    For the GoPro: we run Anker battery packs plugged in to the USB of our GoPros to record in the rally car. It becomes a limitation of the SD storage at that point. Like 8 hours of battery life. You dont even need the GoPro's battery installed. That just heats the camera up with it trying to charge that battery. We have a camelback backpack on the harness bar of the roll cage. That gets us water and we put the battery packs there. A long USB cord up, and zip tied to, the overhead cage then a velcro strap around the end. You can then slide the strap towards the back of the car so the cord hangs down and can be plugged in. I don't think any Spec Miata groups would say anything. A USB cord isn't going to stop you from getting out of the car.

    That squid was already out of control while passing you, going way too fast and braking too late. But you handled it with far more grace than I could ever muster. Kudos.

So awesome to see the racing community step up to help you get back on track. Your positive attitude through it all is seriously inspiring! Can't wait to see you tear it up with that new engine! Keep being amazing, Sally! 🏎✨ #WomenInRacing #SpecMiata #RaceQueens #NeverGiveUp"

    Love the Spec Miata videos especially how you show all of the work that goes into a race weekend when the driver and the crew chief is the same person. I raced in IT and Super Touring as a one man show with the SCCA and everything in the videos are on point. One nit to pick....I don't recommend fueling a race car while in your driver's suit. I remember being told this at my second race in 2003 and it was always a rule I followed. I know it is a pain to change in and out of the race suit all of the time. But I think it is a good idea not to get anything on a suit that could burn or degrade the performance of the suit.

    Funnily, the races I remember doing were those where we had some crazy obstacle we fixed in time to get to the track (like the time we broke the gearbox in qualifying, drove the 2 hours home and back to bring a junkyard gearbox to the track, fittted it, and drove onto the grid with 3 minutes to spare). Races where we just race and nothing happens...can't remember any of 'em! :)

    First place you go for replacement parts--your competitors at the track. There's always at least one team that has every spare part imaginable and they're almost always willing to let you borrow it. My team was that team at the track and I took pride in getting competitors back on track.

    Nicely done. Glad car was not too damaged and your reaction to it was very professional in all accounts. Enjoyed the video.
    I have read about a number of people being frustrated with the earlier GoPro battery life while recoding. An alternative to the GoPro is the Osmo Action 5 Pro or Action 4. However, I have used the GoPro 13 with great success for track events. They seem to have taken the battery life issue seriously with this latest model. About an hour record time,on a battery, plus the option to plug it into a USB port or external battery, while the camera battery is installed.

      @@teamsallyracing You're very welcome. I meant to include some stories of cases where race cars had their alignment seemingly scrambled but went faster as a result. I was rooting for you to get lucky like that but I guess the Racing Fates had other ideas. One example of "funny looking" alignment (although deliberately done) was the '64 Monte Carlo Rallye Ford Falcon Sprints. And, maybe the early Mustangs that shared the same suspension geometry. They were set up with lots of toe-out. Other "odd looking" examples were the Shelby 289 Cobra's with very negative front camber settings to compensate for the roll-induced undesirable camber change of the old AC Ace suspension. Really looking forward to seeing you race with more horsepower. Your placement on the track versus some of your competitors is very professional ... and quick. My old Jim Russell Driving School instructor would have liked your style. Fun fact, Russell's school used the "slot cars" (rebodied Lotus 51 Formula Fords) from "Grand Prix." Because of my height I was put in "Pete Aron's" (James Garner) "Yamura" (modeled after the first McLaren GP car). I think I reached something like 100 mph as Dickie Smothers blew by me on the straight in his AAR Eagle F-5000. Ah, good times!

    I have not looked at all of the comments but if someone hasn't said it, you are running way to much fuel. If your gauge works? The formula I use is the number of minutes for the race/qualifying divided by .14 plus 1 gallon. Which of course means pumping fuel out after each session. MiataCage sells the inline adaptor and fittings to accomplish this. Have fun.
