I used this past weekend's Waterford Hills race as my first test session for the new car.
They threw this picture on the Waterford Hills website. Just thought I'd share it. (IMG:http://www.waterfordhills.com/gallery/jgr5y0414.jpg) Learned a lot this weekend, like how some lug nuts don't fit some wheels, how I needed more front flare (notice the flare extensions) and how much I can squeeze out of my Optima before I don't get enough juice to run (no alternator). More learning to come on 11-12 Sept, but this time at Mid-Ohio. |

I agree about the potential of the 4 cyl 914 in EP... or else I wouldn't be doing it. But, I also know it will take a while to get there. Let's not forget these top competitors have already sorted their cars and know how to extract the most out of them. It's going to be fun (and not easy), no question.
About covering the front suspension points. I was going to do that before the first SCCA race, but ran out of time. The tech inspectors didn't seem to care. But, I still wonder about that phrase "the driver/passenger/trunk compartments." Is it an all inclusive statement like "driver, passenger, or trunk compartments" or is the word trunk there to make sure hatchback driver cover their points from the driver? Another debatable rule. Anyway, I can make covers for them pretty easily. |
