Just got home. Great event. Rodney showed that he has been working hard on all three classes since the last cup race.
I would like to thank everyone that contributed into making this a great race series. I had a great time at every race. And every race had a different feeling, especially as I got to know more people and their driving/setup styles.
Missing practice Friday night showed early, and I feel that I did well considering the early setbacks. I had good setups, but could have dialed the car in a little better with some more track time. F1 I got a dud motor, swapped it out for a better one, but I still lacked a lot of low end power in every gear ratio that I tried. I ended up trying to push the car too hard to keep my speed up and not get into the lower revs where the motor had no power. Ideally I needed to try a gear ratio that was inbetween the two that I tried. 9/46 48p, and 52/11 64p.
My LM car was not driven since the last Cup race, although I had taken the wheels/tires off and used them on a different car. The car came back to form pretty quickly, so it was pretty easy for me just to fine tune it with tires.
My stock GT car is still a work in progress. It is my first dedicated 70t GT car (that is not a narrow car). The F40 body worked well, and has similar handling characteristics to I am used to for 70t with the f355 body. I could have definitely used some new rear tires going into the mains. I added some vinyl over the rear window to cover the slits. I was trying to get a little more rear grip, and am not sure if it hurt instead of helping. I learned a good deal in developing the F40 body, and plan to use that for future projects.
Congrats to Rodney and MBMZR for the season wins.
I am going to try to pull and get a team together for the first race of next season. Possibly the first race of the season could be the best opportunity to add another team to the cup. Where is the first race going to be? It will be a difficult task... but I will not stop my efforts.
