Good second event with the Boeing club this year. We had a friend staying over the weekend, so I went in early to help set up the course, and then had the friend ride along with me, before heading back home to grill. The course stayed dry for the entirety of my runs, save for…
First event of the season in Stl today – very cold temps. Struggled with the back end turn around, I think I should have braked in a straight-line first, more, and then went through. Car felt good, as it always does in the cold. Still working on slalom distance, and in general, save for the…
First event of 2018 – a lot of changes for the Evo this off season, but the car felt largely the same, apart of the tires. The ultimate grip isn’t far off but it feels like there is a delay in the steering to when the car actually turns. I also wasn’t able to adjust…

It was a very cold day, which helped the tires stay cool, which not overdriving them as well.…
Had a codriver for this event and lost this weekend – again struggled to find any time – this event, not improving after the very 1st run, where I felt like I wasn’t even “trying” – from reviewing my videos it certainly seems like I’m overdriving the car – instead of smoother inputs and carrying…
Struggled to find any time after my second run – not sure why, but one thing is that I can definitely brake less in a few spots – not all spots, but there are a few key places I can brake a little less and carry more speed. Things to work on (Evo): Line, looking…
