Spotter's Guide To The August 2016 Road&Track

For the second month in a row, I have the cover story at R&T. When I consider the fact that I began reading this magazine a full thirty-nine years ago, it's almost too humbling and upsetting to consider. I hope that I'm giving the five-year-old (and the fifty-five-year-old) car nuts of 2016 something they'll enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed sitting in my local library and devouring the 1977 issues.
The Ferrari/Miata article isn't all I have in this issue, however. There's a truncated-for-print version of my autocross vs. trackday article that appeared on the Web back in May.
If you're in an airport and you have six bucks burning a hole in your pocket, now's the time to buy Road&Track, if only for the outstanding photos of Max Prince. What a handsome devil. But not to worry, you discerning ladies who prefer your men with a little more wear and tear on 'em; check out who's standing in front of the Guggenheim with the Spider in the two-page center spread!
