Another great day. Hot, especially in a drivers suit, but bottles of water down both my front and back help.
The buggies got down in the low 2.00 minute range, but it seemed like they were changing engines every time I looked. Greg would be in the 1:4X range if he could get the buggy to turn.
Grant ended up with a 1:55 with his 370Z enduro racer, actually quite good for this difficult hill. His cornering speed was impressive when I was on turn 9 watching him blast through.
Also had two major offs at this corner, during my assignment there, but no drivers were hurt.
222 ended up 2nd overall with a 1:52, also setting another hill record for the SPU class. Got in front of both well driven Z06 Corvettes which was my objective. The Avon tires worked great even when the pavement was 130 degrees. I am really sold on the soft Avons.
Today was especially rewarding as everyone was saying how greasy the course had gotten in late morning (I was running in the PM when it was a bunch hotter). So my first run in the PM was tentative (1:54) as I didn't want to crash. But the better part of valor kicked in and ended up taking two seconds off my first run.
With a few more HP 222 could break into the 40's.
Bottom line: A 175HP at the rear wheels, set up 914, can really make your day.
