LIVE Timing from Road Atlanta

The 8hr Enduro is currently underway...

[tony senese]

After 4 hours, Drago is in 11th overall.... not sure who all the the SM's are, (Drago is in a MX-5 or SM5 I think)... Oh wait update, he is 9th overall at the 4 hour 25 minute mark.

I thought JPD was trying out his new-build SM.

Question...... How many Spec Miata's are running Santa's Toy Run.....

Answer......How many cars is Brian Domont driving today!!!!!!!

[tony senese]

I thought JPD was trying out his new-build SM.

T&S shows his SM #2 ran 12 laps. Best time 1:49, not so fast. Maybe Jim was just breaking the motor in!

[tony senese]

Fowler and Hart, P6 overall, (top SM was P5 last year and we were 6th senese-curran-figarsky) so go Tom's show them who's boss!

[john mueller]

5:55:55 into it

• P7 #65 Tom Fowler / Tom Hart
• P8 #14 Drago / Todaro / K.Webb (I think this is Kyles car which he put on the 2012 NASA Nats PTE podium)
• These two are on the same lap, 5 laps down from P6.

Anyone know of other SM drivers & what cars they are in ??

I doubt during the enduro putting that amount of time on the motor. I think he will be driving his new ride during the weekend race(s).

[john mueller]

I thought JPD was trying out his new-build SM.

He was/did... Only 12 laps in the #2, then jumped into the #14.
I'd not be surprised if he took it back out for a few more laps before the 8hrs are done. Enduros are perfect for shake-downs.

E3 class coming down to the 2003 of Drago vs the 1991 of Fowler! 10 minutes to go with Drago in the lead, BARELY

[tony senese]

Oh no, Drago must have had an issue, Fowler leading E3 on lap 233. 9 minutes to go.

[tony senese]

Drago, 34 seconds back...... 7 minutes to go.

[tony senese]

Pending T&S changes, Fowler and Hart win E3 class in an OLD miata!

[Keith Andrews]

Hey, great to have the live timing and scoring for this event. Congratulations to team Tom! Good luck this weekend, it should be great weather.

Had a tiny car issue before the race started fixed that and got on the track 2 laps down to begin with and we fought our way back. Drago got us back to P1 before he brought it in with 1:25 left, I got in the car with a full tank of fuel and ran all but 4 laps in full out fuel conserve mode. I caught Fowlers car, driven by Tom Hart with about 6 laps to go and followed him for about 3laps before they started yelling on the radio that I had to hurry and get the pass done, so passed him on that lap and pulled out about 20 car lengths on him. then I went into T7 and the car whipped right out from under me, I figured I had a corded tire, so I gathered up and ran all the way to 10a with Hart on my bumper got through 10a just fine and hit 10b with the gas to the floor, again the car shot out from under me saved it and still had the lead but I knew right then I had a flat tire. so I had to concede the lead to Hart coming down the hill and I barely made it through T12 alive. They gave the white Flag and I figured I could limp it back around for the finish, which I barely did, tire had a big puncture right through the middle. Congrats to Fowler and Hart, they drove a real mistake free race! The win would have been nice but p2 was pretty damn good for starting 2 laps down and finishing with a flat tire and the fuel light having been on for 2 laps!

We drove my 2003 car that is on the site to be sold. It is one hell of a car, cant beleive for 16k that someone hasnt snapped it up. Even Drago was pretty impressed, by the way it performed out there.

Big thanks to my Team Mates Drago and Todaro, we had a friggin blast, lots of light hearted laughs and some fun racing. Todaro, gave up his last stint in the car so that we could go for the WIN, that was very selfless, and much appreciated!

Thanks to OPM for all the great food, great laughs, incredible pit service even though they were our competitors, and real great sportmanship and fine driving!
Special thanks to Tracy, the sandwich saved my life, might not have been able to finish without it.


Thanks to 5Xracing for getting the hawk blues over to me just in the nick of time for the event!
Thanks to East Street for providing so many of the great performance parts on the car!

I was watching T&S and was wondering what happened. Sounds like a lot of fun and a great race! Nice job by everyone!

[FTodaro]

It was all Drago and Kyle, this was my first time at this track, my first lap ever, I am getting pased by two car going under the bridge going i into t12 and had no clue where the track went. Was a blast even thought I almost left Drago a present in the seat.
