Default 2010 Solo 1 Champion

Unbelievable but true. One of your own is the defending champion for the 2011 season. I'm beginning to learn how to get the most out of my car. For next season I'll be competing in 3 different series. I hope to continue improving and learning what our beloved SRT-6's respond to on the track. I still haven't come close to realizing this cars potential which says a lot about just how good of a job the engineers did to start with. Now if I can only get my Go-Pro to work all the time and not only when it feels like it. You should be able figure out which one is the gringo of the group. (me)

Thanks guys! The next project is the Wavetrak and doing something about excess body roll. Mr. photoman suggested spring rubbers which I may try soon.

I still have a slight language barrier and I wasn't aware how the points system worked for the series. At the last event the guy in second introduced himself and told me the winner between the two of us would be the champion. I was pissed because I had run all year on Michelin Pilot Sport Cups and had just mounted Yokohama Advan AD08's and didn't have a clue about them. I guess they did the job!

Next year will be much tougher. The points system is being revamped which is one reason I switched to Advan's. Between the 3 series I'll have 20 to 25 races.

I've seen more cheerful faces in a police lineup. You all look like you're the losers.

Congrats Les, and yep.... you stand out like a pumpkin in a petunia patch. LOL Reminds me of when I travel to the Philippines to visit the wife's family.

Congrats Les!
I ran the AD08's all year, and was very happy with them. I would be interested in following what you do in the off season to make changes to your car.
