After a very long season where the lead changed multiple times and the season championship was not decided until the last race, congratulations to Sebastian Landy on his Championship. First runner up is Tim Jacobs who had a chance to to win during the last race where a mechanical failure interrupted any remaining chance.  Second runner up Nick Bruni lead early in the season and due to some unfortunate finishes saved his season to stand on the podium with the others.
 
Congratulations to all.

Congrats guys!  Very competitive series.  See you at the 13 hour?

This year was special as there were two SARRC/MARRS meetings (VIR & Charlotte), and it's always a hoot hanging out with all of the MARRS folks.  Looks like it will be the same in 2014.  Anyway, I hate getting beat on track by teenagers, but Sebastian is a truly class act with maturity well beyond his years, and an incredible talent behind the wheel, wet or dry.  When he had is wreck at Charlotte, he stood up on top of the tire wall as the field came by on the next lap under yellow and waved to the field just to let everyone know he was OK.  Very cool.
 
Congrats to Both Tim and Nick on their great runs as well.  Both are on their game, and Nick, in particular impresses me on his ability to run his 1.6L (or 1.7L as Lamb likes to call it) consistently up front.  Not so impressive on the uphill esses at VIR, however... sorry man
 
Bring your A-game to next year's SARRC/MARRS races boys.... the SARRC has had an influx of some new young talent this season.  We'll be counting on them to show the MARRS boys they ain't at Summit Point anymore.  
 
Well done!

Congrats to all!

What a crazy year it's been! After missing the first three MARRS races I never even thought that the year could have ended the way it has. I’ve got more people to thank than I can probably remember, but first and foremost I have to thank my Dad, for all he’s done to allow me to get this far. I’ve got to thank my brother for being the reason that I race and for being the greatest teammate known to man! Big thanks to Dan Tiley, Dan your car was magnificent for me all year and I have you to thank for that. It’s been a pleasure to race with you this year, both at Charlotte and at VIR. Racing this year has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and it’s made me grow as both a driver and a person. I know that they don't check this site that often so they might not see this, but I wish I could have been there this weekend to thank Tim, Nick and Neil, and everyone in the MARRS Spec Miata group, in person for a great year of very competitive racing.

We check the site more than you think Sebastian, we are just stealth like. Congrats dude, its was great racing with you this season. You owe me a huge thank you since i drained all the oil out of Tims motor before the sunday race securing your championship.

[Neil O]

Congrats Sebastian, you were fast all year.  I would race side by side with you anywhere.  Hope to see you and Forest next year.  

 

 

Jed.... LOL..  and I just thought you were in our paddock to drink beer and eat.

Congrats Sebastion!  You deserve it, drove great all year.  Had you been at this last race I wouldn't have even had the opportunity to race for the championship.  Like Neil said above you, and your brother, are two of the cleanest racers out there.  I hope you both are back next year, a little slower but back.   

 

The MARRS series is as competive as it gets, you and the car need to be on your game to have a shot at it.  Unfortunately with multiple DNF's it's a tough hole to climb out of.  Guess it's time to build a new car, the old one just has had a little too much love.  As was pointed out in the driver's meeting.

Just as an FYI to those not in the MARRS series, at the series finally race the top twelve qualified within six tenths of a second, yes 12 cars within .6.

[David L]

Congrats Sebastion, Great season, also a great season in MX-5 cup, sorry to see the race get cancelled on Sunday but hell of a qualifiying effort. 

 

Also Congrats to David Wible on a Dominating season in SSM. And all the SSM'ers for one hell of a weekend, some epic battles in which the memories and videos will last until April.

[Todd Lamb]

Congrats to Sebastian - gotta be good to win a championship without even showing up for the last race!

 

Tough luck for Tim - good fight to the end though.

 

I had a blast hanging out with the MARRS folks this season - I'm sure we'll be back for some fun next year.

 

Thanks to Glenn and Meathead!

 

Onward to the 13hrs....

[G.Obadia]

Congrats to the Landy family. Nice people and clean racers.

[Forrest Landy]

Congratulations to all who raced in the series this year. Hopefully we make it to the 13 hour for some more fun! Thanks for a great season of close clean racing from everyone. I have no complaints of any of the MARRS drivers and will race with them any day. Save maybe one, who really needs to slow down.....

[N Bruni]

Congrats Sebastian!!  You drove one heck of a season!  I look forward to racing with you in the future and I think you know by now that I'll go side by side with you just about anywhere on track. 

 

Tiley it was great having the opportunity to race against the SARRC guys this season, I look forward to seeing what new talent is coming out of the south!
