2017 SCCA Runoffs Indianapolis Spec Miata- Mike Gagliardo

With the race being at Indy, it attracted the best of the best in spec miata and the race definitely lived up to the hype. There are a few decisions I would like back, but I was just happy to be contending for the win and even leading for a few corners. It was easily the most physical race I have ever been apart of. Hate the way it ended, but all in all it was a great week for our team and came close to winning the whole thing. We are already looking forward to next season. Started 8th and finished 6th.

Thanks for sharing! Heading to Indy and this definitely helped remind me what to do on track. You are a beast in T1! Hope I can roll that kind of speed through there!

Excellent race craft... sucks about that contact at the end.

You drove a great race congratulations !!! Looking back at it, going into turn one coming down the straight you were in good shape, then you got punted into the sand trap in two, so what would you have done different to avoid that outcome ? just would like to know your thoughts. Up to that point, it was all going pretty darn well for ya, and presto it was gone. thanks Joe

Only three minutes and you made So many Great moves! I'm proud of you! Seems to me you might have been down a few horsepower but you know the cars way better than me. Looked like fun!

Gags, Jr: I'm the guy who lettered the S2 cars in '85, wicked drive, quickest on the track. It'll work out next time.

Awesome race. Nice driving man. I'm new to racing Miatas, but I learn fast. :)

Great vid. You were monster overtaker several times into 1. I was watching the race, in person, from the very end of the pit grandstands. You could see pretty much from the entire front straight, all the way to the exit of 7. SM was one of the best races all weekend to spectate.

Great Job! Quite an accomplishment to be in the lead pack at the runoffs. What were the hand signals about?

[@NickV370]

Great drive!! Bet you will be ditching the screw on shift knob for next season :)

[@hpimola]
