Good job guys!

As Jake said, I will do what I can to make the Runoffs with my current engine and make the swap to RABY power later this season. I have enough races in the schedule, but CENDIV has a lot of production racers, and this year, everybody's out trying to make the last M-O Runoffs. With this engine, the strong GP guys motor by me no problem, so I'm left with the table scrapes for points.... if there aren't 10+ EP competitors (not uncommon in CENDIV). For example: GingerMan had 9 EP competitors and everyone knew the weather was going to be horrible.

I have lots to learn about the car and myself, so bring it on.

Next race: Grattan National, less than 2 weeks away.... 14-15 May

I went to Mylaps.com to look at the race results and the bargraph below is a sample of what they have.
I can directly compare my times with any competitor in the race. For instance, I looked at the times of the GTI and he did only 10 laps under 1:25, while I did 13 laps under 1:25.
The gap between us grew to more than 6 seconds early in the race before I cut it back to about 2 seconds. I was working hard to catch up when I had my big off course, costing me 12 seconds. Then I continued to lay down some good times at the end.

Here's a numeric listing of my times from Mylaps.
One thing I noticed after the race - I felt like I could continue racing a lot longer, as I wasn't tired.
I attribute that to my morning workouts of running on a treadmill about 4 times a week while watching in-car videos.

Mylaps.com uses data directly from the AMB transponders in all our cars.
It can even display live timing information. SCCA plans to have an in-car system available for displaying transponder data. No more need for a beacon at trackside with a sensor in the car.

I was using Hoosier Wets from 2003. I don't think they ever got hot.
I plan on running Hoosier 35 compound slicks soon, and when I can afford it a new set of rains.

I am not a Hoosier guy but one of the RX7s I work on runs them. The R45A is supposed to be softer than the R45 and last longer than the R35. Supposed to work out better than both. On your heavy car you could use something that last as well as sticks.
