Yep, dis was me with the F body behind the class c...That coach doesn't even know its following me.....What a fun weekend. Weather and the people were fantastic. Great times....Pics a comin. From me and Sieg...I didn't take much as it was pretty busy competing.

Car did fair with the new set up. I can no longer outdrive the car, it out drove me. The cure, more saddle time. Fried something in the clutch assembly though, doing something weird, at the end of the main stretch, after turn one, it felt like the clutch was slipping (motor revs with nothing getting transfered to the wheels, like a slipping clutch) but then it would come back at turns 4-5 and be fine until the next time i went down the main straight. The clutch also became hard to push in during that weird time, then it was fine....thinking it may be throwout bearing related....:thumbsup:

What clutch master Mike? Stock 4th gen? You may need a drill out and a larger hose, then get the ait out. Common.

Left T-Hill at 6 pm and 398 miles later pulled in the driveway at 11:44 pm.........Dogs loved, truck's unloaded, celebratory whiskey is poured.......time to start uploading photos.

What a great energy packed weekend!

Jimi Day and his crew have really created something special IMO. The venues are exceptional, the company's and their representatives (owners in numerous cases) supporting USCA are second to none. The drivers that are committed to making as many events across the Nation as possible are hard driving, hard core competitors with a lot of talent. They are all very accessible, accommodating, and enthusiastic about the sport and life in general and it's infectious. There are so many great people supporting and attending these events yet words just cannot accurately describe the atmosphere, you have to engage and experience it firsthand to really understand what has been created in the last few years.

From my observations the regional competitors that entered and competed had a weekend they'll never forget or regret, the financial and scheduling efforts appeared to be well worth the effort. Observing and talking with the drivers, support crew, and family members attending was such positive energy that it's hard to describe.........hopefully my photographs will accurately depict what I've attempted to quickly summarize after a 6 hour solo night drive. :thumbsup:

Be patient as it will take a few hours just to upload the files (guessing 3,500 images) and about a week to weed the images and edit the trophies........back to my celebratory glass. :cheers:

Thanks Mike, I'll either PM you or start another thread with my pulling with a Class C questions...

Sounds like it was yet another great event put on by the USCA. Glad the weather held out for you all. The track looked FUN from the few videos I've seen of it. The autocross curse looked a bit short and tight though and I don't think I've seen any videos of the speed stop yet. How'd you fair in Saturday's events? had you ever done a Speed Stop before?

Hope you get your clutch ills figured out quickly and painlessly.
