Pushing through the kink‼️😬 😵‍💫 Always incredible driving 🏁🏆🌟

[@dannysteyn]

Yup, I have pushed drivers through the kink and been pushed, but you gotta get it right so you dont spin them out. Gotta ease into it and keep a continuous pressure! Always fun to see it on camera

[@EthanBarkerRacing]

Wow that was exciting!

[@dannysteyn]

thanks Ethan, was pretty exciting behind the wheel too. Was surprised to be up front for so long, and when they came past I expected to drop back without a team mate, but for some reason I was able to hang and fight to the end. Fun race!

[@KookiDowg]

Damn that was one good race. Especially close finishes at the end! Are the 1.6s just not viable to compete with the 1.8s?

[@dannysteyn]

thanks KookiDowg. Lots of fun running with those guys!. Yes IMHO the 1.6 can turn laps at the same speed as us, but over the course of the race, the heat soak affects the 1.6 more than the 1.8's. The 1.6's were given some allowances fairly recently that made them more competitive, but I think their might be more coming in the future.

17:40 lol here comes Jim not me🤣

[@dannysteyn]

that was a great pass Connor!

[@ragweedmakesmesneeze]

Are you flat through the kink? Lifting only to shift to 5th? (I did my racing school on this track and that bit scared the buhjeezus out of me every time!) Also wondering are you going from 5th to 3rd (skipping 4th) gear for Canada Corner?

[@dannysteyn]

Marc, we are flat through the kink at 107-110mph in Spec Miata. We use 3rd, 4th and 5th gears at this track, sometimes dropping down to 2nd in traffic at T5. One of the few tracks we race with 3 x 5th gear straights. I am also flat in my STL car through the kink at 118mph

Who drove the 1.6? Awesome race by the way!

[@dannysteyn]

Tony Fornetti drove the NA1.6. It was a very good 1.6, but not quite as strong as the VVT's and 99's. And thanks for the kind words

[@johng6109]

Good shit Danny

[@dannysteyn]

Thank you John

[@jmfrademartin]

That wiper pos is 2mph on the straight

[@dannysteyn]

Totally - but those rumble strips wreck havoc on the wiper motors and blades. As you saw, they varied a LOT throughout the race

"Travis has a strong car". You could as well!?!
