Here is my 2013 ARRC Spec Miata full race video. Unfortunately around the 8 minute mark, I lost power to the Traqmate which shut off the in-car camera and I lost the shift light as well. Bumper Cam for the remainder gives some interesting video highlights.....
- The start is awesome with the bumper cam
- 13:30 to 19:00 has some pretty intense racing with lots of passing. Dan pushes Cliffy past me and Dan and I drive 4 turns side by side with Mark and Blake trying to get past too. Cliff opens up a lead in front of us. At the end of that lap Dan drops a wheel under the bridge at T11 and that lets Drennan get the run. Who would have thought that would have killed his momentum that much.
- 17:00 Mark Drennan gets the run and tries the pass on me but gets sideways in T10A and that allows me to get back by with help from Blake
- 18:00 I have my Dukes of Hazard moment trying to pass a lapped car on the outside of T5 and Blake almost bumps me while I am still recovering!!! Really looks awesome with the rear view camera, especially the end of that lap with Blake all over my bumper!
- 31:00 Cliffy catches the lapped car that takes him all the way to the left of the track. I get past the lapper through T10 and get under Cliffy and make the pass by T1. The lapped driver goes for a wild ride through T1 behind Cliffy.
- 32:30 Cliffy makes another pass attempt on the back straight and I manage to get it back going through T12 side by side again. This sets up the last lap.
- 34:30 Cliffy makes the pass on the back straight but the side draft keeps me in the hunt for an amazing finish
Huge shout-out to Cliff, Mark, Voytek, Blake, Andrew, Dan and the rest of the amazing Spec Miata class for putting on such a great show! Hard, clean wheel to wheel racing all weekend! Absolutely LOVE racing this class. Wish I could do it every weekend!!!
