Yikes - I take it that's you in the S2000.
I was at the track a couple of weekends ago and had a 944 lose it in front of me...twice.

Dude gives the point and loses control of his car? Looks like both of you guys got to drive away fine but still.

I'm in the Boxster thankfully.

Classic case of "the car goes where you look". Congrats on avoiding that one. I didn't even hear any profanity....

On a straight. :|

[FredK]

"blunt" apexed the straight once and got pretty squirrely, it can happen to anyone

A lot of jackasses out there this past weekend. I'd like to extend a personal THANK YOU to the red miata license plate "oold guy" who repeatedly pointed people by only to drag race them down the straight... couldn't handle the corners for shit.

[Emre]

This is a good example of why I stopped instructing at these kinds of events a couple of years back.

Could easily have balled up both cars...both cabrios without adequate roll protection or hand restraints...yikes!!

Gotcha - I thought you were in an S2000 following a Z4. It helps if I read the whole title. ;)

miata who repeatedly pointed people by only to drag race them down the straight...

Doesn't sound like much of a problem to me.

Sure... coasting and casually braking into and through turns then drag racing the straights is what its all about. Sure, no problem at all buddy.

[agent]

I read that as "I don't care if a Miata tries to race me down the straight... he'll be seeing tail lights."

+1. If you can't beat a Miata in a drag you have other problems...

This was some sort of turbo/ monster miata/ I dunno what. It was hanging with an E36 M3 in the straights that was doing 2:12 lap times in time trials. Stupid fast car and equally stupid driver.
