Seems like bumper cars out there, I mean I get the whole "rubbin in racing" thing, but a few of those crashes it is like the drivers have no idea where any of the other cars are at on the track. And being spec you would think that you ALWAYS have cars around you /shrug
Hope no one was hurt in all of that mess, I can't afford to play in the w2w arena so maybe my take on the video is skewed ...

Maybe because you like the idea of racing against lots of other drivers with varying degrees of ability (some of them maybe you are actually better then) vs. racing against the only 3 cars in your class that showed up. 2 of which you have no chance to be competitive against and 1 that doesn't stand a chance against anybody.
Get out there and race in a spec class like SRF or SM and you will soon find out that the guys in the front, are really really good.
Of course, we didn't see the guys in the front wreck, did we?

5ft above the wall!
OMG!
OMG!
Here's a friend of mine going airborne at Summit Point at the start of a race this year. The full version with sound is available, but my friend expresses himself in a way that CF might not appreciate
After the tire wall, he does more than 360 deg in mid air before settling down.

I think people that say this have never raced Spec Miata (or anything else).
Yes, the crashes are quite spectacular. However, there is much more close racing going on throughout the entire field that far outweights the number of crashes, and that makes this class a whole lot of fun.

I am sure I enjoyed this much more than the people in the tapes Again it makes me not want to go back to the track with no cage next year when I get it back together.
