Jesus. The Miata looked to be on two wheels for a while in the camera car's rearview mirror.

Miata 2 was completely blindsided by Miata 1 doing that jig to the right to defend his position, but why did no-one in that trio acknowledge the yellow flag?

I was wondering about this too, the camera car got an unmistakeable yellow flag but didn't slow down at all.

The flag came late for that pack of cars, you check that flag station BEFORE you enter the corner... hard to watch, but (aside from the lotus driver parking it instead of rolling further offline) no one screwed up. That's an honest racin' deal.

As I understand it the guy saw what seemed like an open straight stretch beyond the fence so he decided to punch through it instead of following the road like he was supposed to.

Video of me running a SS Camaro. Not a race, cause we're not in the same class, but was a fun roll. I was set on the lowest setting at 12lbs on real invo street tires. Blew tires off in 2nd, so just pulled to third and heel/toe'd it.

I don't make turns. If my car made 600-700hp, sure. My lowest setting is 1000. I've raced since I was a kid. As far as what the gently caress I was thinking. Do you really consider what just happened a race? I'm under acceleration for 3-4 seconds, that's it. I was out of the gas way before getting near the cars in front of me. If the rest of the board doesn't like it, I don't care.

You like road racing, which I respect, but don't do. I've grown up around drag racing my whole life. My father is in various racing hall of fames, brother has been world champ, my nephew has been world champ and we have countless national event wins. Different strokes for different folks. I don't put down road racing because I don't do it. Maybe you should consider the same for drag racing.

Your car would destroy mine taking turns I'm sure. Just as mine would rear end rape your car in any form of a drag race.

When you can go from 60-160 in a little over 4 seconds, you can't just randomly punch the gas. Most of the rolls I've done aren't on video and take a team of 10 people. That allows us to block off traffic and give me some real room to open up. When racing, always give 1 lane of space between cars. At 3900lbs, my car isn't exactly the best at a standstill. I've thought about taking my car to the texas mile. I'd just have to change too much tranny stuff, along with aero additions. My car gets rear end light at 170.

It's pointless arguing with them about this. If your preferred motorsport doesn't involve shifting your own gears and taking corners then it is equivalent to figure skating to some people here. Just post what makes you happy and ignore the motorsport snobs.
