I don't think the chicane would be as annoying as that yelow road block... :shock: Next time give them the chrome horn... :wink:

As a Corvette driver I can attest to the fact that there are some Vette drivers on the track that are use to controled "parade laps' on a track. It appears that was one of them. What he should have done was let you pass and maybe he might have learned something about the track and the lines by following you. A little more HP and you could have taken him.

I think this pretty much typifies "Miata hell".

Does EMRA / LRP use passing flags?

it looks like he was given the flag at 2:11 into the video .
it's a classic newbee thing they drag race down the straights and tip toe thru the turns missing the apex and needless braking .
no matter if the corner worker gave a flag or not what the driver in the slower car should have done is just let the Miata by and learn his line and braking points .

They do have passing flags Mark if you watch the flag man after the left hander you'll see it. The wrong one.
