Drifting
Sebring SM record is something like a 2:32. Not many guys can run under that on street tires much less R compounds.
Many show up thinking they are fast end up closer to 2:40+.
Yes there are a lot of very fast guys here that can run faster. I have seen sub 2:20 runs by other guys on the forum.
But since this is the internet & I can do it on a Playstation in 2:16, I guess that is how fast my car can do it.
SM records are a good solid goal at many tracks. Daytona is an exception to most things.

If you are a novice(as the OP seems to be) or with limited track time, if you can get withing 2-3 seconds of a Spec Miata track record at places such as Barber(1:45) you are a king dingaling.
EDIT
I got a $100 says you can't run a 1:30 at Barber, that's 15 seconds faster than the SM record there. Strap in tight................The NASA TTU/TTR record there is a 1:28.6, and that's F'n rollin there.(Unless you're Reese *** and own MTI).

EDIT
Why would I think my car which is under ST1/TT1 rules would be as fast as a TTU car record lap time, Looks like our own heavychevy on this forum here holds the TT1 record at Barber at a 1:31.8 in his Porsche turbo, so after I learned the track I would hope to get down close to that, which is about the same delta from 1:45.xx as I'm from the SM on miller outer loop being a longer track.
Ok enough about SMs on this poor guys thread who was just looking for a little direction to make his car better on a roadcourse.

Safety Car
The interesting item is that this same thread occurs over on the Porsche forums. Someone wants to turn their Porsche into a race car and fifty people tell them to go Miata.
