Yes, it was Randy. His ride for Sebring fell through so he came out to check out COTA. He's got a race in May and like many other drivers, they've only seen the track on tv. We brought down 4 cars and he hopped between them to learn the track. Great guy, very nice and lots of fun.

The Miata is a 1990 with a rebuilt 1.6. Not a SM but an ITA/ITB car. It was very fast (for a Miata).

No, but I love the simultaneous right hand upshift, left hand point by at 4:03. Obviously a compliment to your car preparation.

Great video. Thank you very much for posting.

Since we all know that Porsche drovers can't learn anything from chicks in Miatas, here's some more relevant footage:

Sounds like I might've missed the original discussion of this gem. If so, would someone be so kind as to provide a link? Thanks.
