2018 SCCA Club Trials Opens up with Double Points at Cresson

The 2018 season will officially open up for me this coming weekend, January 27th and 28th at Cresson, Texas in the Club Trials with SCCA.  I do plan to run in more of these events in 2018.  The plan is to enter the Miata in as many of them as possible in the Street 2 Class.  Here is a short video of a few laps on a very cold December day in 2016.  This was my first time to get the Miata out on the track and I loved it.  I returned a month later and set a PB of 1:33.125.  It will be interesting to see how things go this time around, as I will have been familiar with the track and CCW layout, but will also be running on a different tire this year (The Continental Max Summer Tire).  More to come after the event.

Most Satisfying Autocross Run of 2017 Season

First post on the Blog, thought I would start from the end of the 2017 season.  This run is in my good friend Phil Elmore's 2001 Mazda Miata SE (British Green).  I have a passenger with me in the car, but really was able to nail the line for this Autocross layout at Texas Motor Speedway Infield Road Course.  This Miata was really feeling good on this track.  It's a 6 speed, and we are wound up here with momentum in 3rd gear most of the way around the circuit.  Curtis Frisbie is in the passenger seat with me and we are having a good time at the end of the run.
