Well it was an up and down weekend. I put in new front koni shocks and raised the spindles 19mm, but didnt have time to adjust anything. So I go out to practice and had a little rubbing so I bring it in. Fix that and go to qualify, but the oversteer was scary. 25th is where I started. A few laps in I'm up to 14th then a Miata slams the back right corner a sends me sideways. I regroup in 21st and finish 13th. The back bumper is toast and have some body damage. I go out to qualify for sundays race and get pulled in for passing under yellow. They throw out all my times and tell me I have to start last 33rd. At the start of the race I get hit on the left rear corner and sent sideways again. (miata) I save it and start passing people in turn 2,3,4,5,6,8 and on the inside of nine. From 33rd to 8th not bad in 14 laps. My oil temps were 250 to 280 with three oil coolers dont no whats going on with that. I also got passed on the straight by a miata so I think Im down on power.

Im Albert Correia and race a 914 in fp scca. That race was at Laguna Seca #5 and 6.
The problem with the class is ITA, ITC, ITS and ITB all race together. These guys are not true racers. when somebody makes a pass you need to realize you lost that place, but these guys dont care they slam you or turn in on you if your inside of them. I got hit three times. After the race on sunday one guy was mad at me because he said i hit him. He hit my back rear fender. I was 3/4 of a car ahead. who hit who? These miats are beat to hell. Smashed on every panel. Im not into that. I passed 25 cars without hitting anything. I told the guy it was my fault I was in the back and that was the last time he was ever going to see me. He got so mad he wanted to fight. LOL |

Im Albert Correia Hey Albert! I haven't seen you in a while. I'm glad you finally joined the site ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) As for the Miatas, we had a Miata guy who was supposedly a good driver join our 911 spec group (with PRC) at Sears last year. He drove a loaner 911. Took him no less than 2 laps to hit another car and both spun off. There was pretty good damage to both cars. Same scenario as yours, he was at the tail of another car, bumped him in the rear and then both spun into each other and off the course. Needless to say, he never got invited back ...
