My NA6C vs. a Spec Miata. It was a lot of fun to say the least.

Here are a few laps from each of my four races this past weekend… Two spec miata races and two ITA races. Surprisingly I managed to earn myself four podium finishes! Saturday: Finished 3rd in the Spec Miata race. Finished 3rd in the ITA race. Sunday: Again finished 3rd in the Spec Miata race. Again finished 3rd in the ITA race. So the 3rd place Spec Miata finishes weren’t much of an accomplishment… in addition to finishing 3rd I was also 2nd to last. That’s what I get in a 4 car field …

Tracking the Spec* Miata at the Streets of Willow Springs. May 7th, 2009. It was a private Live Sockets-organized event. Check out the badass editing and stuff haha, it’s my first time actually “editing” a video. Lame. It was fun passing faster cars, but I only got in a few clean laps with no traffic. It’s been forever since I was on Streets (The Miata’s never seen Willow actually), and had to do a few laps to remember the track and the line. Can’t wait to start doing Miata Challenge or some …

Here are several laps from my 3rd NASA race. I don’t have much racing experience (still on my rookie license) but still managed to qualify 15th out of 22 cars, and ended up finishing 15th. I lost 5th gear on the day before but still managed to do okay with only 4 gears. This race track is a ton of fun!
