SCCA event #3 and #4, aka the CenDiv’s. The weekend started out great, well almost….. 1st run out and we (Andy and Eric) knew something wasn’t right. Blown shock. Jump on the driver’s front, car didn’t move much, do that to the other side and the car bounced like a 1980 Cadillac.  We called every single place we could think of, nothing in stock anywhere.  So, the only thing left we could think of, is to drive faster!   We finished the weekend with a 1/3 finish in class, and 13^th/28^th overall out of 177 total entries.

Shane in his 2005 Subaru STi had some problems of his own.  The ABS started acting up for unknown reasons.  If you know STi’s very well, you know that when the ABS doesn’t work, neither does the DCCD system.  So Shane had to drive his ass off with a half-ass working AWD system and no ABS.  He took 5th in class and 64th/177 overall.

SCCA hosted their 2nd event of the season this past weekend.  Eric and I ended up with a perfect 1/2 finish in class and a 3/4 finish overall.  Car setup was the same except for the new Hankook RS3 tires.  They seem to offer more grip, but didnt have the crisp feel as the starspecs.  The tires also really like to talk back when you push them beyond their grip level.

The day went pretty smooth, was very hot and sunny, and the course was tough to master (at least for me it seemed that way).  I feel there was still more time to be found but just couldnt pull of “that” run.  Really hoping next event to get that 1st on PAX.
