I won G class and Hanchey won Z class in the Alpha car (with tire pressures "not even in the right ballpark", ack!)
Thanks to Hanchey for getting the car more sorted for my final runs. Also, big thanks to Paul for coming out to help with both cars - tire pressures, cooling tires, taking pictures, and helping with the many passengers we took on our ample runs that day. Great turnout and weather was perfect. Course was an insanely tight rendition of the West Course from the 2007 Solo Nationals. The final 2 U-turns were made into pivot cones.
Amy won F class by a good margin, yet still found time to put on a show at the finish (power slides!).
At next Sunday's SCCA TMS event I will try to run the pressures Teucci found to work best (a lot lower than what we've been using) and see if we can get the low speed push under control. Car was a blast and the massive braking and acceleration potential are the only thing that saved FTD for us.
