2012 Star Mazda pole videos

First up we have Connor De Phillippi's pole from round 1 of the championship from the streets of St. Petersburg. Notice how smooth De Phillippi's throttle applications are. None of the off and on junk a lot of guys do. Once he's on the throttle he stays there until the next braking zone just how they teach you.



The second video is Jack Hawksworth's lap from a wet Barber Motorsports Park. You can't help but be impressed with how smooth Hawksworth is as well, just what you want on a wet lap. Well done.

Video: Star Mazda Test

 I was lucky enough to test one of John Walko Racing's Star Mazdas at Beaverun's North Course this past Tuesday. John ran a very professional operation and he and F2000 driver Chris Livengood provided great coaching after each of my sessions on how I could further improve my time. With their help I managed to crack into the 55 second range with a 55.9s laptime.

I have nothing, but great things to say about John and Chris and I definately plan on writing a more in depth summary of my test day. It was a great time!
