Nice run on Tuesday Eric! Per data my 3rd run was definitely my fastest until I over drove and DNF'd after the wallom. Lot of grip out there even with Bridgestones, and I was able in the build some tire pressure even.

At the national level, with the STI/EVO/Focus RS coming to DS next year, I think this car may be done in street class (locally it's fine though).

The Twin in DS has been dead for quite sometime. IMO.

Anyways, another fun year at Nats with a disappointing finish. Basically the story of my life lol.

ProSolo Saturday morning I had a good start with some obvious mistakes - Took the opportunity Saturday afternoon to improve and drop some time, but ended up coning away overall 7 tenths worth of improvements on both sides combined and was jumped by a couple people who took advantage. I was pretty pissed, thought Sunday was going to be completely wet. We had a drying right side and a partially wet left - enough that times weren't going to improve over there. I was able to put a run together, not great but it was clean an enough for me to retake the lead and finish with a full 70 points for the Pro Finale.

Nats was rough. Tuesday had to deal with drying conditions and simply just didn't have the correct combination to be up there with times (Single driver, BFGs on a colder day and drying conditions). Tried to throw together a final run but got too close to 121 and nipped it with my rear wheel, thus ending any opportunity of a jacket.

Wednesday I wanted to take STX FTD, and I did. However still not really happy with the run. Data shows a 67.6 just based off my 3 runs, I'm convinced a 67.4 was out there.

Beautiful. Excellent driving. And congratulations! :thumbsup:

Stupid water splashes knocking over cones!

Yeah, you kinda did everything just right. Nice driving and nice meeting you out there.

Not sure if I missed it, but is this your 1st year autoxing? Also, now that the event is over, mind sharing your alignment/shock settings like most other SSC peeps?

Haha you say that as if I've kept mine a secret. I shared them instantly with anyone that has asked. I'm pretty sure I did as well on the SSC Facebook page.
Not my first year autoxing. My first yr was 2008 with 2 events, deployed for a yr returned, 3 events early 2010 broken car in 2010ish, I had a decent 2011/12 with about 12 events. Deployed, returned Oct 13, bought a 1.8 stsm miata did about 6 events deployed most of 2014, caught a few events at the end of 14 into 15. Had ankle surgery that took me out may-aug. Went to nats in STX with just 1 events in the car. Maybe 5-6 events after 15 nats until summer of 16 when I deployed for year thru August of 17. Caught 3-4 local events then deployed again in March 18, came back early june ecause of some health issues with the family. Bought a friends old D street car and the first event was lateJuly. .


Bars stiff stiff. 1/2 turn from soft on both ends. 31.5 and 30 psi. I will repost/ send the alignment sheet through Facebook
