Second BSCC event of the year – decided to give the Evo a shot at this event, as I had some settings to test out on the car. Overall, this car is so much different from the Mini that it’s hard to adjust for the first couple of runs. It’s also tough, as I usually…
Sunday was interesting – while we ran Saturday’s course more or less in reverse, some key changes were made, resulting in an extremely fast section up – I was at 5100rpms in 3rd gear (~70mph) before I had to shut it down through the back stretch. Again the car felt fine, not much to report…
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…
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…
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…
Had a nice little 2 week break from autox after I had been stressing out over it after the last event. I had hoped taking some time off from it would help clear my mind some, and get back into it with a little more motivation and driving wisdom possibly. While I don’t think it…
On to the main event! Sunday’s course in Chicago was long and technical, with special emphasis on getting line and placement of the car correct. While it is definitely good training, I never felt entirely comfortable on the course. On top of that, the dieselpower driver who beat me at the 2nd event was there,…
Well, I wasn’t 100% sold on going to this event until a day or two beforehand, but given that it was more or less on the way to Joliet for chisolo #3, decided to give it a shot. As is typical of the RCC Scholarship AXs, there were very few drivers, 10 runs on a…
This has been a jam packed season so far! Tough course today, with some very tight sections. I worked registration as well as timing for the first time, and the cone calls were really up there. I was supposed to run during the 3rd heat, but due to a lack of people driving it was…
A few hiccups which I’ll get to later, but I think I can confidently say Starting Line is worth the money! Not to rehash the website, but I’d like to break down what all you get for $325. 1 year of SCCA membership + Sports Car magazine ($85, slightly depending on region) 1 entry to a…
