I finally took the car to the track.... for an SCCA event!!! Some may remember that I took my wife's Toyota Mr2 Spyder last year and had a blast with it at an SCCA soloII event. I've been wanting to try it with my car ever since. Well, today was the day. I went up with Troy (yeahloh95), he took his SVO. I didn't want to cut up my nitto tires, so I mounted up the old tri-bars with some beat old tires I had lying around. To sum up the day I had way too little tire, way too much torque, and very little restraint with the throttle. As soon as I'd touch the gas my SCCA event quickly turned to a drifting competition! LOL! I had one hell of a good time and I managed to get quicker and quicker as the day went on. I was always one second behind Troy though. He would run a 74, and I'd run a 75... the next run I'd run a 74, and he'd run a 73. That was the progression of the day. In the end, my best lap time was a 72.XX. With my engine and suspension mods I had to run CP. My drag oriented suspension did better than I had expected, but the tires were my definite downfall. I was a good 10 seconds off the other guys in my class.
My dad and I fab'd up an in car camera mount so I have all but my first run on video. When I get a chance to upload it I'll post it up if you guys want to check it out. My wife came and was able to snap a few pics. The next time I go I plan to run with my nitto's on to help with the traction issues. Well, here are some pics: (man are tri-bars UGLY on my car).
