SCCA Spec Miata Race Thunderhill 4/1/2012
2 Comments | Posted by Guest Author in club racing
SCCA SFR Spec Miata race at Thunderhill on April 1, 2012. I qualified 10th, and had a decent start. We played a bit with tire pressures and must have gone the wrong way, because the car was pretty loose. I was trail-braking deep into T11 to try and get a run on the 44 car into T14 when he brake-checked me a bit, and I got sideways trying to avoid him. Took to the grass and lost a bunch of spots. After that, the car didn’t seem quite as fast. About 15 minutes in, I started noticing a vibration. Not long after that, coming through T14, it got a lot worse. Going on to the front straight, the diff let go and put an end to the day.

NHMS fastest lap in qualifying. 1.15.886. The lap record counts only during a race (which I did the next day, 1.16.26).

2012 Spec Miata Tropical Endurance Series – PBIR
1 Comment | Posted by Guest Author in club racing
Qualified on pole at a 1:34.9, and had fast lap of the race at a 1:35.3. Driving the BSI/SB Motorsports #21 Spec Miata with codriver and car owner Keith Bass in the Tropical Endurance Series. Keith started the race and I finished after our pit stop at the 35 minute mark. This is the last few laps, chasing down the Autotechnik car for P2 in class. I catch him on the last lap of the race (which I didn’t know, I didn’t have radio contact with my crew), but slide a little too wide and leave the door open… A mistake I won’t make again!

Highlights from the SCCA Spec Miata race at Thunderhill on March 31, 2012. The rain made this an interesting race. I missed qualifying due to a problem getting through tech (expired belts) on qualifying day. Started at the back and worked my way about halfway through the field.
