My race at Infineon from 4th to 2nd, back to 19th, and then to 5th

I was racing this weekend at Infineon. Qualified 4th of 67, then had a wild ride in the race up to 2nd but then back to 19th. I managed to come back in the race passing people on the outside of corners and in every place possible.

Enjoy! Sean Allen (blue blurr) is featured on the video. He is the last car to pass me after the wreck (happens in first corner of lap 2).

Blurr had an awesome drive and managed 16th of 67 in his first race at Infineon with a used stock motor with 80k miles on it.

true racing, no over powered cars to win in the straights.

This is racing how it should be...skill over *****.

Notice how we all own Miata's...

Who's going to be the first non-Miata guy to post?

You are not required to do anything. Everyone repairs their own damage.

oh and if ur sean yepez, that name sounds familiar, i think back a few years ago (2-3) i worked on ur car and changed your tires to get you out on track quickly, at the time we were campaigning a S2K and the red miata of Dave's. I believe u had a white car? with black team dynamics....and i dont remember if it was at an SCCA or NASA event, but it was at infineon

either that or i got ur name mixed up with others
