This is THE most mental race I’ve had so far! Side by side everywhere (and not just because the other guy is blocking me, like in the past, but because we are really fighting), lead swaps, and one of the closest photo finishes in a while. Awesome race! See the start and then jump to 9′15″. After that it’s wheel to wheel all the way to the end.

SCCA Spec Miata Race Thunderhill 4/1/2012

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.

2012-04-21 – Spec Miata Engine Explodes on the Track – Barber Rezoom Event
2 Comments | Posted by Guest Author in club racing
My stock 1.8L with 92K miles on it explodes on the Barber track. Luckily I did not get charged for oil cleanup (Barber is really strict in terms of giving you a bill for any cleanup or damage to their facility – but it is a nice track). This was a stock engine except the timing wheel had been adjusted per the SM rules for 1.8L. There was a hole in the block for number 4 cylinder and bits of piston head had come out the hole. I will take the engine out and examine the damage more closely. But now I need a new engine

16 year old Josh Bilicki qualifying at Milwaukee Mile infield. Josh qualified 3rd in Spec Miata and 7th overall with a 1.24.9 lap time.
A local Autocross event by SCCA. Best time was a 36.2 and it was in the top 5 for the day. I have Track day video at Barbers Motorsports in Birmingham, Alabama and i will post it up someday.
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. Highlights: 3:00 Car has spun into the pit lane driver’s left 5:50 Car driving through the mud on the outside of T14/15 6:10 Another car slides through T14 9:35 The monsoon starts, everyone starts hydroplaning 9:53 I do a solo pirouette in T1
