The Spec Miata Of Karting?
We were recently at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a Batter Tender Global MX-5 Cup event. The race was pretty tight, with last lap, last corner passing for the win and such. A reminder that spec racing often leads to close competition if the car count is high enough.
From Karts to Spec Miata – A Chat With Sam Silver
After several successful seasons in karts, Sam Silver decided to make the transition over to cars. When she’s not rock climbing or starting a company that sells hole saws, she’s racing a ’91 Spec Miata with a famous livery inspired by her mother’s maiden name: Martini.

Winding Road Racing: Getting Started In Karts
We’ve been spending more and more time thinking and writing about novice racing and skill development, both here and on our Winding Road Racing Facebook channel. In doing so we’ve gotten a fair number of questions about karting, which we’ve always held as a great entry-level approach to racing.

Look for more of this type of racing content, both here and on Facebook.
