Great day at the track!
The weather held off and we had an excellent day at the track.
Mikey was due out for qualifying at 8:00 AM but due to the nasty weather didn't go out. James and I were due out at 3:15 but I decided to stand on my best practice lap from yesterday as there was no way I could cut a better lap on a wet track. James decided to go out as Michael had a set of rain tires. Not sure he cut a better lap but, he got to feel the tires in the wet.
Spence was fighting a balky transmission but made the grid for the feature race.
The group 2 feature race was due to start at 12:55 or after the Can Am feature race. Those are some serious ground pounders with big block American fuel injected power. James, Spence and me were lined up on the grid for the feature race. It actually went very well for a grid parking event! James of course qualified well ahead of us. Finally the signal was given and it was on. We had two pace laps because everyone was not lined up. It's kinda like herding cats
With 66 or so cars it was a rolling traffic jam. I don't remember where I was gridded but, there were some really slow cars ahead of me. It was still fun picking them off. The track was dry and my engine was running very well. It has been consistent and really fun to drive. No belt issues. I thought at first I had the Latulippe belt throwing curse. Not so. Changing my shift points to 6000 RPM and a few other mods cured the belt issues.
So, it was time to hit the track. Lots of cars and traffic. I had an absolute blast. I was hitting my apexes and shift points just right. When you have a car that is running well it makes it easy to drive. I really felt I laid down some fast laps. The time sheets proved I was right. I cut a best ever lap time of 1:51.404.
I'll post some more as this POS internet connection is taking a dump as we type!
