Summit Point Raceway - MARRS 5 - 7/10/05

Ran my second Spec Miata race this weekend at Summit Point. We had a 31 car run group. I started my first qualifying session in last since I am a novice with no points / history. In my first session, I did a 1:36:044 at an average speed of 74.965 mph, moving me up to 26th for the second qualifying session. In that session, I did not run as well and was gridded in 28th for the race on Sunday.

In the race I surprised even myself, by progressively going faster and faster. I passed 7 other cars to come in 20th! I had a great battle trying (but failing) to catch car #39 for 19th place. I ran a 1:33:919 - my best lap ever - at an average speed of 76.6618 mph. :-)

I also go signed off with my regional license - one race early!
