Default Buccaneer Region SCCA State Championships

This was a really fun event at Gainesville Raceway and I'm glad I made the drive from Lutz. The day started in the upper 30's and ended in the low 80's. The course layout was tons of fun and I could have driven it over and over and found more ways to attack it.

My excuse this week is that my runs were in the cold morning, and the fastest runs came afternoon. I really need to evaluate my car setup if I'm going to get competitive. I kind of want to go to a street tire class, but my lower final drive keeps dragging me into higher classes.

Here are the results.

Here is my video. I left some a trip around the paddock in there so those who haven't been there can see it.

Congrats to all the locals who won today!

It was a great time! Only the PAX numbers loaded up so far on the site. The course was a blast. Here's one of my in car runs. YouTube - Solo State Championships 11-15-10.wmv I know, still a lotta hand work to do...


We have some outside video's of some other cars running too. I'll try to get them up today. Watching that orange Lotus fly around the course was pretty amazing.

PS Craig, I found some mystery money taped to our fuel can! Much appreciated!

Scott

Blame the equipment for your failures, not your successes.

You have much to learn, grasshopper.
