She says it stays pretty flat through transitions but needs more stick..




Launching...




getting ready for her next run


LOL. The 949 racing sticker(miata shop) really gave it the edge.

See can start in carts at age 5 for SCCA. I'm just saying. We had a kid that just turned 5 that did his first race. It was so cool as he was giving dad high fives after the first run.

Very cool 02Z06.

I gave my son the same present,... although his first autocross was a full 3-hr classroom instruction, then out on the course with 4 separate zone sections setup for threshold braking, circular skid pad, slalom, etc,.. then cone movement to pull all 4 together into a timed track where they got 5 runs. All day event for $45. Can't beat that kind of instruction & experience for that price (PCA).

But I was unwilling to give him said present,... until he was 20 yrs old. He needed 4 yrs just to get his driving under control as a teenager. Wrecked a 4Runner, bumped & bruised his '69 Camaro,... all unexpected events for a teenager that thinks he's all-that-&-then-some. Once reality set in, the DAD was Ok to let him use the 958 CTT w/ PDCC. Whew. All went well,.. and now he's a much more "concerned" driver.
