SCCA time trial at CMP

anyone else going to the SCCA time trial? They made a lot of changes to the program, gone are the days of requiring a full race car with roll & fire protection

I'm taking my r53, scca hates na/supercharged cars with engine mods, it stuck me in max 3

I saw 3 mini's participating, a justacooper r50 in advanced with me, and a r53 in intermediate. The other r53 had a belt failure, I hooked him up with one of my spares but it would not make boost, probably a crank pulley failure.

I had a great time, they did 3 20min sessions each day, after the track sessions we did a timed session with autocross timing gates on half the track, saturday the west half, sunday the east half.

I did pretty good, 2nd place in class and 23st fastest on track out of 120 cars. I'm consistently running 1:53's now, my time on rs4 and re71r is basically the same.

This was my best lap saturday am, was in the first session

You said that you ran a r50, what was your setup on it? I have an `06 I wouldn't mind running if possible, just not sure what I need, just joined SCCA this year.

I run an r53 but the setup is the same, all you need to start is track brake pads

I would add camber and stiffer rear from sway or spring for tire wear prevention after that. The r50 had those changes and a header
