The Western Ohio Region of the SCCA had the 2010 Awards Ceremony on Saturday, and I finished first in SOLO II D Stock. Didn't do anything to the motor or suspension, and used the Yokohama Advan AD08 tires. As posted by others, the car understeers slightly, so you have to watch that, but compared to other cars in the class, it brakes well and seems to have good power.
To get competitive, I went to the Evolution driving school, and that was a big help. I also ran with both an in-car video and a G-Tech Road Racer computer. I was set up to view the videos after every run which also helped because things happen pretty fast during the run to remember everything. It was also very helpful to upload both the video and data at the end of the day to a laptop and view them at the same time to evaluate each run.
I'm planning on doing some upgrades in the off season, and may move up to DSP next season. I also finished first in the Miami Valley NASA club which had more competition in the Crossfire's class. The award ceremony for that club is at the end of the month, so I will post the results later.
THE CROSSFIRE PERFORMS OUTSTANDING AND GETS THE MOST ATTENTION!
