    How do you steer this thing? Spec-Miata Road Atlanta

    It was Brian's test day at Road Atlanta before the 2014 SCCA Majors race. First time on the track, first session at speed, and first time going over the hill without a steering wheel...

    I was coming here to post this. Talk about a scary moment.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    gotta make sure it CLICKS in when reconnected.. I learned that the hard way too.. except in my case it was just driving around in the paddock getting into my grid position...

    Thank God there was a camera; if he wrecks the car, it should not be his fault.

    For any of you that have driven on Road Atlanta, that last corner that turns and goes over the hill, ugh, it feels like you are driving off a cliff.
