Well, finally stretched my legs on a rare weekend off and went to an SCCA event! This was the Champ Tour at Mineral Wells. Quite the smattering of national champs attending and a very fast course. I'm needing more seat time and I wanted to experience a "big" event. Seems all the CAM guys were in STP or at Optima in NOLA getting rained out.

The car is a whole lot faster than the driver, something I'm working on improving! I'm working to get better at looking further down the track. Had a few DNF's and coned this run, but it's all in the learning process.

The drive down there from Lubbock was quite sketchy. A fully loaded car (wheels, jack, tools, etc. etc.) and I made the foolish mistake of taking I20 as I haven't made that drive in a long time and it seemed fine last time. I can't tell you how many times I scraped the roadway because of how rutted the asphalt was. I picked up a trailer at the event that I'd arranged to buy off a member there, loaded my stuff on the car and drove back after everything was done. Went a different route and it was so nice and the car just felt better without all the crap piled up in it (and I felt a little safer with less stuff to potentially fly around).

Nice! Todd and Jeff’s 2nd Gen Camaro. That thing is a beast!! You’re in good company. Turbo is a member here.

It was my understanding that it was stupid-cold there that weekend.
