Chris, I'm not even impressed with my ability to watch Doc's videos...I'd need to run a course twenty times to even think about running for the clock.

Quick SCCA ProFinale & Solo Nationals recap!
I towed out to Lincoln, NE using my dad's new Ranger (thanks dad!) and Eric Simmons drove my RX-8 out. No issues for either of us and we arrived safely on Thursday about the same time as Jon landed in Lincoln. I grabbed dinner with some autocrossers then went back to Omaha to pick up Amy from the airport to round out the day.
Friday, Jon & I did some Evo School test & tune and made some car changes and the car was fantastic for the ProSolo. Friday night we had a lot of fun decorating the Miata with some shark teeth that I designed back in 2018 and have had sitting around since then...

After driving fairly poorly on Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon conditions were terrible and essentially nobody found time. Sunday morning was primed for a battle. I ended up finding a bunch of time on the left side, but mostly on the right side where I was struggling. Due to some weird circumstances I never got a warm tire run on the right side, but it was still enough to take the 2021 SCCA ProSolo Championship for STR by 19 thousandths of a second!

For the national championships on Thursday/Friday we had all sorts of issues... The car setup that was great at the ProSolo Finale was pretty bad and Jon & I both drove just "ok" so results were just "ok" and it was annoying. I finished up 4th and Jon ended up just outside of the trophies.

The weekend after nationals, I said bye to the Miata. It went off to another competitor that does SCCA events so I'm sure I'll see it around sometime!
You're getting yet another car, then...;)
Hahaha....
