Beat a fully prepared smf supercharged Honda Civic

Best outcome yet. 1st in class 2nd fastest and 4th in pax out of 81.

The supercharged Honda Civic had 3 drivers in it that are no joke.

Thanks. Mph is a little off probably only 59. The Hoosiers are a little shorter.

Awesome! Yeah, those guys are serious, so great win.

Our season opener today got cancelled due to ice. I guess we'll just have next Sunday to shake the rust off before Pittrace.

2nd 3rd and 4th in SMF do and they take that car to Nebraska. I’ve only raced that region once before.

See how you like the environment of the Match Tour. The competitive bug might bite you.

Match Tours are pretty laid back, but it's still going to be different than a local since contingency is on the line.

Oh, I have MiniUSA magnets if you want, I can bring them. They're in comic sans though, never have done well enough to test if they work...

Our first event yesterday got cancelled due to an ice storm. We have an event this weekend so hoping that doesn't get cancelled, don't want to go in with zero seat time.

I think I'll head out in time to take a few T&T runs in my car to shake some rust off, even though I'm not competing with it.

Hey I’ll take you up on that offer of the miniusa decals. I don’t know if I’ll have any made up in time. But I’ll let you know if I do thanks. And if you wanna ride in my mini that’s cool too. Honestly I just drive and don’t really make any changes to the car because I really don’t know if it worked or not other than when I made the rear sway bar stiffer I could tell the backend would slide more. I really need a co-driver to set the car up LOL And I guess I need some really good shocks too. But anyway I just drive what I got.

Thank you
No. The only thing I did was get motorcycle racing license and tons of track days on two wheels back in the mid 2000’s.
I did listen to a autocross podcast and he would talk to national championship drivers and I learned a lot listening to that. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/...=1000385071593

It’s a lot easier to go fast on four wheels and cheaper than it is on two wheels.
