Spec Miata crash at Buttonwillow
This is the first time I’ve had contact on a race track. Someone up front missed a shift and we all bunched up. I tried to get the car stopped but didn’t really have anywhere to go. Neck is sore, car has a bent frame (in front of the front suspension). After spending some time removing some bent brackets and broken plastic bits, it does look like it will live to see another race day.

Oh no! How fast were you going?

I was already in 3rd gear when I hit and only had just a second to brake, so I figure I was probably going 50+mph when I hit him…
