On the weekend of September 16th-18th, The Ohio Valley Region held an IT-Spec Miata Challenge race as a support race to the Grand-Am weekend at Mid-Ohio. The event was open to all IT classes and Spec Miata with 48 entries.
It was a great weekend for long-time road racers and King Motorsports customers Bob and Joe Moser. Both of the Moser’s ITA CRXs chassis were fabricated and set up at King Motorsports – and both cars run King Motorsports built and tuned engines.
On Sunday the group ran two qualifying races and one trophy race, all on the pro course. In the first photo Joe is leading the field to the start through the carrousel for the first qualifying race. In the second photo Joe has pulled out a substantial lead at the end of the first lap while Bob races for position with two of the ITS cars. In the third photo Joe is forced out of the first qualifying race with a grill blocked up with debris and starting to overheat.
In the second qualifying race Joe had to start at the back of the field. He passed 44 cars in 12 laps to finish second overall behind Tim Selby in the ITS Miata and Bob Moser in the other King Motorsports ITA CRX.
The podium photos are after the feature race. Tim Selby won first overall in the ITS Miata, Joe Moser second overall and first in ITA and Bob Moser third overall and second in ITA.
Joe Moser kept whittling down the ITA pro course lap record through the weekend, ending up dropping it by almost a half second to 1:40.35!
Check out Joe’s lead over the entire field on this rear-facing in-car video.
Congratulations to Bob and Joe on a great weekend.
Congrats to Rob Delimat, our 2011 Dyno Day Photo Contest winner!
Rob's picture was chosen because it captured so much about what Dyno Day is all about: Race Cars, Street Cars, People, and Cars on the Dyno. For his efforts Rob's photo will be featured on the front page of our website and he will receive a King Motorsports TShirt. Rob's uncropped photo can be seen here.

We have a freshly-baked B21 shipping out to the Great Northwest!
Specifications for this King-built engine:
2.1 Litre, Skunk2 Pro 2's; King Hand Ported Head; 12:1; King custom ported Edelbrock Intake - cut apart, ported and re-welded.
The engine is pictured here in our B-Series test vehicle for break-in and Hondata S300 tuning on our Dynojet Dyno. In final form this motor will be running a King custom header, and tuned to 91 octane, since the customer cannot get 93 octane in his area. The motor will then be crated and shipped to the customer... ready to drop-in and run!
