NPC: Run at the SCCA Majors Options

[ThePaintedMan]

So with the tutelage of you guys over the past few years I got a chance to prep a car for a gentleman making his first run for the SCCA Majors (formerly National Runoffs). This is our first weekend and with a fraction of the budget of the big boys in P2, so far we qualified 3rd for this afternoons race. If we finish well enough today and tomorrow, we only need to run Sebring next weekend and Road Atlanta to be in for Daytona in September. Already avoided a catastrophe yesterday when I spotted a control arm bolt nearly ground off by the curbs during my final check.[

Even cooler is that I've had two different team owners ask me to come crew for them next year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Anyhow, thanks for helping me get a foot in the door!

Nice; can't wait to see them. I'm just wondering what the kinematics look like. If it has very long arms like some modern DSR's it's kinematics are likely very roll insensitive so it very well might have too much camber like you're thinking. It might also have too little weight on the front and not be stiff enough in roll in the rear. With a spool (locked diff) or solid axle you often need to lift one rear wheel or you'll get a push.

Motor choice is great; Suzuki builds fantastic motors. Does it have a drysump or fancy pickup in the flat pan? If it doesn't and he's not killing motors from oil starvation on a regular basis he's definitely not driving hard enough! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
