1990 MAZDA MX-5 | SCCA EST Prep
PCA Chesapeake Event #7
Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, MD

Another guest co-drive appearance, this time in Curt's 1990 Miata prepped for SCCA's EST class. The car is on old RE71RS tires, but it was warm enough with dual drivers that we were still able to get maximum pace out of what is left of them. It is fun to again jump behind the wheel of a car with NO driver aides. No ABS, no traction or stability control, not even power steering! As you can see the driving is a bit more physical, and braking zones required more careful finesse and modulation at the threshold of lock-up. But at the end of the day, it was rewarding to see how competitive an old car on old tires with around 100HP on tap did against much more expensive, powerful, modern cars.

Thanks to Curt for the co-drive opportunity:
