I love Thunderhill! Have you had a chance to drive the new section? Also, my Miata constantly sounds like its going to shake itself apart. I think it's just one of those Miata things haha.

I did 2 slow laps on it last year, but I haven't driven on it properly.
As for the sound, hahah yeah, I know what you mean, this one sounds fine though, it was the back cover on the GoPro, I explained it in the first comment :)

I've done a couple session of that side. The day I was there was really foggy (we couldn't see the corner workers!), so we only ended up getting in two sessions that day. Can't wait to go back and give it another try!

What is that horrible noise? Do you have a wheel bearing going bad?

No, it's just vibrations, I used the closed back cover for the GoPro since I left the open one at home by mistake. It's explained in the video's description, which I just figured it can't be read if you use reddit on a mobile client.

YouTube description in case this post is seen on mobile:

Easy/mild setup on a '90 ITA Spec Miata. Made a mistake on T6 which cost me some time.

Sorry for the audio, I used the wrong (closed) back cover on the GoPro since I left the open one at home by mistake, so you only hear vibrations, the car is and sounds fine.

I was there yesterday! I had a Fiesta ST in the solo Group

Oh nice, I was also on the Solo (G) group, I'm usually on Point by but made a mistake when registering. I don't remember seeing a Fiesta ST, so you probably where on Solo Y, hope you had fun.

I love that track.

I was in the G Group, we probably were on opposite ends of the track each time haha. I had a great time, This time I went out there with some Hawk DTC60 pads for my Wilwoods. Oh man did they bite with Zero Fade. I can't wait to get back out there with some fresh rubber.

Nice, yeah I bet we were, damn, that's a hell of a lot of stopping power for a Fiesta! Nice!
