After a long year of thrashing on the car I was able to kick off my long needed vacation by attending my first ever event, USCA Fontana!! I had worked on the car after work and every weekend constantantly until the wee hours of the morning up until the day before the event. While there were many things left to do I went online at midnight and registered. I was nervous about how the car would do and how i would do.
The event was fantastic!! My driving....no so (spun out once and blasted through the first turn at the speed stop
). It was a fun learning curve. I drove the car there and drove it home both days. It held up despite some trans issues, poor suspension set up, some braking issues and some bad driving. Wilwood was great and helped me throughout the weekend. I learned some things about set up from other drivers and the instructors provided helped me yet further. It made all of the work and stress worth it. After the event I bolted home, showered, jumped in the daily driver and headed to the airport buzzed from the event.
For other new guys like me out there that are still working on their cars, keep plugging away. The rewards are great!
