Where'd you race today?
(2) of the local RS owners decided to go autocrossing at Burton Coliseum in Lake Charles, LA today.
I trailered my RS again to this event. This keeps the miles off the RS and eliminates the need to swap from street wheels/tires to my autox setup. I arrived at Burton Coliseum around 7:30am. I then registered and passed tech. Sowela SCCA split up the runs into (2) heats. I worked as Deputy Site Safety Steward (SSS) and then I ran my first (3) runs. No lunch break. Worked again, then I ran my final (2) runs to complete the day. I ran in the Street Mod (SM) class, but was later bumped to SSM.
Weather was a nice 72F sunny morning, and opened up to a 91F sunny afternoon. Windy off and on.
Click on the pictures below to see the course map, raw results, and run results. I was all by myself in SM, so I got bumped to SSM and took 1st place by 7.011 seconds. Out of 69 drivers I came out with 3rd place in raw times 1.922 seconds behind FTD (a Piper FF open wheel racer) and a Kart. Some drivers said I could still claim FTD, Fastest Time of a Doorslammer. :)
