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…
Pennzoil Ultra – 55 runs autox, 3,436mi. 6,463 miles on the car total – 5/29/2014 date of change Z-ROD 10w30 in. This oil is thicker than most 30weight oils, and IMO what anyone who is running 0w40 should be running. Will flow better than 0w40 in the cold, and protect as well if not better…
Decent wear with the 5w30 PU despite being a thinner oil, but sadly this Pennzoil is no longer sold in this configuration.
Didn’t want this to get buried. Got to weigh the car while I was at Spring Nats over the weekend. Came in at 2413 with about 3 gallons of gas in the car. I imagine it’ll be about 2400 bone dry, and probably around 2475 with a full tank of gas. Good to know!
East Course – 5/26/2014 Day 2 of the tour started like Day 1 did – with a downpour of rain overnight. It again looked like dry runs were going to be hard to come by. The East Course drains water much much slower than the West Course due to it being a drain for pretty…
West Course – 5/25/2014 Sunday was the first day of the National Tour portion of Spring Nats. We woke up in the morning to a completely soaked course and drizzling all morning. Rain has been the story all weekend, and Sunday was no different. However, the course completely, completely dried by 2nd heat while I…
