Kale's SCCA Solo Nationals Thread

Quick update:

 

Back from Nationals. Based on the fact that I jumped in a car I'd never driven, had a handful of runs on the small test and tune track, and then competed, I'm happy with 11th place out of 59 drivers in the class. Trophies went to 16th in the class. Car was loose all weekend, and even more loose than I am used to and like.

 

Looking for my own car now to take back for next year. Thanks for all the well wishes.

I know it sounds kind of 'Mickey Mouse' but it all depends on the size of the class. Honestly, in the Autocross world if you can trophy at Nationals, you are typically pretty happy about it....especially being my first trip out.

 

hopefully next year I can take my own car out that I know a little better.....
