Stl Solo Event 8 was on Saturday, but unfortunately didn’t get to record ANY videos, as I left my camera at home. This is triple-y disappointing, as I ran in both the Mini and the Evo, as well as having a codriver for the evo – more on that later. Despite trying to get into…
Was really hoping ZROD would be the one for me, but not tooo crazy about the wear here. The iron was a little higher and there was some tin that popped up that I wasn’t expecting. Starting to wonder at this point if the Mini motor likes lots of molybdenum… Despite that, decently happy with…
Now that I’ve had some time to digest nationals and the rest of the season, thought I’d jot down some notes about how Nationals went & moving forward. Where I am comparatively: 12th of 18 from Nationals 2/3rds through my first/second “real” season of autox, I’m still far off pace. http://sololive.scca.com/HS.html From my Nationals “Pregame,”…
Concluded nationals on Friday! Had a terrible run on the East course. never got a great feel for it, just not well driven etc. The two drivers who should have beaten me on Thursday (coned their fastest runs) did so on Friday, putting me 12th of 18 drivers. Overall, I am satisfied with how I…
Not a whole lot to say after Day 1. The West course was tough IMO, and the harder I tried to push the slower my times ended up being, so my first run is my fastest, with a time of 65.180. I’m relatively far from catching anyone, and two people nipping at my heels with…
Since I wasn’t able to get this entire week off work, I’ve been stuck here at my desk watching the numbers slowly pop up on Solo Live. I figure with the data that I do have, from Spring Nationals and Nationals last year, I can run some numbers and get some kind of estimate of…
irst time with BSCC’s autox today at the newly (still in progress) paved Family Arena. Fairly satisfied with what they were able to put out, especially with the lot we had available to us. The main point of the event, and so soon from nationals, was to break in the the new RS3V2s. I am…
I’d been debating whether or not I’d want new tires, whether I’d want them before or after nats, what tires to get in general etc. – decided to just go for it and bought brand new Hankook RS3V2’s in 205/45-16. This setup is a good bit shorter than what I had been running with the…
Pretty much since Spring Nationals at Lincoln, I decided I would greatly benefit from tinting the windows. No limo tint or anything illegal, but enough to cool down the interior (black car, albeit white roof) & protect me from UV rays. The sun felt like it was 5 ft above me at Lincoln, and in…
These were purchased more as a stop-gap before I moved onto the Hankook RS3’s. Very impressed with these tires overall. The talk is that these tires required a lot of heat to be happy, which I found to be true. I kind of liked that about these tires, as opposed to the ZII’s. I can…
