Conway's Spec Miata is pretty fast... both Conway and Bitterdude were turning some nice 1:40 laps in it last time @ Big Willow.
btw... the last time I saw Conway driving an S2000 @ Big Willow... wuss was definitely not the word I would have used to describe it. (1:40 bone stock on bald S02s)
however... of you do like wussy driving... I'll be at this one on street tires.

Bitterman ran in the low 1:38.XX in my Spec Miata with not the best tires and we need shocks for it also. Reason I say it's faster then a Stock S2000 is because the about a year ago best laps I was able to turn in a stock 2001 S2000 with slightly bald SO2s was in the mid 1:39s but it was not on the same day. That was the day I passed that Radical in turn 8 on the big track and you guys where at the streets. I have to find that post, it was pretty funny.
The most impressive was little Oscar Jackson, 1st time on the track in my Spec at big willow turning mid 1:39s and this was the 1st time on a car track. He normally runs go-karts or front weel drive cars in Auto-X. Damn 18 year old kid over a second faster then me in my own car.
But I hear the top spec miata guys are in the low 1:37s or high 1:36s at willow (Not sure How, they must have cheater motors)
Bitterman was able to turn low 2:08s at Buttonwillow the last event running configuration 14 with the new buttonhook. I couldn't get under 2:10s as I kept screwing up the new buttonhook (never drove the new buttonhook) and was having a hard time turing into the essess as I'm use to going to star mazda turn.
Anyway we will be out there next weekend at Big Willow...I'm hoping I have enough time to prepare for it and make Carne Asada...If I do please come over and have some.
