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.

Vintage racing has a lot less bumping and banging.

QUOTE(john rogers @ Jun 17 2010, 11:53 AM)  Vintage racing has a lot less bumping and banging. .............Vintage racing has NO bumping and banging., the penaltys can be quite severe....generally 1st offense, and IF both drivers are at fault...ejection from the event AND banned for the next (3) One to three events...2nd offense-Banned for a year from entering any events.Mandentory drivers school.Yellow stripe if you do return, the length/extent of time at discretion of (race director). 3rd offense ...your other racing options/venues will probably be your only choises.Your toast in Vintage racing. It takes skill and ability to overtake and pass (safely) another driver /car.Vintage racers are MUCH better drivers than you might think. |
