What an amazing weekend. 15 years in the making.
I finally got to race against my son who just turned 15.
Saturday he blew a tire in practice. A fellow competitor loaned him a tire so we could both stay in class. He qualified slightly quicker than me but I had him in the dirst race until I spun right in front of him on the last lap. He got me. In the last race, he got me on the start and I couldn’t catch him.
Today was a different story. He spun and put it on the gravel in the first race so finished an about 5 laps down. The second race we got to play on the rain and I got him in corner 1. The third race, I blew a tire and he got me. The last race, I ran our endurance tires (so ran out of class) but still in the Spec Miata run group and run order. I got an incredible start and lead for a bit. I wound of holding him off and beating him.
In the father - son championship, we have a draw for the weekend with 3 races each.
