SCCA Spec Miata | Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course September 6, 2020 

Thanks, Aaron! I try to make it interesting since I'm a solid mid-pack racer. No battles for the lead here. haha :)

Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the race!

Thank you!

Hey Ryan, thanks for checking out the video! Spec Miata is a blast! So the process I use to get our team radio in the videos is a little too complicated to explain in a comment. I’ll make a tutorial and upload it to my channel next week to explain it. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while so thanks for reminding me. Ha Stay tuned! 👍🏻

Spike Motorsports Awesome! Looking forward to it 😁

@@rk.0423 It took longer than I expected but the "how to" video is finally up! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7sfWIBT45Jw.html

Hey Layne, This is about as well as I can explain it. There are others that can explain it way better than me. In Spec Miata, the cars run either the 1.6L or 1.8L engine depending on the year of the car. The 1.6 engines are susceptible to heat soak due largely to the Air Flow Meter (AFM). The 1.8 cars use a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and it does a better job of controlling the fuel mixture than the AFM. The 1.8 cars also have the VVT cylinder heads that help with performance in the heat. The beat thing to do is focus on keeping the engine bay as cool as possible for the 1.6s. Depending on the ambient temp, you can also run a gutted thermostat. Hope this helps 👍🏻

@@SpikeMotorsports i did not realize y'all ran different engines. That makes sense, why doesn everyone run the 1.8L? What are the advantages of the 1.6L?

@@Mtnbike121 When compared to the 1.8, the 1.6 cars are lighter, brake faster, and can change directions quicker. The 1.6 donors are also cheaper to buy when building a new car. The 1.8 cars must run a restrictor plate and weigh more than the 1.6s. The major upside to the 1.8 cars is that they have more torque. Generally speaking, the 1.6 cars are better on the tight, technical tracks, and the 1.8s are better on faster, long straightaway tracks.

@@SpikeMotorsports great explanation. I truly loved watching this video! I wish more people enjoyed watching track racing on RU-vid. I believe you deserve so many more subscribers! Unfortunately many people have a short attention span. I am no where at the level you are but enjoy doing track days but don't post them because they never really do well. Your an amazing driver and hope to do something like this in the future great video again 😀

@@nstylemotorsportsracing1471 Wow, Thank you for the compliment!! The Spec Miata class always makes for a good show👍🏻

i’m assuming it was some sort of warm up lap since everyone was warming up their tires still
