Portland ORPCA event on 5/10/2009

P71 · 05-11-2009, 03:15 PM

The field was stacked with much faster drivers and cars then last month. I went from a top-half of the field finish to nearly the bottom. I'm not very happy with my driving as I hit my best time on the 3rd run and then couldn't improve at all. I had a 45.343 followed by a 45.344. It was like bracket racing but at an autocross!

On another note, I think the time has come to seriously pursue a suspension for my car. I'm 90% sure the right rear shock is dead and the slop in the Watt's link was causing some *VIOLENT* snap-oversteer.

Pic of shame:

And Jared:
