That's flying!

 

Good luck Dan! Building megasquirts and watching champs.

 

Announcers: "Whats cool about spec miata is there is no way to outspend your competition, very fair racing"

....

yeah....

 

Comically inaccurate. lulz
Paradoxically, Maxxis Cup Supermiata can, and has been won by <$12k builds.

 

Its crazy how close the front run together. Look like they are hitched together.

 

Race starts in 1 min.
30mph winds kicking up. Gnarly

 

Wind is crazy. Can't even see the end of the front straight.

 

Whats the talk of the winner in PTE in a mazda getting a shot at some sort of mazda team?

 

What happened to newmark?

 

National champions from SCCA and NASA in Mazda powered cars get invited to a Mazda shootout. Winner of that shootout wins a paid drive in MX5 cup for one year. You also have to demonstrate some self promotional and marketing chops to win.

Looks like Newmark didn't take the green. Bummer. He was way faster than Ricky Johnson.

 

Dick move from some spec-z's knocking the other PTE guy off the track.

Wooo, keep it up Dan.

 

Oh man. Dan's last two laps were really slow. I hope he hasn't hurt the car somehow. Justin's closing down fast, 7s with about 5 laps to go.

 

Oh geeze, this is way closer than I expected. Are there radio comms with the driver?

 

YES!!!

 

What a perfect time for the motor to let go. Wow, that got me on the edge of my seat.

Congrats Dan!

 

Looks like Dan lost a motor, trans diff or something. Was smoking last few laps. Justin was 1.5s behind Dan at the checkered. Another lap and it would have been over. Wow.

 

Hats off to Justin Ross on a great drive to recover from a back row start to nearly win it.

 

Way to hold in there Dan. Can't wait to hear the whole story.

 

As a nice side dish, Dan all but wrapped up the TTE title as well. One more session remaining but the heat and wind preclude any times faster than this morning. No one in TTE was close to him anyway.

 

Got there too late to see it, glad there's a rewind button. Awesome. Sometimes luck is on your side!
