2nd place at SCCA Pro Solo Finished second in ESP out of 12 at this weekend's SCCA Pro Solo at FedEx Field in Maryland. Lost by a whopping 27 thousandths of a second to my buddy Adam in "his" 4.6L Mustang. But beat my girlfriend in her Subaru WRX. By 11 thousandths of a second. :lol: Competition was pretty close as five of us qualified for the Super Challenge, but none of us made it past the second round. I had a Watts Link put on last month and went back to 17X11s with 315 Hoosiers for the first time since 2012. The car felt great, but it still may need a few tweaks. Anyway, for your viewing enjoyment, here's the YouTube link to my fastest runs Saturday afternoon: The first run from the right course was just 25 thousandths slower than what I ran on Sunday. The next run on the left course stood as my fastest run on that side for the weekend. Hopefully I can make it to the Pro Solos in Toledo and Wilmington in June/July. Pat P.S. I can't figure out how to embed YouTube videos in posts. :( Never mind, it looks like it magically appears but doesn't look that way when trying to preview the post. |
Re: 2nd place at SCCA Pro Solo Awesome runs man! I was invited to run with the ESP guys at the El Toro Pro and had a pretty good time, although I was highly noncompetitive on street tires. Your girlfriend was driving Greg's WRX at the time; fast as hell. |
Re: 2nd place at SCCA Pro Solo A few photos from last weekend: https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5318/...6fffd210_s.jpg Just about every Camaro I've done a Pro Solo in has problems staging. For 10+ years I just dealt with it until last year exploiting the rules to put a "flapper" on the front. No more staging issues! https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7324/...bb61c5c5_s.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7455/...00231bff_s.jpg Taking off on the right-side course -- it really is uphill! Uphill, sealed asphalt, trying to cut .500 reaction times while holding the e-brake. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7439/...78866d53_s.jpg Me on the left talking with Paul Kozlak in impound on Sunday trying to convince him to chop up "the wife's car" and run ESP. The wife's car is a genuine '89 1LE that has a few F-Stock national championships. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2904/...668b47c7_s.jpg Pat |

Re: 2nd place at SCCA Pro Solo How far past the fenders do your wheels stick out, Pat? |

Not much. Maybe an inch or so? Fronts I think are pretty much even with the fenders. These are 17X11 CCWs from a fourth gen and 2" bolt-on spacers all around. Fronts also have a 1/4" spacer because the rims rub the tie rods otherwise. Pat |

The wheel upfront looks like it tucks nicely under load; does the rear ever kiss the fender lip? Pat |
