Dry June
Jun 4th, 2014 at 9:16am
 
No Mission racing in June and the season is alreay short.

There are lots of other tracks holding events in June, but I was thinking of the SCCA Triple Rose Cup Race at PIR (13th-15th) and/or the SCCA Double Regional at Thunderhill the next w/e (21st-22nd).

Are there others planning to go to either of these?

There will be at least a couple of familiar Spec Miatas at PR too.

There are several you tube postings on the gt-racecar.com website, under the GTLite section, from the recent SCCA Major's race there. Good, recent footage of the track. And unforunately, also the qualifying 'incident'. Several local GT guys were there, the track shows off quite well. Look it up for a reference to current conditions.

I was watching Jim's unfortunate incident and noticed all that nice new pavement from turn 8 onwards. That must be such a vast improvement to race on.

How's the car Jim?

The new pavement in Turn 8 and onto front straight is very grippy but there is just a little bump at the transition back to the old pavement on the front straight. Just keep it floored !

PR is such a fun track! The new pavement seems to have helped the Vees go almost 2 seconds faster..

I love T2 Cheesy Have fun down there folks, 14 Fords should make for an awesome race!
