The introduction to "Button" our 1999 Mazda Miata Track Build – NASA PTE/TTE Race Car Setup

Background

First, a little background:

From 2006 through 2015 I had an NA that made the gradual transition from sole transportation, to local CSP ringer, to HPDE car, to TTE/D car. I used nearly 100% plug and play, bolt on solutions for everything. There was nothing custom about the car.

Ultimately it ended up as a BP4W swapped, NB subframe/rack/spindle swapped, sport brake'd, door bar'd, 142whp, 800/500 Xida'd, 4.77 OsGiken'd, lexan top'd beastly little street car.

But, due to the sheer number of miscellaneous(ricer) modifications, the car ended up in D on points and I was severely outgunned. ~140whp@2550lbs on 225 NT01s outgunned.

Track Performance

Fastest ever Mid Ohio lap in this car was a 1:42.9. Set with the aero and 205 SM6.

Follow along as we continue building, refining, and pushing this 1999 Miata to its limits in NASA PTE and TTE competition.
