Miata Blew up at Track (VID INSIDE)

Went down to the track in Ennis last night. I think this guy blew his drive shaft. He had too many revs from the launch and just conked out. Fluid was all over the track, and the track was closed for about 45 mins.

I didn't get the launch, but you can here the announcer making a joke or 2.

the best my 3 point slow could muster was a 15.7 with the 65 shot....but i ran out of nitrous on that run....kinda defeated the purpose of why i went home to race....but i'll be back in full force this week hopefully
