Daytona or bust- Runoff's 2015
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2015 9:11 am
I’m heading for Daytona late this week for the Runoff’s, having qualified in Touring 4.
I had to run the alternate path to qualify (SECS), as the car wasn’t ready for most of the SEDiv Majors schedule. I did get to run the VIR Majors, but other than that “qualifying” has been mainly showing up at SECS weekends. That was good for shake down and development of the new build, though the MX5 is not a Daytona car. But, you run with what you have (and the build was a multi-year strategy- Mid Ohio is coming!)
The T4 race will be the 3rd one on the schedule, running Friday at about 11:00AM. There’s no TV but all the races will be broadcast live on the web, which you can access from the SCCA website. There are (21) entries in T4, a mix of Mustangs, Camaro’s, Hondas, (4) Mazda’s, and a couple of Z4’s and other rides. Should be a good race (as will most of them), so tune in when you can. (I don’t have any sense of how we will do, but we’ll have some fun no matter what ).
Also, the Spec Miata race will run under the lights on Friday night, with a total of (63) entries. Must see TV!
If you are there, look me up in Mazda paddock. If not, wish me luck!
