SCCA is coming to my area!
On board the local Marine base the "Single Marine Program" has made arrangements to bring professional driving instructors here for some novice type training. The training takes place on Saturday afternoon and the runway (one of the largest runways on the East coast.... an actual alternate landing site for the space shuttle) will be closed off and coned starting at 8AM on Sunday. Again in July and September!
I am 110% stoked about this.
It saves me SO MUCH time and money. Granted the runway is "flat", but it should be very interesting! $35 as an entrance fee covers everything.... including a helmet.
I'm REAL curious about how my 4link rear suspension will perform in the corners. I'm thinking that the rear suspension is WAY TOO stiff. I could give a rat's arse about the current street tires. If they're shredded, so be it.
I took a look at the on-line registration page and it appears that cars are coming from everywhere.... well, except for East = Ocean.... within a 200 mile radius. Looks like a lot of serious cars. I had no idea what class to register in so I registered in the "street modified" class. Over 100 cars and I'm the only vintage guy.
I'll post updates here as anything happens.... like my car blowing up.
