Good driving Todd especially after having it get away from you 3 times on lap one. That sea of cones makes it tough to pick up apexes even with the elevated perspective of the camera. Did they have apex references on Saturday?

Very few if any. Take a look at Brians laps in Mike's car on Saturday. I was braking well before the braking zone cones and so was everybody I spoke with at the taco party. It was really a fun and challenging course. I think they could make it a little more user friendly especially since most of the guys are greener than me.

Todd,

I thought about what I would do with your car and I have a couple suggestions. Increase compression in the front and less rebound in the rear. Maybe a bit more spring in the front also. I would not touch the sway bar until you do these things. You need to keep the front end from diving so much. You have a really fast car and getting the car more stable at higher speeds and braking will really help you go fast.

I have an SCCA event coming up in 2 weeks and I'll let you know how it works out. :cheers:

Ok guys and gals, here are the official times for Payback & Blue Balz.


Payback

Speed Stop Challenge: 21.830
Road Course: 1:44.2(Have an email into Brian, think this is from Friday based on my stop watch and go pro video)
Autocross: 41.747(Me driving, Mary didn't drive Sat./ course changed)

Blue Balz

Speed Stop Challenge: 22.750
Road Course: 1:44.6
Autocross: 41.660

Folks, this is how close this deal is getting. From less than .1 in autocross to under a second in the speed stop. We both have plenty of excuses but it was a hard fought, close battle. I'm proud to be competing with such fine cars and drivers.

Tires (according to my inside tire source) are worth .5 second -- between 200 and 100 tread wear -- on an autocross of this size.

An epic battle that was fun to witness! And fun to read about!:cheers:


All times are GMT -7. The time now is 12:20 PM.
