Congrats to Samantha Silver. It was amazing to have her and Kyle officially return to a full season of racing Spec Miata.
Samantha like everyone else is why the community is so great. I can attest to that personally as she's given advice to all the new races and truly exemplifies her motto of "If racing is to survive, we need everyone". Something she truly means, and will fight for.
At the Blackhawk Majors, she suffered a blown engine and dealt with the gremlins of developing a new car. We saw Sam back on the podium at the Brainerd International Raceway, where she set the SM lap record. Unfortunately, she suffered more setbacks at being collected in a large crash at Road America at the June Sprints. If her outright speed isn't one of the best accolades, it would be her positivity and being a proper ambassador to the community.
Non-SCCA and SM-related, she would later win day 1 of the Landjager Cup at Road America with Kyle, friends, and her father. I hope this puts a nice bookend to the 2024 season for her.
Looking forward to seeing Samantha out there in and seeing what 2025 brings!
