Updates to the car for this weekend:
We reduced rear tire size from last weekend: we were 30lbs underweight for the second race, and to be sure that never happens again moving forward, going down 20mm width in tire size puts us in a lower weight bracket. So instead of being 30lbs underweight, we will be 70 lbs over the minimum. We also mounted the GoPro in a better location over my right shoulder instead of on the windshield. We screwed up the camera settings for the first race, but fixed it for the last two. I hope you like it! We do – you can see where I’m looking, what throttle or brake inputs im doing, and you can see the cars behind me partially in the rear view mirror.
Qualifying:
Unfortunately after the full week before saying it would rain the whole day, qualifying was completely dry. I did what felt like an OK lap, but ended up being 12th.
Race 1:
The rain on Saturday came at a perfect time! I went from 12th to 2nd in a lap and a half as the quattro gave me a massive advantage. the first 4 minutes of this video are great, the rest is just me holding second place. The guy that won was in a FWD mini and started 2nd. He was long gone by the time I got to second and his FWD gave him enough of a boost in the rain where I couldnt catch him.
Race 2:
Started 2nd, finished 4th! In the dry. Nothing too crazy happened.
Race 3:
Started 3rd after the top 6 were reversed, finished 8th. I had a tough time with the tires in the dry and could not keep up with those ahead. By the end I was kinda no where. No one around me.
Next Race Weekend: June 5 and 6!
