Epic Spec Miata Dual - Fun strategic chess match, trying to make sure I am there at the end to challenge for the win. Daytona in Spec Miata, is all about team work, and commiting to a team mate that will get you to the end, and then the final lap, what to do, and where to do it! This was one of my most enjoyable Daytona races as there were so many lead changes during the race
On the motor racing front I compete in SCCA and NASA events around the USA. I race both Spec Miata (SM) and Super Touring Lite (STL) cars. My cars are prepared by OPM Autosports in Atlanta, my SM is powered by Rossini Racing Engines, my STL is powered by Nelson Racing Engines, and both cars are stopped courtesy G-Loc Brake Pads, with contingency support from Hoosier Racing Tire, Toyo Tires and Mazda Motorsports.
On the motorcycle front, I race Hare Scrambles and Dessert Off-Road Races, and do a bunch of long, multi-day trips on adventure bikes around the world.

Well done Sir ! Thanks for posting- very exciting !!

@dannysteyn 2 месяца назад

glad you enjoyed it, I promise you it was just as exciting in the car, was grinning from ear to ear, and laughing while it was going on. It is precisely these type of racss that keep me coming back year after year. Passing, and being passed is what racing is all about!

It’s a shame I live 4 miles from the racetrack and never knew about this race. I would’ve loved to shown up pretty damn good racing. That is the best. I won’t miss the next one. Good luck to all.

Glad you enjoyed it, and Pro Tip! Never miss a Spec Miata race! They are always guaranteed to be entertaining. So many identically powered cars driven by so many talented drivers, all trying to wrestle the same sqft of asphalt away from each other. It leads to some compelling racing.

Fantastic race. 👍🏿I'm not saying you're the Ayrton Senna of SM -- then again, I'm not saying you're not.

Thanks Randy, you are a funny man! 😀

My heart rate went up to about 195 at the 29:04 mark where you're clearly motioning (and likely focussed) on your "team mate" ahead while the 198 car is on your tail. Please tell me you saw him when you went up the track to slide by a lapped car! That had disaster written all over it. Great race Danny. Huge W!

@dannysteyn 2 месяца назад

Yup i had seen him earlier in the lap tgrougj Nascar T4, and wasnt sure we would clear him by T1, so i had multiple strategys playing through my head. As it was, we got tge last lap flag as we eere passing him, with cars on the inside and outside, and i just held my spot. Being the 2nd car seldom hurts on the last lap. 😅

How much did the curbing in the bus stop impact your speed and approach?

@dannysteyn 2 месяца назад

From the data, the new curbing slows us down by 5-8mph min speed, but that translates into more than 1-1/2 seconds of lap time. Entry speed is compromised, but its the exit speed that really hurts. In my opinion, the "new bus stop" has taken out a lot of the JOY of the Daytona track. This track always had this one of a kind epic section, where, if you got it right you were golden, and if you didnt you sh@t the bed, and i LOVED the bus stop. Now its just another stop-start kinda turn , just like every other turn at every other track. That EPIC FLOW has gone!

@FloridaBikeAdventures 2 месяца назад

@@dannysteyn was disappointed with the change also. I run a T3 Boxster. The impact with speed is similar for me too. I did the race a month ago. Got no warning of the change and we had no practice. I found out lap one of qualifying. Looks like they didn’t give you guys practice either because of the storm. Thanks for the video. Love the rear shots. That is a great view.

@skipjrracing 2 месяца назад

The new bus stop looks awful. I guess now the new name is appropriate. RIP one of my favorite corners!

@dannysteyn 2 месяца назад

Totally agree. The old busstop was such a flowing ballsy element that made Daytona so special. Now its a stop start element just like every other track and the flow is gone.😢

@dillonpierce7869 2 месяца назад

Need the grass back at least in the bus stop area..... We all know racings potentially deadly the sanctions gotta ease up a little on the safety that keeps making tracks ugly. Sorry to those who wouldve been having dig in rollovers but I want the grass again.

@dannysteyn 2 месяца назад

@@dillonpierce7869 Dillon, he grass is gone, it wont come back. Life is always adapting to the new reality. The mantra that I live my life by is the following - "The rules of the game are always changing, and those that adapt to the new rules first, always win." I too, miss the grass but that is long gone!
