Big congratulations!

Mostly copy and paste from FB

Well this weekend ended up differently than what I expected.

To sum up the weekend, the car just worked. Never touched a shock adjustment, and just focused on the nut behind the wheel. I was happy to get off to an early start leading STX Saturday AM, but loved further securing the position Sunday AM. I'd hate to sit on Saturday AM runs whether I was leading or not.

As for the Super Challenge, I really don't know what to say. First round I punted 2 cones on the left side, but luckily advanced due to a RL. Giles (My friend) came up to me immediately after that run and said: "Stick with it Kyle, it might be your lucky weekend" Never knew that could hold so true. Broke out a couple times on the right side by a few tenths, and always seemed to find time when being down a considerable amount.

Happy to go up against Laughlin in the finals. Nothing like having 1&2 filled with Ohioans, and BMW pricks. Funny thing is that I almost ran out of fuel because I didn't know I'd actually advance that far, whoops.

Love to be leading the way in STX with a car no one has dared to build. At least this time people aren't dismissing the wins off course design....yet

Fastest runs from class competition.

Awesome. Congrats!

Are you still on an open diff?

YarkoDrives · 06-02-2015, 01:07 AM

here's my fastest run from Rocky Montain Solo Series this past weekend.
135i F-Street on Direzzas

Alignment is wonky, the back is about right, but the front was toe in and too slow for my inputs. I failed to look ahead around the sweeper for the finish on every run.took 4th in class of 8, 1.5sec behind first

I'm getting an alignment before the Tour.

Congrats! I wasn't following this thread, but saw your win on the SCCA front page. So cool to see a 128i winning races.

Way to score one for the home team

Kgolf31 · 06-07-2015, 07:49 PM

Thanks all, it was a pretty cool experience.

Video from this weekend. I was top PAX in my heat.

3rd in PAX overall. 0.030 out of 2nd spot

The Wind Breezes · 06-07-2015, 08:14 PM

Those lateral numbers are sick.

The RE-71Rs are something. When you can sustain 1.2Gs in a sweeper from street tires, it tells you something

I also peaked at 1.42 Gs

Ginger_Extract · 06-14-2015, 09:32 PM

Changed classes for today's event to the "run what you brung" class, locally called "California Street Tire," and placed 2nd. Today was a power course, which allowed me to be competitive with the usual suspects.
I like this venue much more than our region's other venue, less gritty, easier to drive power cars on.

Still looks like you have some bad push, even in the slalom.

Is that asphalt?

It's a 1-Series, apparently understeer is impossible to eliminate...for reasons...? I even watered the front tires down and everything.

Yes it is, we run the ProSolo here.
