SCCA Solo Nationals

[31rx7]

For those who are interested. Just got back. Short story:

 

- Ran in ST and co-drove a 1989 Civic Si

- Finished 9th out of 16 in the Pro Solo Championship. Tweaked the car a lot to get it decent.

- Had a distributor go bad (anyone with spare EF Civic SI distributors, PM me!)

- Took the car to a shop for a final alignment on Tuesday, went to the test course, and the car was hit by a wheel that flew off a Lotus Exige! Spent the next 24 hours working on the car and searching junkyars for a trailing arm to replace the bent one. Got it back together and on the test course Wednesday afternoon.

- Car was good but I hit cones on the first day (Thursday), leaving me in 25th. Co-driver Travis was 16th. Field size was 37.

- Drove better but not to potential on Friday, improving to 19th. Co-driver Travis was bit by the rain and finished 28th.
