This is the Thursday qualifying race for Spec Miata at NASA Nationals. I qualified well in the rain at 9th, but a bad set of Toyo’s put me back to 18th. It felt like I was looking out of my side windows more than the fronts.

NASA Spec Miata at Thunderhilll 08-14-2011. Had a terrible qualifying session and started 17th. We had 2 aborted starts, apparently the Spec E30 wave couldn’t figure out how to do a proper standing start. The SM start was a bit of a mess as the leaders kept accelerating and then checked up just before the green. Made up a few spots and ended up 11th.

Soren of Miata Specialists offered me a go in one of his spec Miata race cars. It was my first time driving a momentum car at the track and he coached me a bit on the line, and how to control a vehicle that doesn’t have more than enough power – unlike the Z06 that I normally track.

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.
