Managed to get the pole for race and led until about halfway point, when Matt McBride caught and passed me. We traded positions a few more times until he took the lead for good. Congrats Matt! Great race!

Spec Miata — No Clutch! — CMP — Partial Race — ECR — 16-Feb-2008
0 Comments | Posted by Guest Author in club racing
My teammate, Henry Payne, and I started and finished this entire race with NO CLUTCH. The master cylinder failed during qualifying, and I almost didn’t enter the race, but hey what’s the worst that can happen!? And as you can see in this video, I kinda got the hang of clutchless racing after a while, not that it’s fast — you just have to match the revs really well on both downshifts and upshifts. (It ends up slowing you down more on the upshifts, because you have to wait for the revs to drop before shifting, and these cars have the heavy, stock flywheel so that takes about a second per shift.) Henry had a different approach — he just left it in fourth gear most of the track! We checked the times, and they were pretty similar — and his approach probably tore up the transmission less. We finished dead last in our class, but we finished dammit! Partial race only. I killed the engine starting the car in the false grid — hard to start a car with no clutch! Anyhow, that engine kill cut the camera off, and I didn’t realize it until a couple laps into the race, had to reach back and start the videocamera myself. Same thing happened at pit change, so we don’t get to see Henry’s stint. Needless to say we fixed the clutch before the next race!

SCCA Spec Miata — VIR Full Course — Race Start + 2 laps

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!

16 year old Josh Bilicki’s second time in a race car, and first time driving at Road America. Qualified 26th, but by the time the race ended he worked his way up to 17th out of a total of 31 cars. Thanks to Wild Graphics in Waukesha Wisconsin

16 year old Josh Bilicki’s 2nd time in a race car, and first time driving a car at Road America. Started 16th overall, and 5th in class, worked his way up to 2nd in class, then the alternator broke so the car started sputtering and he couldn’t finish the race. Thanks to Wild Graphics out of Waukesha WI!
