Team Slick Auto - Ontario1500

[Slick]

Very wet sessions today in Grand Bend.

Managed to beat Team Scion Racing by 2 spots in Time Attack! Got 3rd place behind the #99 Subaru STi, with the Camaro SS ripping off a great lap to pip us all.

Right after lunch we have 2 back-to-back autocross sessions, with hopefully a bracket drag racing session if the track can dry out later.

Here's the video of my Time Attack run from this morning.

Could've trimmed off at least another half second, but they reduced the # of sessions from 3 down to 2 to get them done for lunch.

I had a very fun 1st lap, trying to test grip levels, check out the vid.
Fastest lap was on the 3rd and final lap, 68.085 secs.
Got 3rd place!

Also 2 third place finishes in autocross today.

Solidly in 2nd overall.
Looking to have a great final day tomorrow with only 2 events left:

• Time Attack on Mosport New DDT
• Autoslalom to wrap up!

Bam!
We won 2nd place overall!

Excellent. I bet a lot of the other competitors didn't see that coming on day 1

Congrats guys!

Amazing. Some would say you brought a knife to a gun fight and you still kicked a$$. This 2nd place is 99% driver(s) skill, 1% car. Very impressive!

[Klinn]

Great job guys!

Very impressive result considering the hardware the other teams were packing. Skill and consistency counts!

@Slick do you happen to have a build list somewhere? Would love to see how your car is setup

Pretty much what's in my sig with a few addendums:
- custom rear diffuser (ver.2 coming soon)
- front carbon lip
- ride height adjusted to only 1" lower max to not disturb geometry
- Apexi dampers worked better than expected really, but higher end coilovers are on the list
- street/track alignment
- rear subframe and diff insert bushings
- we were unable to use E85 fuel due to the Ontario1500 rules even though we were grouped with 300-500+ hp cars
- seat time, seat time, seat time. Repeat as necessary....

@Slick tell me more about this diffuser.. Will it be commercialized?

Common!? Who are you kidding here? Good driver + best suspension setup + best exhaust setup + best tires - rear wing - forced induction does not equal 2 tenth of a sec behind a well setup FI scion racing speed academy car driven by Pete and Dave. When SA dynoed their car it made 263whp 203 torque; 2 tenth of a sec against those kind of numbers is unbelievable. SA Scion Racing also has good suspension setup, good after market exhaust and good aerodynamic add-ons. Although Dave and Pete are not world class drivers but they in my humble opinion good drivers, would no just be ahead by 2 tenth of a sec against an NA frs. Again, are you kidding me?

If you are that good of a driver you shouldn't be driving against non-pro drivers. You should be driving with F1 drivers instead.

But I bet instead you guys did something else with the "stock" NA engine. I bet you modified the engine with Bigger valves, port and polished heads, higher compression pistons, lighter forged rods, lighter crank pulley and flywheels. Also race gas within 1500 km between race tracks.

If everything I say is not true then I apologized in advance. I am just very skeptical that a NA "stock" FA motor will only be 2 tenth of a sec behind a FI non-modified FA20 engine with 263whp / 203 torque. No matter how good of a driver you are, it is just unbelievable for a "stock" NA FA20 equipped frs/brz/gt86 will be just 2 tenth of a second behind another frs that is FI with 263 whp/203 torque.

Day 1 - Mosport

We did well despite the Mosport power track not really suited to our car. Got a 1:41 lap, some issues including catching others on my hot laps prevented us from doing better.

We got 3rd in Autox, so we ended up 3rd overall.


Day 2 - Calabogie

Time Attack was on the East track, we rocked out a very fast 1:20.8 to secure 4th.

In autoslalom, we came out with our first win thanks to Kenny (Umb FRS) over the CanJam WRX and the Scion Racing Speed Academy in 3rd.


Day 3 - Calabogie

Time Attack today was on the full course, we figured we would end up around 5th or 6th due to the faster cars and the track layout with more straightaways.

I ran a great lap and got a 2:26.7 on my first session. Scion Racing had a 2:26.5 and was narrowly ahead of us in 2nd with us in 3rd.

Second session I had to step it up despite the track getting slower. Squeezed out a 2:26.2 to grab second and it stuck for the day.

Final was WRX first, Team Slickauto.ca second (us), Camaro SS third and Scion Racing 4th.

Autox was a tight battle with CanJam WRX beating us out for first, but we secured 2nd with a Miata in 3rd.

For the day we got 2nd in both events and still 3rd overall so far but even closer to Scion Racing in 2nd place.
