Heat cycling brand new tires. Just getting up to speed when I had a high speed off. Unfortunately the only video of the weekend.

Car is an ITA Mazda Miata #3. Driver is Joe Bryan Payne III. Qualified 2nd with a time of 1:28.(something). Can't find the qualifying results sheet anymore. Car on ITA pole is the black, gold, and red Honda CRX. 

Finished first in class with some fun things caught on video.

Daylight Into Dark weekend at CMS. August 18, 2012. 

SARRC event. Car is an F-production Miata #4. Driver is Henry Payne. The car was running a little under the weather, and we had to switch ECU's for the race on Sunday. With the new ECU, it felt stronger. A third place finish in class. Keep an eye on this one, as we continue to develop it's potential.

VIR Co-Drive ECR series 2002 or 2003

An older video from VIR. Possibly the 2002 or 2003 Goblins Go. This is a two driver ECR (Enduro Championship Racing) series event.

This race begins with Spec Miata #93 starting at the back of the field (mechanical problems during qualifying), and working it's way to first place in the Spec Miata class.
Things start right as the green flag drops with Henry Payne driving (the blue OMP driving gloves) and switches over to Jason Owenby (black and grey gloves) at around 20 minutes.  The video is old and had some corruption issues. Parts of it are missing.

This was a great rain race, with lots of passing. Enjoy!
​

Virginia International Raceway on 12, August, 2007. SM #22 in the Carolina Cup Pro Series.

This is Spec Miata #22 with Henry Payne (blue OMP gloves) driving the first part of the race, and Jerry Malsam (plain blue gloves) taking over to finish up. They qualified mid-pack, but had a great run, and finished strong in the top 5.

There's lots of great, close racing in the this one, so tune in!
