Well guys, I am sorry but we didn't do so well at SSCC.
They do the standing mile in Ely, NV, which is at 6500' elevation and the air was terrible. My car wasn't happy and didn't run real strong. Max boost was only 11-12 psi. Cars that we beat in Mojave, beat us in Ely.
The car ran great for the 90 mile open road race. The start of the race is at about 5,500 and the finish line is at 3,800. The car ran strong and we took the narrows at about 115MPH at entrance and were rolling out of the corners at 140 MPH. However our timing was off. Our target was to average 145 MPH and we ended up averaging 145.242 which was good enough for last place for our class.
I am super happy with our run in Mojave, but not so happy with SSCC.
Next race is at Miller in Salt Lake and then Sun Valley Road Rally against the Bugattis. I am concerned about Sun Valley as it too is at over 6,000 ft elevation.
Wish you all success this racing season.
