2023 FARA Race Of Champions Pro Spec Miata Qualifying Race
มุมมอง 1948 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is without a doubt one of my most memorable races. First because FARA made us lowly Spec Miata drivers the star of the show all weekend. Secondly, I passed Noah Harmon and Nick Leverone on the last lap. Thirdly, I beat my best lap by over 1.2 seconds. Forthly, I was dropped by the lead pack and was able to bridge the distance by sending it like I've been told to do. Special thanks to my so...

A Terrible qual had me in the danger zone for the sprint and feature. Started 11th for sprint and finished 11th. Started 13th for feature and finished door to door with Noah Harmon edging me by only .008 of a second for 5th and 6th.

I am running Hoosiers for the first time in over three years. I was told there is a learning curve to be fast on them after running the toyo's for so long. I tired to be a fast learner in qual but could only manage P5 to start the feature. As the race wore on I got more comfortable and was able to set the fastest lap of the race. I'll take a moral victory if I can't get the W.

My differential exploded during qual, so I had to sit out the sprint race. Huge thanks to my wife for traveling 2 1/2 hours to bring me the parts to fix the car. The race is only twenty minutes as we had a lightning delay. The race started wet but the track was dying. At the half way point, I found myself 5 seconds back from the leaders, it was time to put down some good laps.

As I am sitting on grid, I notice our best driver on Toyo's is not in his grid spot and misses the roll out. This leaves me the soul defender of the greatness of the Toyo Racing Tire over the "faster" Hoosiers. Watch for the missed shift going into the Bus Stop where I lose the draft. I had to send it every lap if I had any hopes of catching up.

Top three in CFR and SARRC points showed up and we had a blast pushing each others limits. The two young whipper snappers and the old guy (me) lap times were within a tenth of each other with a new track record being set on many laps...
