SCCA, Sunday at the Marina Options

[Randal]

Unless some business thing gets in the way I'll be heading down to the Marina on Sunday to run against the big time National SCCA boys and girls.

I figure if I get within a second or so of the top boys I'll have bragging rights. After all a little 914 (4) with about 1/3 of the HP the national guys run shouldn't be anywhere near as fast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm a little nervous about trying the completely new tire / suspension set up, but now we find out if all the calculations and changes are right.

If nothing else, it'll be fun to be behind the wheel again. The last event I did was the fall enduro in Medford - 6 months ago.

Wish JP was going to be around.

Did I hear that Britain was coming to this SCCA event?

So do I. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


I hear Brit is headed down that way but I don't know exact dates. A marriage in the family screwed up his long range plans.

You'll do fine, Randal. SCCA guys up this way are some of the nicest folk I've come across. Just run your own race and you'll have a fine time.
As for power, OK, you're down some but you'll have to look long & hard for folks with a lighter car.....and yours actually handles.

I'll admit that a new set-up is tough on fellas like us'n. Builder/drivers are caught between two forces. I can only suggest for you to trust your build and just drive. At an AX, the only thing I messed with on the car were tire pressures......Track time at SCCA is very limited......4 maybe 5 runs. One looses focus if you spend time messing with the car. Consider it "done" and 'run what'cha brung"......oh, and have fun.
