Trailing an instructor is a great way to learn the line and braking points. As was pointed out, the Miata will not hold you up. I have taken the Skip Barber course at Laguna Seca and was blown away by how hard it was to keep pace with the Mazda. The straights are actually a bit boring until you get to the end and see how far into the corner these guys place their braking points. Scary as hell the first few times into the corkscrew, where it seems like you are going to launch into the trees.

Have fun and don't bend anything!
