers are like that..

although, I must say, as a spec miata driver myself, I hate being blackflagged for other red spec miata's (has happened to me 4x already in 2 years)... AND I have NEVER hit another miata (had 3 miata's hit me) and I ALWAYS am very aware of all the flag stations, traffic behind me, etc. I'm not someone who blocks people not in my class and heck, even faster spec miata drivers I give a point by to pass me (I'm just not out for blood I guess).

I love my spec miata but do drive other cars and will be driving a b13 in PTE/ITA once its set up.

A typical Spec Miata driver response....

I have a very fine interest road racing my friend, Matter of fact, I am just about interested in all forms of racing. Alot of racers are switching up their sports if you did not notice. Why focus on 1 facet of racing?
