I drove Barney out to my first Arizona Region SCCA Autocross last Sunday and had a blast. AZR runs a tight ship, had us hoping from the time we got there til we left about 2:30 pm. Mike Hitt came up and co-drove Barney with me, he did great considering he'd never even rode in the car before Sunday morning. That is a testament to a Ron Sutton setup, balanced and friendly enough that anyone can get in one and go fast with it right away.
Still getting used to the awesome Stoptech brakes and the new RSRT valved Ridetech shocks. I'm figuring out I can brake earlier and then get off the brakes before corner entry and the new Secret Sauce shocks will keep the front pinned down yet being off the brakes lets me carry WAY more speed into and thru the corner. There is more in it still, will just take time to learn to trust it'll stick.
Here was my best run of the day.
and here was Mike's best run of the day.
I finished a tenth off of Tommy Tomerdale in CAM T and Mike was right behind me. Tommy has an awesome 67 camaro with an LS6 and C5 front and rear suspension under it all on 315s. I'm pretty happy with how we did.
You can sort these by fast time and PAX...
