Spec Miata WAR at the 2023 SCCA Runoffs at VIR.

The Spec Miata race at the 2023 SCCA Runoffs at VIR was my 500th race, and I was hoping that it might yield my 200th victory, but I knew that was a big ask. With the help of my team mate, Chuck Mactutus, I qualified on pole for the 52-car field, and was one of the fastest guys throughout testing and qualifying. Unfortunately, while we did contend for the win, both of us were knocked off the track by others, and had to fight back to move up. I was fortunate in the end, to contend for the podium, but finished 4th behind Preston Pardus, Nick Bruni and Brian Henderson I cannot thank Mike Rossini enough. His engines are fantastic. I have qualified on pole 18 times out of 33 races this year, and we won the Spec Miata Hoosier Super Tour Championship. Thanks Mike I couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks to Tom and Tracy Fowler and the OPM team of Tristan Hartwell and Andres Mendoza. Danny Puskar at G-Loc brakes for their amazing stopping power. Marc Cefalo at Planet-Miata.com for the gearboxes and differentials. Tim Gilvin, Big John and the entire team at Hoosier Racing Tire. Josh Smith and the team at Mazda Motorsports and of course all my good friends at the SCCA who put on this amazing event - we salute you! On the motor racing front I compete in SCCA and NASA events around the USA. I race both Spec Miata (SM) and Super Touring Lite (STL) cars. My cars are prepared by OPM Autosports in Atlanta, my SM is powered by Rossini Racing Engines, my STL is powered by Nelson Racing Engines, and both cars are stopped courtesy G-Loc Brake Pads, with contingency support from Hoosier Racing Tire, Toyo Tires and Mazda Motorsports. On the motorcycle front, I race Hare Scrambles and Dessert Off-Road Races, and do a bunch of long, multi-day trips on adventure bikes around the world. SUBSCRIBE to get my latest videos!
