Miata Mailing List: March 1999, Message #81

sponsored by

There's a guy that autocrosses an Integra Type R here at Fort Meade,
MD during the season.  He is very fast.  He beat all the Miata's the
day I saw him.  I believe he was only beat out by a guy in a '98 M3
(who also kicked major butt) and a guy with a burnt out Lotus with no
body only duct tape and some sheet metal.  Ugliest car I've ever seen
at an event, but damn fast.  He took the FTD followed by the M3.  None
of the other "cart" guys could get it together for a fast run.  Lots
of off course runs.  It was cloudy and cold so most of the guys were
having traction problems.  I'd love to have a Type R, but I wouldn't
trade in my Miata for one.
