VIR Full Course — SCCA Spec Miata — Race Start + 2 laps — 28-Oct-2008 VIR is my favorite track. I’m qualified 6th. I’m a lousy qualifier — need someone to chase! Had a great race, but went off-track on the last lap battling for 2nd. Ended up finishing 5th. Car is a ‘92 Spec Miata 1.6L, still has glass in the doors, head-lights, heater, a crate motor, a trailer hitch for pulling a tire trailer, and a current license plate!

October 2011, Sunday race, giving some spec Miatas a run. The high banked turns are a bit intimidating with my 10″ tires, at around 100 mph!
Some highlights from Car 61, Skip Brock, at the May 28, 2011 SARRC Spec Miata race at Carolina Motorsports Park.
This is my second Spec Miata Race. I started in last place (23rd) after a DNF on Saturday. I finished 7th after passing 16 cars. You will see hand signals between myself and other drivers showing how we work together to catch up to the next group of cars. I can’t think of a better way to practice race craft. Thanks to Rush Motorsports for a very capable car.
This was my first Spec Miata race. I started 5th and got a great start but lost several positions when the leader I was bump drafting forgot to shift to 5th gear. I managed to make my way back to 3rd place but I flat spotted the tire in the process. This ultimately lead to the flat tire that ended my race. Watch how the lead drivers hook-up together to run away on the banking.
