Great cars folks, what a pleasure. I’ve been hosting and participating in proxies since ‘08 and I have the say this is THE best field top to bottom! All great! I especially enjoyed the McKee, Ti22, 2J and the 612p...all great CanAm cars. That 2J was one of my top 3 to drive today.
Pretty clean day for all the drivers, I tried to wring as much as they cars would allow in the Blue lane. I have to say my favorite was the #21 blue Lola. It was an out of body experience as she just stuck and went and went and went. Tony’s silver car definitely had the beans and then some. DRW’s was mighty as well. The #99 and #1 Lolas were some of my other favs.
Someone asked about Smokieo’s car? While it was smooth and had nice roll out, it impacted how aggressive you could dive into a corner. Just an example, I also to breathe the throttle through the sweeper to keep the back end in check vs the top cars wreufkat out.That’s where the top 3 were flat out.
The #5 Mclaren was REALLY enjoyable to drive. I was surprised to see her so far back, but this IS a tough competitive field...so much parity.
The #7 from F1Fan was awesome in the corners with great grip (I’ve come to expect this of Chris’s cars), just not enough motor and acceleration to compensate for its weight.
And a special shout out to Zach for his McLaren ...wow, for a newbie, unbelievable!
Speaking of shout outs...to Alan for hosting and providing eats, David for keeping things organized and posted her. As well to Kevin, Thomas for helping out on qually and marshaling today along with Aa-Ron. And to No Hands (green lane), The Badger (red lane) along with the Shadow (yellow lane) for providing some entertaining heats as we were often 3 and 4 wide with some fantastic side by side racing lap after lap.
We race again in 2 weeks time on the same track with our Thunderslot-Slot.it-NSR-Policar Classics class...I doubt we will be anywhere near this fast!
Cheers, eh!
Tom
