My son Matt got his first class win yesterday at Thunderhill in the SF Bay Region's SCCA "Hall of Fame Regional". There were about 25 cars in the Formula race; from Formula Atlantic cars to Formula Mazda (four cars in his class); six classes all together and Matt placed sixth overall! His best lap time was around 1:50; the best lap for the winning Formula Atlantic was around 1:45. Matt had a minor incident with some barrels in the qualifying round on Saturday and we had to work off our butts to swap out the left radiator and castor rod, reset the F/R ride height and some minor body taping work - over 15 hours at the track that day. Luckily for us we were able to "cannibalize" parts from a donor car that had un-fixable tranny issues. Very hot and smoky in Willows! Two more Formula Mazda Challenge racing weekends coming up at Infineon in late August and November with possibly another non-Mazda Challenge SCCA event in there somewhere.
Later, PS Note my hat - "showing the colors"!  |

Hey Tom,
Congrats to Matt! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) You seemed really optimistic about the car and setup when I saw you at Canepa Design. Now get the 914 back and running! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Jim |
