Other News:

Marketing opportunity in Idemitsu MX-5 Cup Presented by BF Goodrich:

I am looking to race in an Idemistsu MX-5 Cup Race at the end of the season, and am searching for some funding support to do so. If you are interested please reply to this email or call/text me on my cell, +1(403) 479-2882.

The Idemitsu MX-5 Cup runs alongside IMSA on the same weekend/day of most IMSA events.

It is televised on NBC Sports and is live-streamed on IMSA.com.

I can provide you with more information and details about the race.

Spec Miata Race this weekend:

I was racing in an SCCA Spec Miata Race last weekend at Sonoma Raceway. I qualified P5/46 Miatas, and at the start, was able to lead my first ever Spec Miata Race! I ended up finishing P4 after being caught up in a slower-lapped car while battling for P3.

After the incident with the lapped car, I was sent to P5, 7 seconds back from P4, with only 1/3rd of the race remaining. On the final lap, I made a pass to claim P4 around the outside of Turn 2! (full video will be posted to YouTube).

I would like to Thank Ron Gayman for all of the help and support that he has given me in Spec Miata. Without you, Ron, I wouldn’t have become the driver I am today.
