Spec Miata Crash Videos

[FightAgainstWBC]

1:51 I don't know what's up with the car? LOL you just basically t-boned/flew over someone.

[Diller2]

5:21 get outta my way!

[zuzulo56]

How many fist-fights do these bastards get into in the paddocks?

[ItalkBoutStuff]

Were the 3rd and 4th clip VIR if you know?

[Slappy240]

@ItalkBoutStuff Sorry, wish i had an answer for ya, but i'm sure any Miata race forum could answer your question.

[ItalkBoutStuff]

@Slappy240 yeah miataforum. im actually 14 and my dad has a miata and is crazy about em and has got me intrested in them. I go to VIR about twice a year so just curiouse. could be road atlanta too

[vonjager]

@ItalkBoutStuff Yes. Both clips are after coming out of Oak Tree onto the back straight.

[ItalkBoutStuff]

@vonjager ah. the schrew. haha thanks

[wajalama]

HOLY FUCK, that Miata flew sideways at 4:46! :O

[yourekool]

@1;10. Flying Miata??

[trancedsailor]

why the fuck did that dude STOP on a racetrack at 0:44

[SubyReeves]

I actually worked on the corner where the incident at 4:44 happened. That corner at TWS gets alot of accidents

[Slappy240]

@SubyReeves Awesome! Scca corner marshal?

[SubyReeves]

@Slappy240

Yep, It was actually my first event as a corner worker. Tons of fun too, I worked on corner 3, You can see the station at the end of that accident on the right side. The exit to that corner is tricky, 1 wheel off track and you're screwed.

[Slappy240]

@SubyReeves Ha, crazy. I was just at NJMP this past weekend & was spectating the Vintage Grand Prix. Check out my blog tracktimetom.blogspot.com

[BetA666]

Thats the Spec Miata Crash Series...

Poor Miatas

[BetA666]

[Vishesss]

Yeap, i'm getting rid of my quick release.

[Slappy240]

@YouFuckingHipster Yea, like you could even attempt to be as good as them. Loser.

[jose7777777777777777]

Many were at VIR right?

[TheEggdude16]

4:47 What'd you say bout my momma? lozl

[EunosInUrFace]

Love how spec miatas look like a bunch of turtles racing and crashing. Makes me want to get in my miata and drive!

[XxHAL0xX]

AWR racing

[monono954]

the guy in the last part is awesome! Had major balls to just keep his foot on the gas like that

[radiohasfailedusall]

watch this to sober up my driving every few weeks...

[OMGItsWeasel]

such a great series

[blockheadface]

That's intense!! Must be a great category to race in though.

[drivingnirvana]

Racing drivers are brave motherfuckers. I would race too, just that I couldn't afford crashes, don't know how to work properly on a car or have the budget to go burning rubber every weekend. Good for those who do, though =)

[blueblue101]

gotta love the last one put the wheel back on....... and still get a smooth shift. good thing the wheel decided to come off after corner exit n he was straight. LUCKY BASTARD

[hovek]

Now I know why they call them Flyin Miata's....

[donutdrifter]

lol at the first one " Oh shit, shit!" nice driving tho to avoid it

[1g2002541]

4:45 Looks Funny

[2trips]

at 5:19 that was like something out of a cartoon. that's not what happens in real life! wow

i love that in the very first clip, the camera car has a huge crack in the windshield.

[AdamRW240]

Only in SM.

[teo829]

Beautiful clear and crisp cut video man. Awesome text narrating as well.

[wjhmh]

ZOOM, ZOOM, ZO.... (insert the sound of twisted metal).

[sleeksilver]

A lot of wrecks at VIR.

[MrHaun]

Lol. When miatas insta-fail.

Much love for spec racing.

[CliffCakes]

I didn't know Miatas stacked so well. This is the reason Im drive my Miata in ITA. Two seasons with no damage. knock on wood:)

[Barcode711]

Spec piñata

-GRM

[KrudRepublc]

"Here they go into turn one 23 wide..."

LOL

[Keisuke42]

::uninstalls removeable steering hub:: =P

[bikerdude23]

4:47 wtf is that car that light? haha the black car hits it and it goes flying

[2tallbrandon]

i have had my steering wheel come off in my dragster after launching!

[Burnoutss]

god you guys are ruff lol. good works, looks like fun ; )

[camarodue]

this has got to be one of the coolest miata racing videos ive seen.. well done

[n00bSLicer]

How much did the car cost you after all the modifications? How much does a race weekend cost?

I'm interested in getting involved. Thanks.

[threehonks77]

Spoon engine $30K

T66 turbos $20K

Motec exhaust $10K

A weekend will run you about a cool mill.

[badassxr50r]

lol hahaha motec exhaust lol!

[threehonks77]

lmao

[2tallbrandon]

lol ok paul walker

[threehonks77]

...or a 2JZ.

[psp4324]

fast and furious

lol

[Icepacalapse]

LOL.........drove my car home without the bolt in the steering wheel and would wait until someone in traffic looked over and then pop it off and juggle it for a second.

[mazdamaniac90]

hell yea!! TWS TEXAS baby! i was there with the Formula Mazdas. turn 1 is a BITCH

[res1qlbh]

I wonder how much money you need to do spec miata races...can someone give me price range....

[thalsem1]

25-40G I believe....but don't quote me.

[TrackratM3]

15 -20 g for a race ready car in decent shape. there are some with a few miles and a few brusies for under 8.

[naynay101hotdog]

I'm a Texas Miata driver! :D

[viragostarviper]

hard core

[StrokedP]

cant wait tyo get mine up and running, i guess i dont need to be so critical on the body.

[matredd]

I want my roll bar now!

[openwheel6]

At the very end! Oh he is so lucky.

[elvenhome21]

Ive had it where the universal on the steering box popped off coming out of the corner with concrete wall on the outside, thats even more scary then a wheel coming loose.

[bikemaniac125]

damn. lota smashed up miatas. having one it kinda makes me cringe. looks like a lot of fun though.

[T018]

Last one notice how he stayed in the gas while he reattached the wheel....

[SupraCelica98]

the ignition cut and did its job

[PositiveCholosVibes]

that was my favorite one, i love how he stayed calm through out the slight situation!

[dadsrag]

@T018 That's awesome, he didn't lift - first things first.

[jedgq2]

Yeah, I kind of thought that obtaining a SCCA regional license after a 3 day course seemed rather sudden. I plan on doing it though, I can't wait.

[SableRain]

Man, some of these are hilarious! I like the end where the steerin wheel comes off. It's always good to check that before you leave the pit, lol.

[jad1460]

Red miata (#49) at 5:50 it is obvious that this guy does not belong on a track...

[Slappy240]

Theres a company called Hard Dog that makes quality roll bars / cages for Miatas. Their actually recommended in Grass Roots Magazine.

[chelfing]

Great videos. Think I'd better get a rollbar fitted in mine....

[idlerumors]

That four time flip that landed right next to the car with the camera was my buddy's dad. He was describing it to me, but man seeing it in a video is something completely different.

[blackdakkon]

looks like fun.. wish i had a beater miata

[jba1995]

whats going on in the rear mirrors is almost as cool as whats going on in front of the driver.

[Slappy240]

I never noticed that!!!!!

[ephidapoon]

Man thats exactly what I was thinking

[WebbRacingdotcom]

Sigh; I miss my Spec Miata days...

[Slappy240]

Any videos?????

[Ej205scoob]

i never understood removable steering wheels. So dangerous if it comes off, guy was lucky it went back on.

[6feetunder29]

seeing as they all have rollcages with sidebars its near impossible to get in and out of the car without taking the wheels off

[max6669]

I want a Miata I am thinking of selling my 510

[leotmobile]

Damn the fly when they make contact! not secure :(

[MichaelCoolGuy86]

you should see when they flip.

[dye1337]

i couldnt help but laugh whenthe steeringwheel fell off

[infamouskillas]

@dye1337

i couldnt help but laugh at all the crashes rofl

[Tai0314]

To think I was going to join spec miata racing.

Screw it crashing looks fun!

[IamSuperMario]

wow miatas fly when they make contact

[wmguyz]

lmao... the sterring wheel.

[RaceVIdMan]

the racing with texans holy crap made me think my flyin miata was up high that was alot worse

[wasabir34]

PIR!

[veedubindahaus]

These races are the reason I want my Miata back.

[max5racing]

ha! love how he/she keeps their foot completely flat with no steering wheel attached!

[DA4LE]

"WATCH THE STEERING WHEEL"

LMAO!

[DinsdalePiranha67]

The shot where the driver avoids the flipping car is some pretty heads-up driving!

[ryanlong01]

Not really, he went where the car was heading rather than where it had already been. If he had gone right, it wouldn't have almost pinned him against the wall.

[30hourpunch]

yeah good job avoiding the rolling car, but you're supposed to aim for where the spin starts not where it is heading....amateurs!

[TheRumpledOne]

I agree 100% but you do not know if there was anything to the right of the driver that prevented them from going right!!

The driver avoided the crash... give credit where credit is due.

[SableRain]

Lol, it's spec miata. What do you expect?
