John Linger was a developing driver racing in the Spec Miata class of NASA, a national multiclass championship where amateur and semi-professional entrants share the track with graded professionals. He competed for three seasons between 2011 and 2013, making 12 starts across that span before retiring from the series.[1]
Linger finished 98th in the championship standings in his final season, 2013. His record placed him typically behind Ken Wilkinson, a regular opponent who had made over a hundred NASA starts, while he was closely matched with Jimmy Myers, another developing driver with comparable experience in the series. He occasionally finished ahead of Adam Molaver, a club-level driver with substantial NASA experience, and once beat Scott Phillips, a competitive amateur with additional SCCA credentials.[2]
