I know that was your first run, and it got much better.... still funny though.

gotcha.
are you still running a rear sway bar.
the miata comes with a pretty heavy oversteer problem.
everything you do to a miata (well everything I have done to my miata) has been to remove over steer.
we do NOT run a rear sway bar at all.i still have the stock one on, i did not have this problem at WSIR last month, not that bad atleast
we run a super stiff front sway bar still have stock one
front springs are SUPER stiff and rear springs are only mild stiff. (700/375 compared to the stock 120/100) i have H&R race springs with tokico illuminas
31/26 air pressure
.... etc
There is a picture of you hugging that cone pretty close also. I commented to Michelle when we were edditing the pictures on how nice you took that one turn... let me see if I can find it....

Isnt this a picture of yo spinning? (facing backwards on the track.)
if the WISR event your tlaing about is a road race, then dont compare that. the way a car handles on open fast runs is not always the way a car will handle in a super tight turn.
Isley could better tell you about this, but from my understanding you would not set up an auto cross car exaclty like you would a road race car????
I think "imperfections" in a car are magnified more in a autocross??? (I could be wrong)
you might have also simply been over driving. you hit the gas full throttl ein the middle of a tight turn and even under powered cars will break the tires loose.

More aggressive brake pads on the track are also very useful.
I also start with a lower tire pressure on the track, because you don't have chance to bleed them down between laps.
Man...Now this looks exciting!
