I made a last minute decision to race at Sebring this past weekend (called Tom Fowler at OPM on Wednesday and asked if he had a rental car available. Tom graciously let me drive the car he had registered).
This was a great weekend of clean racing and fun in the sunshine. The usual suspects from Florida were present and accounted for (Charboneau, VanVurst, Bolanos, Rollan, Collum, LaBounty, Mason, et al) as well as quite a few snow birds dodging the blizzard up North (Leverone, Mills, Gregg, Moen, Rothstein, Gee). Jim Pace was under the OPM tent giving invaluable advice. A lot of SE Div regulars were racing, too. 56 Spec Miatas started Race 1.
Race 1 had Collum on the pole followed by Bolanos, LaBounty, Leverone, and Jerry Garcia a/k/a Charbs. The finish was
1.LaBounty
2. Bolanos
3. Jerry Garcia
4. Leverone
5. Machavern
6. Rollan
Garcia got busted by the Cops so everyone moved up a position.
I was too far back to catch the action up front (a faulty cam sensor in qualifying) but here is my video where I moved from P38 to P24. Thanks to OPM and TiSpeed for a quick car!
Race 2 was gridded on Finish position in Race 1.
Finish Order of Race 2 was
1. Rollan
2. Collum
3. Bolanos
4. Leverone
5. Lowrance
Here is my video where I managed to go from P24 to P14 before the yellow flag finished the race. I think if we had one more race, I might have been on the podium!
Thanks to all for a weekend of clean racing and good fun in the sunshine. Tom Fowler and the OPM gang exorcised my electrical gremlins and I had a good car for all of the races.
