Yes, it's true. The SCCA Solo season is officially over. The final event was held at Compuware arena in Plymouth. I recently installed my Schroth 3 point harness and Kumho VictoRacer tires on my cougar so I had a better vehicle setup than any other race this year. Unfortunately, I didn't adjust my harness properly the first run so I wound up wasting it. The next three runs were better, but I now realize I was "plowing" through the turns (not braking enough before entering the turn). I didn't do as well as I'd hoped, but I did accomplish what I set out to do, which was wear in and get used to my new tires, and get comfortable with the new harness. Unfortunately, I have to wait 6 months before I can go again :(. At least I'll have event photos to look at while it snows outside.

Clarification: my girlfriend not only helped me out at the race itself, she also helped me put on and take off my tires for the race. She's now officially a car geek chick! (overalls coming soon) AtomicInternet |
