Awesome turn out really wish I had a car to be there with. Looks like a very strong field! With be glued to live timing. Rooting for my west coast team mate Mr. Drennan. I expect him moving forward.

I don't think SM7 stickers are a must. I ran 3 heat cycle tires on the 01 in STL, and 2 heat cycle tires on the 99 in SM.

Some are choosing to sticker up each session, possibly out of habit. But then I haven't been paying attention to who has SM6 and who has SM7.

[JRHille]

For me the SM7 felt much better on their 2nd heat cycle this morning fwiw.

Justin - Did you start the race on stickers?

[JRHille]

I started on SM7s with 2 heat cycles

Why did this race end before the 30 minute mark?  I thought it was a 30 minute race.

[Bench Racer]

Says 30 minutes. Berry had a total time of 28:40.870.

Congrats to Craig, Alex and Selin for their podium finishes. And to Justin Hille for an amazing run for a guy not familiar with the track.

 

Drago got loose in T1. I got my car sideways in front of Blake in T5 and he had nowhere to go and tapped my rear and I went off on drivers left, restarted in 15th and made my way back to 9th. All the front runners looked close in terms of performance, very little to choose from, other than Craig who slowly pulled away, but Alex was closing at the end, but from Craig's last lap I suspect that he had a bit in hand.

 

Congrats to Alex for the new lap record of 2:35.438. Seven drivers were in the 2:35's so the race was significantly better than last year. Blake Clements is on a mission this season, and he and his car are working well together. Steady Leverone once again moves his way to the front. Carlos Gutierrez is quick and great to see back in this class.

 

Andrew Charbonneau missed the start, started from pit row behind 68 other drivers, and forged his way forward to end up in 19th place in the 11 lap race. Pretty impressive.

What a fun race! Alex and I had an amazing few laps, passing 2 or 3 times per lap, inches apart but never touching. My car was really good for the first 3 laps, then started to loose grip. I started the race on my second to last set of sticker 6's.... After watching how much better Alex was handling as the laps went by, I think 7's may be better for the length of the race. I am going to try 7's tomorrow.
I would like to thank Drago for a GREAT car.....runoffs car with a new wiring harness.... liked it then and now. Thanks to my Dad for 44yrs of support. Thanks to Robert Lloyd for all the hard work and smart decisions. Thanks to all the E-Street guys, Ricky and York. My team mates Jim, Eric, (missing Pat) and Carlos. Also, I would like to say thanks, and how cool it is to be involved with the all the drivers and crews involved with Spec Miata, what a great group.
Looking forward to tomorrow

H2Os may be the choice tire for tomorrow

He and many more in the field were so fast they broke through the time-space continuum.

Laps or time--- I think....
