QUOTE(trekkor @ Nov 20 2004, 01:13 PM) All the TTOD contenders hit the cones and go DNF. It's the few runs that they squeeze out at the end that put them on top. At SCCA, the first 3 runs count.......that tends to focus one's attention. One often gets more runs, but the times aren't published. Guys (and gals) that are really good will crack off 3 runs within a few tenths of each other. The cream still rises to the top. Frankly (flame suit on), PCA is the bush leagues by comparison......but they are fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The GGR seems to exclude cars other than Porsche. Thus, you don't get to see most of hot dogs in your area. Go to one of the SCCA National tour events in your area.....enter if your ego can take it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Your TTOD cars are (or seem to be) SCCA E Mod cars......fast, but not the fastest. Driven well....and quickly *within the first 3 runs*, they would prolly do well at SCCA. DNFs, loops, cones, going slow to learn the course... will get you a mid pack finish, BTDT.....all too often (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) A car *specificly setup for* E Mod (rather than.. oops your in E Mod cause ya got twin plugs) has taken TTOD at out local SCCA events....but not always. BIG tiars, low weight, decent P/W ratio will make you look good.....till ya run up against a bunch of hotdogs with similar set-ups. Hell, even *I* look gud at PCA.....sometimes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . I went up to a PNWR event this last season....not one of my better days, but that's not the point....an SCCA BSP C-4 Vette waxed the field by a second or more.....and them PNWR guys take their AX very seriously.....100 car fields are the norm. |
