NASA Midwest & NASA Central @ Gateway Motorsports Park March 29-30th. This is a return event from 2013 for me - in the same car! I'll be driving the Team Cohn #7 PTE Miata once again. Last year I put it on the pole and set the PTE track record on the way to the class win on Saturday. On Sunday... well... the whole freakin event was cancelled! Seriously! Based on the weather forecast no less. We ended up with 10"-13" (10 in STL; 13" at my house 90 miles N).
The pic above is from 2013; with me behind the wheel of the #7 red/white PTE Miata. I'm in the oval on the banking working the pass on the #74 SM being driven by the Race Director of all people! Even more crazy; I nearly bought the #74 over the winter! Small, crazy world eh.
Anyways, I'll be looking to improve on the 1:14.0 track record from last year. Assuming the car is all good - and I have no reason to doubt Mr Cohn otherwise - I fully expect to demolish that. I'm looking for a good 2 seconds on it. After a season of driving some lower hp cars, including several on slicker Toyo tires, I really hope the skillset has improved. Optimal conditions will be needed; so we'll have to wait and see. Forecast shows a high of 59 Sat and 70 Sunday! Crazy considering it's 32 degrees there now... Wish us luck on a great 2014 kickoff!
