What a weekend WTAC was. I sit back now after unpacking the car, tools, parts etc and think about what myself and a mate have done over the last few weeks to turn the little '5 into a bona fide track car, and I couldn't be happier.
We stuck to the ethos of the MX5 by maintaining it's lightweight with only a moderate power increase.
Unfortunately, I had only 2 flying laps for the whole weekend!
Even when I was on a flyer, and all sections green on the Racechrono, I was having to move out of the way of other (faster) drivers.
Because the first session was red flagged twice, then I missed sessions 2 and 3 with the manifold and exhaust off (I melted both water lines to the turbo) I went out in 28° temps and did my fastest time.
My WTAC campaign wouldn't of been possible without Brad Humphries. You were awesome, before the event and during. Dan Callow at CMA, both builds wouldn't have happened without you. Ian baker for putting this circus that is WTAC on.
I'd put up some photos of my car on track, but nobody took any!
My goal was a 1:52, which I hit. But it needs more power in this company, I couldn't even hit 195 down the straight. That's nearly 100kph slower than my evo!
Time to park the MX5 and get back on the Kombi. I want to be able to drive my family to lunch on Christmas day in it.
Ironically, the Kombi will make twice the power of my race car.
