Drove up to St. Augustine for the SECC autocross and had a great time.
Beautiful weather (what we Floridians put up with summer for). Two
different surfaces - one area a large skid pad and each day just had one
hook so easy to trap the unwary.
Second day was even higher speed with a "top o'third" three cone slalom on
the front straight and a similar three gate array on the back with about a
block of straight leading to each. On the backside I had to keep repeating
to myself "Don't lift until nose is in the first gate". Is hard sometimes.
The "club car" concept is really a great one for all levels of experience.
Norm and Bob have done most of the work on the car including a fast fuel
filter change with blow out of the fuel line on Sunday. With many drivers
and a host of people taking fun runs, solid and reliable is the way to go.
Definitely shows that a good 110 can stay with the 140s and any Corvair
with trombones is going to make music.
Padgett.
