2015 Event #3

[mmarshall]

I finally ran my 1st event of competition on Sunday. Even though we ran in the rain and got soaked, I had a blast. I got to try out the new windows which worked pretty well. They just need a few tweaks to be more functional. Of course the additional power from the cam swap helped matters, but for much of my heat I could not use all the power on tap due to the wet track.

The track was very fast and flowed nicely. I have swapped out the Konis in the rear for some double adjustable Viking shocks. They are a new shock company and are of similar design to QA1's. These new shocks have now cured my remaining oversteer problems and the car is much faster and easier to drive at the limit. I also now have double adjustable AFCO shocks up front.

Fastest run of the day with a light drizzle and a damp track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfBMm0F0qMM

Nice run Mike, would of loved to be there but had stuff to get done, plus the car was drying out from our run in Farmington with the club.

Thanks Rick! Your car would have turned into a bathtub. It came down by the buckets in the morning and rained off and on all day.

I think all but one car that was faster than me was in the 3rd heat which was dry for all but the last run. The one car in my heat that was faster was a 1985 Reynard open wheel car. He was only 2 tenths faster.
