The World Racing League visited Barber Motorsports Park on August 17-19 for the “Sportscar Showdown.” Barber is located outside of Birmingham, AL and is a 2.38 mile course commonly referred to the “August Nationals of motorsport” due to its gorgeous grounds. Friday was a short test day. My co-driver Jason Workman and I decided to do the bare minimum and we just turned a few laps before parking it for the remainder of the day to save the car. We were happy with the car’s perfo

This past weekend I returned home to Road Atlanta to race in the double SCCA SARRC weekend which was also named the Hazel Harrell Memorial. I was driving the #78 Casey Carden Motorsports Mazda Miata in ITA over the weekend, the same car we have been racing in AER and WRL racing. The setup was the same minus running BFG R1s versus the usual BFG Rivals and we had to add quite a bit of weight to the car to meet ITA regulations. The weekend went well, I was able to finish third b

Take a ride in the Casey Carden Motorsports Mazda Miata. This was my first stint ever at Daytona and the first stint of the race. Sadly my camera died for my second stint though.

So the 2017 Concorso Daytona 14 Hours is a wrap. The World Racing League put on a great event with some very clean racing, with that said our race wasn’t as smooth. The green flag flew at 8am Saturday morning and being a WRL event they have no qualifying or practice, so if you have never been to the track your only experience is from videos, simulators, and asking for advice. I fell into that category and also had the honor of starting the car! No complaints though, I’m alway

Next up on my calendar will be the WRL Concorso Daytona. This is a fourteen hour race on the high banks at Daytona International Speedway. I'll be back in familiar territory driving one of the Casey Carden Motorsports Mazda Miatas. We're looking forward to this one! #daytona #worldracingleague #motorsport #mazda #mazdaspeed #dis #daytonainternationalspeedway #wrl #miata #mx5 #endurance #racing #racecar #simontibbett

Here's a compilation of my 2017 Mitty weekend from Road Atlanta. #mitty #mazda #mazda3 #mazdaspeed #simontibbett #roadatlanta #scca #hsr #vintage #sportscar #touringcars #tcr #btcc #themitty

The 40th anniversary of "The Mitty" was a success. Friday morning was our first practice session and the goal was to just get a feel for the car since I had never driven it. Things went well and the car seemed good, I was within a few seconds of the Mazda3 I ran a few years back in the first session so that was a good start. The second practice was the same thing but with so much traffic (over 40 cars) it was hard to get a clean lap so I worked on just running wheel to wheel

My next race in the 2017 season brings me back to Road Atlanta for the huge "Mitty" weekend. This has been one of my favorite events to attend ever since I was a little kid. When I first got the chance to race at The Mitty in 2015 I knew I'd have to find a ride every year thereafter. The car I will be driving is not so vintage though! I'm getting back behind the wheel of a Mazda3. The car was a Runoffs competitor in the SCCA SSC days, now converted to more Touring 4 trim. The
