We all have our special moments on the track, autoxing, running an enduro or some special motor sports event. What's yours? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

We all have our special moments on the track, autoxing, running an enduro or some special motor sports event. What's yours? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I can think of three events which share the top spot among my racing memories. 1) 2004 NARRC Regional Runoffs - Started on front row; Set personal best laptime at LRP (1:01.4) with only 140hp; Passed a much faster 240Z by outbraking him deep into Bigbend; Finished 1st in class, 3rd overall. Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnnPIlJfuNs Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmIusBf-kUM 2)2003 SCCA Lime Rock Spring National - Rain Race; 100hp engine; Fell to dead last on the first lap; Passed everyone except 5 E Prod cars, to finish first in F Prod, 6th overall; Passed a former F Prod National Champion; photo finish with the 2nd place car - a faster 914. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77oRaG_PoSg 3) 2003 SCCA National Championships - My first time at Mid Ohio; Started 21st, finished 14th - with 100hp; My last 5 laps were an intense race with a Lancia on his home track; Coverage of the last lap of our battle was shown on Speed TV with commentary by Johnny O'Connell and Dorsey Schraeder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aSeHAx7cW8 |

Really nice lines (and driver disipline) at Lime Rock Chris. Your average speed must have been really high! That guy in the Z was lucky he didn't go off, i.e., a bit all over the place! Sure would like to run that track. What HP is your motor now and how much do you think you picked up by dry sumping it? |
