I used this past weekend's Waterford Hills race as my first test session for the new car.
They threw this picture on the Waterford Hills website. Just thought I'd share it. (IMG:http://www.waterfordhills.com/gallery/jgr5y0414.jpg) Learned a lot this weekend, like how some lug nuts don't fit some wheels, how I needed more front flare (notice the flare extensions) and how much I can squeeze out of my Optima before I don't get enough juice to run (no alternator). More learning to come on 11-12 Sept, but this time at Mid-Ohio. |

I ran 3 track sessions and multiple starts in between sessions on one charge. Then it started missing, ironically during the start of the race.... the first dry session. So, I pulled off right after the start. It missed so bad that I didn't think I could make it around the track and at that point I didn't realize that was the problem. I purchased a "jump pack" and plan on using it to start the car and I should be able to easily make it through a weekend on one charge.
Brand new race car. I'd paste my "before" picture, but I haven't figured out how to pull an image off of my computer and stuff it up here. SCCA still allows chop tops, they're just trying to figure out how to deal with partial width main hoops, particularly the car's that don't have main hoops that go at least 50% across. Since this is a full width hoop, this type of cage is not being debated, which certainly influenced my decision on which type of main hoop to build. Thanks for the kind words. |
