Question: Did I actually sleep for a few hours or spend the whole time trying to? Answer: Coffee

Gas stop update: Fun weekend despite the final result. Happy with the charge from the back of the pack (34th) to finish in 16th for the Championship race earlier today. Maybe the next Champs I attend, I won’t get screwed in the first 5 minutes of the qualifying race. That’s 2 for 2 now.

Well, shit show of a race. Glad everyone involved in the large accident is okay and no one got hurt. Will be a long afternoon and evening getting the car fixed in preparation for tomorrow.

Going to be fun working through the field tomorrow. Starting P19 out of 43. T1 is going to be chaos. Bring it on.

Qualifying did not go according to plan. My dance partner got stuck in line waiting to be gridded while the rest of us were released. Managed to hook up with someone halfway through the session and got a decent lap, but there’s clearly more work to do. P19 out of 43 currently

Made it to Sebring although later than originally hoped for. Mostly setup, and just trying to strategize for the weekend a little bit before getting some sleep. It’s going to be an awesome weekend as long as I don’t put too much pressure on myself.

Good day today testing at Autobahn Country Club. Would have been perfect had the starter I JUST REPLACED not gone kaput at the end of today. Lucky enough to have Advanced Autosports here on site with spare used starters. With the starter replaced again, the car is ready for tomorrow.

Why did the NASA Championships and IFC have to be so close to each other? Hopefully next year I can spare the weekend to go to IFC. Feels bad not supporting a local con.

Ugh what a morning. Fixed the truck, mowed the lawn, got stung by whatever on the leg, allergies going crazy, started to get really hot in the sun… At least I scooped this tiny frog up and relocated them by the pond before worse could happen.

Honestly, probably my most impressive win. I’m so pumped. That I’ve struggled with setup on this car for SO long, and it’s finally at a good spot, its just so validating.

Can finally post an update sheet yesterday’s race now that the dust has settled. Finished 3rd after a hard fought race, slower out-of-class cars definitely played a part in that. Lead a few laps there in the middle. Nabbed fast lap and will start on pole this morning.

Jato 🏎️ @destructofox.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Good day so far. Fastest in warmup, qualified P4 despite a brake issue, less than 0.3 off pole. Should be a great race at the front of the pack.

Appointment done, knee MRI scheduled for next Friday. Strangely very similar timeline to the left knee from 3 years ago, almost to the day.

Spent hours trying to get data off the MXS dash in the spec miata today to no avail. Windows RaceStudio refuses to acknowledge it’s connected wired or wirelessly. The phone app keeps disconnecting. Need to get a backup data system figured out ASAP while I wait on AIM to respond to technical help.

I wish I’d gotten these way sooner. The right knee is still only at 60% since ??? happened to it a month ago. This at least got me back into the gym. Got one for the left knee too after having surgery a few years back, would like to avoid a repeat issue.

Felt good to be working on the race car again. Fluids, front brakes and hubs, plus some cleanup. Mid-Ohio is in two weeks! Also got the truck’s transmission lever cable changed out. It’s back to 100% too, until it decides otherwise.
