Yesterday was the State Championship and this year it was held in Fort Myers on a concrete airport runway. The course was +5300 feet long without any real straight sections. It seems like I was always in a turn. The fastest times were turned by the kart guys with the fastest around 72 seconds. My best was 82.3XX and I won my class. We only had three runs and I think I could off taken another .5 second off with another run. I only had one other guy in my class and he was running a Mini-stock car. He told me it weighs 1200 pounds and runs a motorcycle engine with 125 hp. His times were about 8 seconds off mine.

Here is some shots of my car ready for battle...

Here is a good example of how to spend your money. The guy with the GT3 shown above towed his car on a dinky open trailer behind a Toyota pickup and he won his class. The guy in this picture saved money on his car by buying a Mustang but decided to buy 300-400k on a motorhome and trailer. BTW, he didn't win his class. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Never doubted for a minute. Good work!

Whatinthehell is that red thing? Says EM but SCCA requires the car be recognizable as something series produced if it's DM or EM. Doesn't look like anything except maybe a very loose Lotus 7 clone.

Got a link to results?

Yeah, That's the Stalker V6. Even though it's not a real Lotus 7 it was lobbied into the class. Powered by a GM 3800 Supercharged V6. 1400lbs and 275hp.

How were the Emod times compared to yours?

The Lotus 7 copy had a 80.758 my best time was a 83.209.

That wacky front engined v-8 had a 89.5

The results are here...

SCCA is tough, eh?
It seems that every region has a few nationally competitive
drivers with cars prepped to the limits. Couple that with "the first 3 runs"
bit and it can make it hard on a guy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Gud job on the class win. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
