2014 Event #1
Posted: Wed May 07, 2014 6:01 pm
So the first event back on street tires was an interesting one...
Took 4th out of 6 in Street Touring Compact.
I was the fastest driver NOT in a '91 Civic Si hatchback. For those unfamiliar, this is the king car in this class. This car transforms even the most pedestrian driver into being respected at the national level. And my club has produced 3 national champions in this class in this car.
Basically I did all I can do...
Notable:
-Blew out the baffle in the muffler on the first run. Car was deafening the rest of the day! Extremely glad that I towed it to the event, AND that Thrush mufflers are only $39.99 LOL
-I was only 1 second back from 3rd, and the closest Si to me...
-I was 2 seconds from the top of the class. In the past in this class a class winning hatch would beat me by 2.5-3 seconds. This shows improvement, and the fact that the new tires are worth the $.
-Codriver Chad improved 6 seconds throughout the day. Good first event in 4 years for him? On track for a good year for sure...
Missing event #2 on May 25, and will be back in action at event #3 on June 8th!!!
