SpeedSF Presents: The Heads Inside the Helmets with Jovan Fiel

Jovan’s car life has been an interesting one. Back in the day, Jovan found himself on the track with a 1991 Miata doing all kinds of hooning, until one day the NA’s motor blew up no thanks to crank walk. Taking a hiatus, Jovan drove boring cars while his day job consisted of playing with Porsches. In December 2019, Jovan found himself behind yet another Miata, this time a track-ready 2001 NB Miata with fresh Hankook RS4s and just-broken-in brake pads (G-LOC R10 fronts and R8 rears). He went to Thunderhill West and had a blast. This soon became his favorite track because of how fun the track is overall along with Thunderhill West being the NB’s maiden track voyage.

Since March of this year, Jovan has been tracking with SpeedSF and other organizations non-stop. A three-day event at Laguna? Why not, let’s go for it! His personal best was a 1:53; very good for a first timer! While no big upgrades are in the works just yet, his future ambitions for the car include a Hotside MP62 supercharger, all-flat undertray and mild aero along with, of course, focus on the driver mod (aka lots and lots of seat time).

“All of my homies drive with SpeedSF, so I like to come here. The event runs smoothly, people generally know which run groups they belong in results in less traffic. Definitely, egos are at a minimum.”

Hope to see Jovan at our future events!
