Totally still wearing a grin. I think I've watched both replays of the race over 5 times lol. It's fun to relive it, and also see where I made some mistakes and where I can improve a little more. That track is seriously awesome, a but intimidating in the wet though, no real run off (except where I lost it) and grass and hills everywhere... I watched the b spec mazda lose it and roll during qualifying... makes you think twice for sure - but ya still gotta race without fear.

Great race and video! Congratulations, well deserved.

My big takeaway is how the engine is nearly stock. Seems to be largely limited to a tune, exhaust, radiator and oil cooler. Yet it held up in an actual 30+ road race. Made me think of all the, "Oh no, crickets!" threads. .
