Second home event of the year. Didn’t go that great, but more on that later. Stressful start to the day, as I decided to do worker assignments as my work assignment, and had a lot of trouble getting enough workers for heat 1. I also had some of my friends from Champaign who wanted to…
Boeing 1 had unfortunately been canceled due to rain, and there was real possibility for this event to be canceled as well. The forecast wasn’t looking good, but fortunately the morning was relatively dry, and so the event was on, regardless of what rain would come down later. Doubly lucky, being a Saturday event this…
Evo has been holding up nicely to its relatively grueling schedule thus far, but I have done a little maintenance with it to make sure things continue smoothly: The right front bumper/lip took a beating, presumably at the CCSCC school, and the lip actually cracked. Not only that, but the new undertray I installed had…
Didn’t feel like I was the season was underway without the first home points event! Decided to dual drive the Mini & the Evo this event, and in general I will be dual driving most Stl Solo points events, as I have the ability to work Heat 1 and Registration, in order to maximize seat…
The Evo’s battery had a very sudden death after the CCSCC School & Test n Tune. Drove home, parked the car, tried to start it 2 days later and it wouldn’t go. Very strange, since it started up just fine on Saturday and Sunday morning in Champaign. Had the battery tested at Autozone and turned…
First event of the year in the Evo was the annual CCSCC school & Test n Tune. Had a great time out here last year in the Mini and I thought it’d be a good chance for me to take out the Evo, get more seat time in the car and get more comfortable with…
With all the changes I’d made, I had SPS once again align and corner balance the Evo. With the new plates, the alignment specs became: Overally pretty satisfied with how it turned out. I thought I’d get a liittle more caster out of the plates than I did, but I think for now everything is…
Next up for the Evo was installing the Ciro Design caster plates. With the rear of the Evo wrapped up, just projects with the front end of the car left. We made quick work of uninstalling the front struts of the Evo. This was a very easy process. Just 3 15mm bolts at the top…
Annual kick-off test n tune with Stl Solo @ Family arena. Great event and went very smoothly. With events now $40/per, $45 for a tnt is extremely good bang for the buck. After a so-so first event with the CCSCC, the TnT was a good chance for me to get acclimated in the Mini again.…
ith Chicago region being down, and our neighboring CSCC in Indy being down as well, there was a huge turnout and lots of talent at the event. With the stiffer bumpstops and this being my girlfriend’s first event, I decided to put the sway bar in the middle setting. I was really happy with how…
