[QUOTE=PedalFaster,Feb 2 2010, 07:06 PM] Yep, good argument for a halo seat and/or a right-side net.

 

There were a lot of off-tracks at that corner on Sunday.

A white AP2 in the same Blue run group (one session earlier) appeared to almost roll after going off-track at the exact same place. I was two cars back, it was pretty scary to watch; it appeared to get up on two wheels in the mud momentarily.

I have (pretty shaky) video if anyone's curious.

 

you know the wet noodle miata window frames didn't help either.

 

wow.. he did 3 full rotations didnt he?? where is this car? i have the same ugly brown interior in my 94 too.. let him know i want his tranny.. my 2nd gear syncro is bad haha

was the top fiber glass replica or the oem?

 

Makes me rethink safety equipment. They have to put up with a LOT of stress and G's to protect you. Not something you want to skimp on.

^^^S2K Dude, I've got a Miata trans and tons of parts if you're interested, PM me

 

You can get used Miata transmissions from junkyards all day long for $200 - $300.

Doesn't matter if the top was aftermarket or OEM -- neither is designed to protect from that kind of impact.

 

what was upsetting cars so badly in that corner?

 

How amazing he never lets go of the wheel the entire way through.

The scariest thought to me about a convertible is letting you arm get above the windshield during a roll.

 

A guy at work's wife had her arm "degloved" when it was dangling out the window in a Ford Explorer rollover. They had to amputate it.
