I was at Thundherhill Raceway up in Willows, CA today. Will again be running here tomorrow. Today I got in 5 sessions and continued to play with the suspension settings of Lucille. Lots of fun for all. Temps were in the mid 70's and there was a slight breeze. Man, this was so much nicer than sitting in my office at work....
Got the Spec car down to 2:13.5 laps. This is going to be a nibbling process to break into the 9's. I had Dan Thompson ride with me today and we haven't quite figured out where to get those 3.5 seconds yet. I was flat to the floor in several spots on the track, including several turns. I softened the shocks in the afternoon and picked up 1 second, so we'll try a few things in the early morning sessions. I'll then put on the V710's and see if we can put the car in the 11's or 12's.
The only bummer of the day was seeing Fritz with the new owner break a stub axle and chew up the 930 rear trailing arm. They were frantically working on it in the afternoon and had a new axle in, but the damage to the trailing arm may be too great to reattach the rear brake caliper. Until the mechanical, the car looked great. Poor Fritz....
Can't wait for tomorrow....man do I love driving on the track....
