Spec Miata — VIR North — Full Race — SCCA Endurance Race (ECR) — 9-Mar-2008
0 Comments | Posted by admin in club racing
Full race, including pace laps, at the Virginia International Raceway North Course. (There’s a motorcycle race on the South Course that you can see partway through the race.) This is an 45 minute “endurance race” with a mandatory 2 minute pit stop. Qualified badly, started mid-pack. Had a good scrap with my teammate, Henry Payne, in the red #22 Spec Miata. Was catching traffic when my clutch failed about 20 minutes into the race — sounds like a snowmobile CVT transmission! (I say “tranny” in the video, but it’s definitely clutch.) Pulled into the pits early to serve my pit stop and let the clutch cool down. Wasn’t much better after the pit stop, but I learned to be gentle on the throttle and match the revs on shifts to minimize the clutch slippage. I actually pull off some passes! No idea where I finished, near the bottom for sure. But now I know how to race a car with a slipping clutch!

Big Save at PIR, SCCA Spec Miata Drift Testing?
4 Comments | Posted by admin in club racing
Second session learning the track on old tires in Practice before the SCCA National weekend at Portland International Raceway. When you have very minimal seat time before an event, find the limits quickly where it is safe. This definitely isn’t a 4th gear corner! We were running without the chicane this weekend, 118mph (no draft) entry into the braking zone, not bad for a little Spec Miata. May 6-8/2011 www.brodygoble.com

Spec Miata PIR National Race 2, July 2011 – Part 1 (Full of Mistakes)
0 Comments | Posted by admin in club racing
Full of mistakes – too excited to run with the big boys at the front. This is our first National SCCA race, and third race ever in a car. Finished 5th/14 in Spec Miata, and 4th the previous day from a run from last place (didn’t qualify). Tons to learn from for the next one at Miller Motorsports Park in August/11!
