Call it a salute to clean racing among different series of race cars.
We had featured some promising starts and close finishes in the month of October, but it was Calvin Rowe’s simple, yet clean pass that earned it the prize in the October NASA Racing Gear Store Move of the Month.
Making a pass on an out-of-class car in a high-speed corner requires two things from both drivers: awareness and cooperation.
NASA Great Lakes 944 Spec racer, and 2025 National Champion, Calvin Rowe exited Mid-Ohio’s Turn 11 with a head of steam headed down Thunder Valley, with Spec Miata driver Michael Spivey just ahead.
Rowe presents himself to Spivey in the classic fashion — by filling his rear view mirror — then making a decisive move toward the inside of the turn. Spivey gets the message and doesn’t take his car all the way to the inside curbing, and letting Rowe get by. Sometimes those things don’t go that well, so it’s nice to see the awareness and cooperation in mixed-class racing.
Congratulations to Calvin Rowe for the win!
