Looks like fun.
I'm still hoping to race at RA one of these days. |

Hey Vintage914racer, From an Old SCCA driver: nice smooth driving! I liked that you got faster and started using the curbs as you went (if it doesn't upset the car, they make a wider radius....so why not?). I was very annoyed by all the BLOCKING going on out there, not what I call sportsmanship. I'm glad you passed them! BTW: My last SCCA car was a datsun 510 and at 1830 lbs with 220 HP (L18=1800) and the roadster close ratio 5 speed, you didn't have much of a chance. The car I built would run between 6000 and 8000 RPM every lap, but I'm sure a professional engine builder would have it spinning to 9000 and making more HP. Your only weapon was superior aerodynamics. I'd love to see more of your outs, Terry |

There was definitely a lot of blocking this weekend, one guy blocked me for about 3 laps even though I am 10 seconds a lap quicker! I have some video of my other race that I'll try to post sometime soon. |

Great video of the practice race. Your car is pretty stout to be able to keep up with those 2.5L sedans for sure! I was happy to see that orange #171 car racing as I raced against it out here for many years. Jim Patrick of Phoenix built it for the owner and the guy's wife got it for him as a Christmas present, lots of $$$$$$ as the tub was dipped, welded, etc. I imagine Wayne Baker had a large contingent of cars there as he usually travels in a loop doing a bunch of vintages races with 6 or 8 cars.

I have some video of my other race that I'll try to post sometime soon. Hey Vintage914racer, I had a guy hold me up in the corners and then out-drag me on the straights for 3 laps at Streets of Willow and I was ready to get "Primeval on his Ass." It was just stupid discourteous driving on his part. Finally at the "Bowl" I dove under him and then moved up in front to be sure to block his acceleration off the corner. After that, I never saw him again as his disappeared in the mirrors. There seem to be a few who always show up: Big Ego, Tiny Cajones, who muck it up for the real drivers. Best of luck, next time out, Terry |
