Lime Rock Park - Spec Miata SCCA Race WIN!
Between racing the best SM drivers in the country and getting stuck behind an out of class car, this was no easy task. Thankfully, I was able to work lap traffic, and string together enough laps to secure the victory late in the run.

This race was a barn burner, as the leaders in SM battled in Race 1 of the weekend. By the end we had raced side by side through every corner of the track, proving it can be done cleanly. After finally clearing for the lead, I was able to turn up the wick and run away to the checkered flag.

Started p1 and led until a long full course caution. When racing resumed I got hosed by the restart games, and had to fight back with little to no laps left.
WIN at the Inaugural SCCA Thompson Night Race!!!
Просмотров 2274 года назад
Crazy run for victory in a race which ended at Midnight!!!! Somehow we were able to pull this one off. A failing steering rack had me thrown off in every corner entry, and without any night practice the day before it was a challenge. Took a few laps to settle into the very dark track, and get a handle on the car but it was game from there.
New Jersey SCCA Majors WIN

Back to back Majors weekends meant a quick turn around from the Thompson races. Rolling into NJ with momentum, I secured a P2 starting spot only 4 laps off the trailer. This helped propel me to another Majors victory in Sunday's feature race, over some of the best in Specmiata.

2019 was a great year in SpecMiata! I got used to the NB chassis and the results were not far behind. I even managed to demolish my old track record at Thompson set in the old car! 2020 can only get better!

On a slick track, the key to this race was balancing control and speed on corner exit. For the second year in a row the Roval was amazing, and I was able to pick up my first Majors win.

With the specmiata field in the rear-view, I found myself sandwiched between two Porsches at NHMS. Until a full course caution, I had a fun battle showing the strengths of a miata against a Porsche.

    Very exciting race Karl. Well Done ! And your first Majors. Gotta like that. Your lines looked really good and you had some stiff competion out there. Question ? Did you notice the green and white car #2 brake checked you at the start of the s's coming out of t2 ? He did that to slow you down so you would lose your momentum and not draft behind him down the bacck straight. Gotta watch out for those kinda moves. He got payback later when the silver car that pushed Danny Steyn off on lap1 took the #2 car out at t1. Danny is a great driver and much respected. It is more fun to race clean than not. You seem to be a very respectful racer and I wish you the best of luck this upcoming season. Thank you very much for posting the vid. and look forward to hearing your thoughts. :)

  • @spud3746
    @spud3746 Год назад

    You drove a great race. I bet you were grateful for lapped cars :) You were faster than the lead car everywhere but no way by. Even with your better exit speed out of the last corner, plus slipstream, that lead car had more speed and pulled away each time. My thoughts are, suspect engine :) Unless gear ratios are different?

  • @Typhoon_Kill

    • @sylthaya7571
      @sylthaya7571 10 месяцев назад

      you can still "tune" the car differently. look into the rulebook. theres a reason podium cars are pushing 40k, while all the cars u saw getting lapped are scraping by on 10-15k

    I think this is the best racing vid I've watched at LRP and I've watched a lot. Great skills and great respect amongst the drivers. I'm very interested in the 04's line through turn 4 and down no name and will try it at my next HPDE, assuming I can bring enough speed through turn 4. Great vid.

    My stock Boxster is faster through the turns than my stock Miata. Since the Boxster ahead of you left you far behind in the straights, you must be the better driver to run up his rear end on the turns.
