2nd Gen JCW Finished with my build... thought I’d stop in and say hi...

LOL, no...lol, I had been running solo for 2 days with track days in the black advanced group. On the third day, it was the Mazda group and since they didn’t know me, they wanted to do a sign off drive with an instructor.

The instructor was 250’ish, got in my car and asked if this was my track car or street car.

I told him it was my daily driver and he responded with “oh no, I can’t do that... the last time I was in a car that was a DD, it got totaled”

We made it one lap.

Hit the inside edge of the gator (which I had been doing for two full days) and with his weight, the car bottomed out and ....

well, the rest is history.

EDIT: Now, I’m not blaming him for my driving but buddies that were at the track said that when I came off the gator, you could see the car bottoming out which it had never done before, the only thing that was different was my “added weight”. All I know is when your car is corner weighted and setup for one person, I’m keeping it that way....

 

Yeah, I didn’t say he was too fat, he was just too much weight for my setup.
