The track record for Spec Miata was set by:
SpecMiata Mark Pombo Miata 1.44.808 2008-Mar-14
Thats 1.5 secs slower than me with a 1.43.3. I'm in a FWD, solid rear axle sentra with basic bolt ons and two blown shocks. And NO AERO. That Spec's motor cost $11K. My entire car cost $2,300.

Nothing comes close to us..

Here are the lap records for Lowes Superspeedway.

We're running TTS times.. in a TTE car. I'd say we're screaming.

lol, look man, Im not ragging on you or your SE-R. i happen to like the SE-Rs. Like I said, thats a good time for a SE-R and congratulations on winning the NASA Championship(I crewed for the SM champ in 07)but that it nowhere close to what I would say is screaming around RA. Its screaming for you and your car, but not at RA.

as far as lap record for a SM, check your records again.

IIRC Joe is on Hoosier R6s.
Congrats Joe, hope to catch ya at a track day sometime this year.

Congrats Joe!

Funny I use to see this little Sentra at Barber and what not and now it has it's National Championship. I'm going to have to credit the driver, and the competition for this win, as I did a private track day at Talladega with Joe and the Sentra was very well set up w/ a driver that knew how momentum cars work

[SmokinJoe]

Thanks for the props! What did you drive?! Help me remember

LOLOL @ 1:43 at Road America in a tin roof car. An Audi R10 does it in high 1:40's and a CART barely sees 1:39.
