Mike Skeen: SpecE46 Battle For The Belt!

[@Megachad]

Spec Racing is so under rated. It's where the really good racing is.

[@taariqsaffouri]

Awesome drive! Some really fun fights and an incredible driver! That was fun to watch:)

[@leonardmueller5068]

Having raced IP years ago, the hardest thing I felt was keeping in front rather than trying to catch someone else. Best times were always close behind someone just a tad faster. Excellent control, great hands and feet!

[@HiFiGuy1]

Master class. Great drive, Mike.

[@davidcunicelli1430]

Pure entertainment. Love the battle!

[@e36_cameron]

I’m very impressed you could keep your lead throughout pretty much the whole race, especially battling it out like that for a good portion of it. I heard from Robert Patton you were fast, but man - you’re FAST

[@AapVanDieKaap]

Great driving, looks like a fun format

[@Tin_Fed]

Man I love this. Would be great to see a pedal cam Mike? You sure can make a car dance!

[@1176hambone]

That was intense! Great content

[@andydhillon1977]

I enjoyed watching! I don't think I will ever be prepared to battle to the end like you guys did at 2 mins. Too scary for me. Lol 7 mins had two cars make contact.

[@indyjim573]

7:08 it get a little chippy back there…

[@JaredR1996]

I bet it’s so fun driving a car like this. Thanks Mike

[@MakesSens]

Thanks MIke!

[@niptuck170]

why does the draft seem so strong!

[@Stubs66]

That’s a change in pace but so much fun, if not I bet stressful at times.. can imagine very easy to overdrive squeezing every last drop of performance

[@MikeSmalley993]

Looked like the P2 car had a little motor on ya there... no way that's "draft" 😉 Very Nice Drive... who was driving that car? Showed some nice pace, and good decision making skills. Well done Mike!

[@MikeSkeenRacing]

That was Adrian Wlostowski in the black/blue car. He races in TA2 as well. These cars do draft really well, actually. I don’t know that much of it was a power advantage.

[@jamesadams3622]

I have some questions on this Mike. In Oak Tree and going into Roller Coaster, the indicator is showing full red the whole way. But that's not true to life is it? Is it moderate, then off a bit then back on in both zones, is that what's actually happening?

[@MikeSkeenRacing]

@@jamesadams3622 pretty sure that’s just displaying based on an on/off switch, not a pressure sensor. The actual pressure would nearly trail off through T11 and then slightly increase before turning into T12.

[@crazzy88ss]

Noob question @ 3:55, what was the hand signal there? I've seen that in track day/HPDE, but not racing.

[@erwinlommer197]

it was a thumbs up signalling that it is okay to bumpdraft him I think. Some people don't like it.

[@masonhoeper9347]

I've seen it in Spec Miata racing, and based on them usually giving the thumbs up, it's when a car initiates the bump draft, I'm gonna assume it has something to do with that

[@MikeSkeenRacing]

Basically just "thanks" for the bump draft

[@Mena6e.c7]

Is there any money involved in this

[@MikeSkeenRacing]

No making money in SE46 really

[@sasha_veter]

More fun 👍

[@GarrettAdamsRacing]

Love the thumbs up, the first guy was no fun.

[@tracklife2540]

Excellent race craft in defense of the position at T1 over and over!

[@MichaelMaduske]

Spoiler alert: If you know Mike, you know how this ends. 😘
