After a silly race I went from 5th to 14th and back to 5th in the space of three laps. I suppose the lesson was to; expect the unexpected and deal with it - My dad was not impressed but kept telling me to keep talking to Reggio (my engineer). Miller Motorsports Park in Utah was another struggle in qualifying but after a lot of changes, the car was really good in the race. However, I got a bit too ambitious after a restart and got my front wing damaged with an overly ambitious overtaking move (big lesson!). After a pit stop for a new nose and wing (and without a full course yellow) I finished with the smashing result of 20 something ... ugh I don't even remember. I was fast but I had yet to put practice, qualifying and the race all together without incident. My dad was still a little concerned that the steep learning curve might be a little too much for me but he was also very aware (and happy) that the lessons were coming thick and fast. After Utah, he told me to keep talking to Reggio. my relationship with my engineer, Mike Reggio, would be one of the keys to success in the season- he kept saying talk to Reggio. exs:aec:-rTHe unexpeCTec <:================ anc DeaL WITHIT. Virginia International Raceway was next up and the lessons started to pile up. It was probably one of the worst races of the year because I think there were a total of five or six green flag laps. I was never really on the pace all weekend but that was not the real drama. Unbelievably, Adam Christodoulou (who eventually won the championship) brake checked the field on a restart that by the time the effects got to me in fifth place, chaos broke out. I was just coming out of the last corner and had to jump on the brakes without being straight and had a massive screeching 360 degree spin right in the middle of Introducing 40 mm!!!

This would technically be my "home" race considering I live In Indianapolis. I had lots of family and friends there and I really wanted to put on a good show for them. My two main competitors, Dempsey and Christodoulou were in a new desiqn of chassis and my dad suspected that the chassis appeared to be quicker. I finished third in race one (uneventful but not fast enough) and got by far the biggest cheer on the podium because we had imported the crowd. Unfortunately, race two was one of the most active races of the season, but for the wrong reason - I had to be defensive all day. I had an absolutely atrocious understeer turning left. I actually theuqht my front wing was broken! However, after suffering through a race where all I could focus on was my mirrors, I managed to finish 5th. Reggio discovered that three of my tires were Can you face the difficult off track challenges and become stronger? Milwaukee was the first oval race of the season and my career. It was a complete and utter disaster. We didn't get to qualify because of torrential rain so we had to start by practice times. I lined up 3rd on the grid behind my teammate Richard Kent. Most of us had never raced on an oval before so we didn't really know what to expect. At the drop of the green flag I had a great start and thought I could pass for the lead. As my teammate and I headed into the first corner side by side, neither of us realized what a horrible result would ensue. We collided, sending both of us into the wall and out of the race. That event marked a really low point in the season. Many unfortunate things were said that really made it tough. I was mad, my dad was mad, tensions were high within the team, but I feel that I developed a ton of mental strength that weekend and started to learn how to persevere through difficult times. Racing is always going to be difficult, but if you can learn to push through the toughest of times you will be mentally prepared to deal with almost anything. As we drove home I knew my dad was concerned however, his motto is always not to keep me from difficult times but to equip me to handle them. I also knew he would tell me to keep talking to Reggio.

  • Remarks Chicago Region RE, Rick Bentson July 1, 2016
    REmarks Chicago Region RE, Rick Bentson July 1, 2016 What a month June has been! The first 9 days of the month were the calm before the storm of events. Beginning June 10 things got real with 44 cars taking to the track at our PDX Track Day event at Autobahn Country Club. Yours truly served as Chief Steward, with an assist from George Laws so I could exit early to get some sleep before getting up at half-past-the- middle-of-the-night for the drive to Blackhawk Farms, timed to arrive in time for the morning Worker meeting to work corners for the Milwaukee/Blackhawk Valley regions Double Divisional race weekend. This would be weekend one of the June Triple Header of race weekends. Following the Blackhawk Farms weekend, the 61st running of the Chicago Region June Sprints at Road America greeted 308 entries with great weather (unlike last year, which featured 3 days of rain) and 3 days of very competitive racing, including 67 Spec Racer Fords! As an added bonus for the spectators in attendance the Battery Tender Mazda MX-5 Cup pro series was included on the weekend’s schedule, bringing an additional 42 cars and their own brand of great racing. As a Jack-of-all-Trades of sorts for the weekend I had the pleasure of being able to experience the many flavors of the June Sprints and I gotta tell ya, I couldn’t be more proud of the event we put on! From Registration, to Tech (with free soft-serve ice cream for drivers, crew and anyone else who stops by!), to the amazing job done by the combined Road America/SCCA crew in Race Control, to the best corner marshalling crew in the country (a bit of personal bias there, I admit, but I don’t think I’m wrong), to the best, and I mean the BEST podium ceremony in all of amateur racing.

MAZDASPEED racers compete in a host of series from coast-to- coast, but certain states have a disproportionate number of great race tracks. Florida, the No. 1 travel destination in the world, is home to dozens of iconic race tracks including Daytona, Sebring, Homestead, Gainesville and the St. Petersburg street course. ® Mazda has formed a partnership with VISIT FLORIDA , the state’s official tourism marketing corporation, to promote awareness of the many attributes of the Sunshine State to race fans.

Nick Andries placed tenth for the team Sunday and Dom Bastien was 21st in Round 9 of the series, which is presented by Goodyear. m-o-r-e Andersen Racing Sunday Star Mazda Results/Page 2 of 7 Vautier was just 0.213 of a second behind polesitter and eventual winner Conor Daly in qualifying Sunday morning to earn a spot on the front row for the standing start Sunday afternoon. Krohn was just a heartbeat slower to earn the third starting position. Grenier qualified fifth; Andries 11th and Bastien 23rd. The only change to the top four positions in the non-stop, 45-minute/21- lap race occurred at the start when Grenier blasted by the driver who had qualified fourth, Caio Lara, to earn that position. Daly had over a 3-second lead several times, but Vautier had cut that to only 0.979 of a second at the checkered. The rookie from Corenc, France was rebounding from electrical problems with his car, which is sponsored by Moulin T.P., Cecibon, Circuit du Laquis, Fontanel Promotion and Allied Building Products Corp., in Saturday’s race.
