My short race. I was having a good race with Cliff in the white car in front of me. My tires got a bit too hot and slippery. I was contemplating dialing it back to try and let the tires cool and then…. spin! Screwed up the front end pretty good.

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!

Passing a LOT of cars in the opening laps — I had to start at the back for some reason, probably had a problem with qualifying. The red #22 Spec Miata is my teammate, Henry Payne.

This is the full race, from just before the “1 minute whistle” on the grid, including pace laps. Click here www.youtube.com if you want to skip to the start. This was my first race on this track, first race on a high-banked track ever, which was quite an experience. I qualified 6th, had a good battle with red #92 Spec Miata before he dropped out due to mechanical difficulty, and made a few mistakes near the end. I won’t spoil the finish, but places 1 – 4 were separated by maybe 2 seconds.

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!
