I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

On this section the goal is to drive as fast as possible through a course marked with cones -- without hitting any.

It may look easy but trust me, it's like lighting your hair on fire and jumping down an elevator shaft. Everything happens very, very fast.
