This picture is coming out of the corner heading towards the big infield turn.

I was able to secure victory both days of racing at Autoclub Speedway in Fontana California in both days races. The first day was very close racing with the lead changing several time sbetween me and the Honda fit but I was able to make a late pass for the victory with 2 seconds between us.

On the second day was was able to pull away at the start from slower cars and kept the lead to the finish.

I also set a new track time record of 2:09.809 for B-Spec cars as well!



It was a great weekend for racing.

I will be competing this weekend at Cal Speedway in Fontana California for the first west coast SCCA majors event. I am looking forward to getting back int eh seat again to compete in B-Spec. The other two cars in my class signed up are from HPD (Honda Performance Development) and are the Honda Fit models (Jazz in other markets).



We will be running the sports car configuration which will prove a challenge for the Mazda 2 as it is lower power than the Honda fit. The best trick is to be close to use drafting to stay up with the more powerful cars.

If you want to see the progress of the weekends racing check out the event on racemonitor to see live timing. My car is #71.

The race time on saturday jan 18th is 3:30pm PST and I am in group #7 with the race being 30 minutes. On Sunday the race for group 7 is 3:35pm PST and the race it 40 minutes or 17 laps, which ever comes first.

I look forward to achieving victory for Mazda and my sponsors.

I found the link to watch the B-Spec and T-4 race at the 2013 SCCA Runoffs if you want to watch. I recommend going to 19:00 if you want to see the first lap action from the B-Spec cars. The coverage is mostly on the T-4 class for the rest of the race.
