Chuck's Ramblings about the Oscoda Michigan Divisionals

Oscoda Michigan Divisional...
http://www.soloseries.org/2008/08DET_fin.htm

(Note; dual course. morning/afternoon.)

In the afternoon.. I made 1 run in my car.. traded Azmath cars for the second run (he drove the STfU STi and I drove his Mazda 3) then 3rd run I traded John.. (I hate Neons now more than ever!!!!!)

They LOVED the STi!!!!

The courses were HEAVILY FAST-R-comp-car biased.. ESP, SS, BM, CM
PAX results reflects that.

The top 20 on pax was almost reciprocated at the OVR Divisional.. with the same people.. due to asphalt vs concrete.. and a less biased course layout.

(note: I was the only one in the top 5 (maybe more) that had NOT driven this course (they set up the same course.. twice a year.. and let people try to set the class record...)

I was in first heat.. Greg was 3rd heat.. and has driven this course... twice a year since OCT 2004.

ALSO..

I broke the old STU record by nearly a second... which stood for 4 years.

This was using an economy tune.. all weekend.. driving..to / from events... and at the event.... the tune is good for 27.15 MPG... I'm sure i could have picked up an easy 1/2 second with more power.

The car is great... too much rear camber though...(-1.9) adding camber bolts this week (while the wheels are off to change brake lines) and re-aligning to -1.2 ish...

Thanks for your help!!!
