Five-time Spec Miata champion Preston Pardus joins Davey Segal this week (5:30) ahead of his first attempted Xfinity Series race of 2025. He dives into the revenge he's seeking after failing to quality for COTA last year, why he and Pardus Racing chose the select races they did for this year, how his NASCAR experience has been thus far and how his father Dan's experience at the top level of stock car levels has guided his time thus far. Pardus also details his iconic 2017 SCCA runoffs victory that started it all in Spec Miatas, his super sweep in 2020 and how they've done it all while building cars in their backyard in New Smyrna, Florida. Pardus explains why the No. 50 he's running now in Xfinity is special to the family, racing against his sister (and dad) and why he's so appreciative of his loyal fanbase. Davey also recaps Christopher Bell's win at Atlanta, looks ahead to COTA and Papa Segal pays homage to Bobby Labonte.

Loni Unser is part of a family that has a rich history in motorsports, and especially in racing in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. In this episode we talk about her road from racing go-karts, to Miata's, to driving in the 100th Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Believe it or not, Loni started out racing on skis, not in anything with 4 wheels. That came later when she started driving Karts a bit, and that quickly moved into racing Spec Miata with NASA Rocky Mountain. From there she ran the Mazda MX5 cup with Hixon Motor Sports in 2021, and her success there set the foundation for her to secure a place in the Porsche Cup for the 100th running of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. For episode 98 of the Flatirons Syndicate Motorsports Podcast, we talk with Loni about her path to racing, what she though about competing in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb for the first time, and we also talk to her about Shift Up Now which she is a part of. Thanks for listening and Stay Tuned!

Fast forwarding a bit, She began her racing career in the Spec-Miata class campaigning her own car and ultimately hopes to proceed into professional racing starting with the Mazda MX-5 Cup series. Annika Carter is constantly working to better herself behind the wheel. She believes everything is possible and is fully dedicated to fulfilling her goals on track, and we welcome her to Break/Fix to share her story with us.
On Episode 38 of Inside the SCCA we reconnect with Spec Miata driver Austin Varco. We talk about what it was like to drive a Miata in England's version of the SCCA. We also talk about Austin's recent Autism diagnosis and we discuss what challenges he has to deal with racing with Autism. His story about racing in England is remarkable -- but talking about his Autism and how it affects his racing is really something you won't want to miss.

GHIT 0292: Aaron Jongbloedt Aaron Jongbloedt from Jungle Motorsports joins us for this episode and we discuss all things racing, even ice boating. Aaron seems to race in all series and all types of racing, we may even be able to make it to an ice racing event with him post plague. Since he has such a wide range of experiences, we try to cover many of them as possible to show how each series and club can vary and each offers a different blend of driving and racing flavor. The best thing you can do to start is try as many as you can and you will undoubtedly find one that matches your interests and maximizes the fun. Plus an impromptu race car intervention, lol. volunteering as an avenue to start getting into racing and saving on the amount of money needed.

Best regards, Vicki, Jennifer, Alan, and Bill Hosts of the Garage Heroes In Training Podcast and Garage Heroes In Training racing team drivers Highlights for this episode include: 1) Why he selected Spec Miata as a primary racing class and why he also includes and enjoys other types of racing. 2) Aaron opens up the trap door to a quick summary of our racing cars and HPDE cars. We need to get a bit more focus. Time for a garage sale. We may have a race car (or truck) for you, lol 3) Vicki is not familiar with the track at Brainerd, but after our discussion it sounds like we will be soon, lol. Top tip: Also obey the team CFO. 4) Some of the plusses and minuses of racing Spec Miata and how it has influenced hos racing approach and philosophy. 5) Are there significant differences between instructing in autocross and instructing on a race track? Also a discussion of the potential benefits of autocross before driving on track. The skills are complimentary but the approach can be quite different in some ways. 6) Aaron discusses his experience with almost all of the amateur endurance racing series and some of the new ones starting this season. 7) As expected, we also discuss Spec Miata and Vicki is still intimidated with the concept of bump drafting. This will likely change with time. We have a NB Spec Miata car that needs a bit of love to race this season, but we are hopeful. Bilstein shocks may be in our future. 8) Why does Aaron seem to prefer arrive and drive (Seat Rentals) for endurance racing events. Bill has always had concerns and questions that has prevented him from doing many arrive and drives. We discuss several of them. 9) Money saving tips and insight into what is required and what is avoidable to be competitive in the series, locally and nationally. 10) Somehow we return to the topic of our cars. It appears we are in the midst of an informal race car intervention. lol. (Probably long overdue) 11) We also have a discussion of the storage required for a racing car and team. Aaron is curious about the hangar that we use as our teams primary hub. 12) How volunteering at events can minimize or potentially eliminate the cost of racing. 13) How our "press" claim was received by a racing series. (as you would expect) 14) Just when you thought it was over, we get into a discussion of some of the local midwestern tracks that Aaron suggest we try. As always, the answer is "yes" To follow Aaron further: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aaron.jongbloedt His blog: https://junglemotorsports.blogspot.com

After spending 10 years in equestrian show jumping competition, Taylor Hagler traded in the horse for horsepower in 2018. This was a natural progression, as Taylor and her father have been lifelong sports car racing fans. Taylor moved into Spec Miata in NASA Texas and has proven to be a quick study in sports car racing. In her first season of competition, Taylor worked up to 5th place of 69 drivers in the NASA Texas Spec Miata championship. She was also awarded the Rookie of the Year by the NASA Texas organization for the skill and growth that she exhibited throughout the season.In the latter part of 2018 and early 2019, Taylor made another big step in her racing career and collected her first win at Road Atlanta with the SCCA and her first pole position at MSR Houston with NASA. These strong performances caught the eye of the X-Factor Racing team who was plotting a return to professional racing. With this deal, Taylor began testing in the potent Honda Civic for her professional debut at Circuit of the Americas in March of 2019.In her debut weekend in TC America, Taylor was able to earn her first podium finish in front of family, friends, and a home crowd at Circuit of the Americas in Elroy, Texas. She followed up her early season success with another podium finish and her first career pole position at Watkins Glen. As a result of her consistent improvement throughout the year, Taylor finished her debut season in professional racing in 5th place in the TC America TCA Driver's Championship.For the 2020 season, Taylor signed with Honda Performance Development (HPD) to drive in the IMSA TCR series under LAP Motorsports and LA Honda World Racing. She and co-driver Ryan Eversley captured one podium finish and five Top 5 finishes during the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season. Taylor also captured the pole position for the second event at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course during a break-out weekend in 2020.Taylor joined Michael Lewis in the number 77 Hyundai Veloster N TCR for Bryan Herta Autosport in the 2021 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge where they finished the season at the top of the podium as champions of the series. Hagler became the first-ever female to earn the championship title in the TCR category and is the second female champion in IMSA history.Hagler was also named the 2021 SRO GT World Challenge America Rookie of the Year.All of this in just four professional racing seasons. Wow.

We talk about Miatas with two Miata drivers, Jim Tramontano (No Money Motorsports) & Dave Peters (HPDEjunkie).Jim created No Money Motorsports - A site with the primary goal to get folks on track, as much as possible, by spending as little money as possible. He started autocrossing in 2007, started track days by volunteering with NASA in 2012 and moved up the HPDE ranks in his Daily Driver Miata. He's in his 5th year racing Spec Miata with NASA Northeast. Dave (Episode 16) created a website, HPDEjunkie, the most inclusive and most current listing of HPDE / Track Days and Open Track events for North America.We discuss their cars, how they built them, and get their advice on set ups and more.Setting tire pressures, alignments, and suspension settings all get discussed. Dave's tire pressure tip - use white marker to highlight the tiny triangles on the shoulder of your tires to see if you are going past that point. If you are, increase the tire pressure. If you aren't close to the triangles, reduce the tire pressure.Where to go for Miata advice and parts? Talk with other Miata drivers at a track day and see who's running well. Talk with them and see where they source their parts.If you race your Miata be sure to check out the Mazda Motorsports website for .

Hey everyone, welcome to the Luminous Podcast! This week I did my first remote episode of the show, which actually went really smoothly. I sat down (across the country) with Tyler Kicera, Senior Director of the Kinetics Department at Tait Towers. They're responsible for some of the most incredible kinetic stage designs and permanent installations in the world, including the London 2012 Olympics, U2, Queen, & Rodger Waters world tours, all of Deadmouse's ridiculous stages, The Wynn in Las Vegas, and so many more absolutely bonkers installations. Tyler and I were supposed to present this year at LDI on a panel discussion on architainment and feature design, but it kind of fell apart at the last minute. Oh well. We decided he should definitely do an episode of the podcast so we could get to know each other and at least talk for a bit. We had a fascinating conversation and we got into some great side topics about some of his other passions, road racing in Spec Miata competitions, maintaining work-life balance, and how having kids can change your perspective and priorities. He's a genuinely cool guy and I'm bummed we won't get to do our panel this year, but it was great to get to hang out for a bit and get to know each other! Hope you enjoy the conversation.
I sit down with Tyler Hintz who drives in the Spec Miata racing series!
