It’s been almost a year since I’ve been on a racetrack! Was glad to be out to Auto Club Speedway this past weekend for some fun in my spec miata. With some drafting help from John MI qualified 6th out of 16 cars. In the race I made some dumb mistakes and lost a few positions, but overall it was a ton of fun. Finished 10th! Here are some highlights.

Time: 42.95 sec. First time at an auto cross. Did pretty well considering I only have about 110-115whp and same on torque. Original engine with 271581 miles on it. Just intake, headers and exhaust. Except for a couple of civics everyone had more HP than I did. The fastest cars of the day were running between 38 – 41 sec. Driving was difficult with the stock steering (3.2 lock to lock) and lack of power. Also my tach was not working.

This is the first time I’ve had contact on a race track. Someone up front missed a shift and we all bunched up. I tried to get the car stopped but didn’t really have anywhere to go. Neck is sore, car has a bent frame (in front of the front suspension). After spending some time removing some bent brackets and broken plastic bits, it does look like it will live to see another race day.
