Hi guys

I thought you might like to see the closing laps of the second Spec Miata race at PBIR in January this year (the weekend following the Sebring Majors)

Van Vurst and Bolanos pull away from Steyn, but when Bolanos starts challenging for the lead, this allows Steyn to catch up. Lapped traffic also helps close the gap. Last two laps Steyn and Bolanos go two side through several corners (with a little contact).

If you don't have 13 minutes to watch the last 8 laps, skip forward to the 10:00 minute mark - lots of fun from there on. All the side by side racing allows Nick Leverone and Selin Rollan to get right back on our bumpers

Note that the track is so abrasive and the tires get so grained that 15 laps into the 23 lap race, it literally feels as if you have a flat and you are riding on the rims. It is such a strange feeling in the wheel.
