It was a great time.
Almost everyone ran good. (I DIDN'T).
Here is my views for the weekend.
On Saturday where was everyone, come on people in order to continue to have events we need racers! 17 cars is a ---- Joke. The SCCS will be working very hard to attract new members and get them up to pace. The course saturday was not very usual for Sioux Falls. It had its good parts and bad like most courses. Sunday we had a little better showing ~30 cars is respectable but we would like to see 50+. The course was a little more open but surprisingly not any faster? I didn't guess that when designing it and walking it. It was a solid 2nd gear course in my little ride, not sure of others. The courses were different. Some of the transitions were a little difficult, especially for novice drivers (or people that have there head up there a$$ ME).
I would have like to have gotten some good pictures but I had to go get another tire. I corded one of the old hoosiers. So my last three runs I was running Hoosier GAC, 2 R3S04's, and a new PIMP R6. So I had 1 sticky tire keeping my in line. I broke again not down and out but something is wrong in my clutch/tranny. When it was hot after the races on Sunday it seemed like it wouldn't fully disengage the clutch. But when I unloaded it last night it seemed fine?? any suggestions?
I am starting to figure out the car though. Maybe not for the better but I am figuring it out. In wide sweepers the car could desimate all but in tighter radius corners it bucks and bounces, I believe the steering geometry is set for larger diameter corners (Road Courses). I am not sure if this is caused from my Polk tubular control arms or maybe even stock design. I am going to look into it more over then next few weeks. Does anyone have the suspension modeled in a CAD software? Or is there a link to specific suspension measurements anywhere? I did search and results were iffy. I did see that I could possibly replace the front hub with one off of a FWD, and that my help. I really need to models this so I can fully understand the problem. I also have serious turbo lag, which wouldn't be a problem on a road course but it kind of sucks in an AutoX.
So here I stand with a difficult desision. I can tell the car will be extremely fast on a road course, not so much on the AutoX. I am not sure if I want to leave it, back it off a little bit and make it more of an AutoX car or research the hell out of it and find the "perfect" medium. I am thinking finding that perfect medium, between shocks springs swaybars steering... And build a Bullit Proof Drivetrain.
