Anybody here do SCCA solo racing?

[WMCC Doug]

when i ran autocross with brian a few weeks ago I was actually quite fearful of my driveline holding up due to constant wheelhop. I need to get a torque arm and get that under control!

Hmmm ..... I've had none of that, either on my IROC-Z or my 2002 ???????

That sounds like something I would do. Are those turbo caravans quick at all?

Theirs is sorta - it's totally modified.

well, the fact that I was making my runs in first gear probably wasnt helping. 2nd was too tall to deliver the necessary power, so i went with the "overkill" option. But my power level is beyond what I should be delivering through a stock torque arm.

It was actually the West Michigan Sports Car Council, F-stock champion, but thanks for bringing it up, Ray. (The West Michigan Sports Car Council included the Camaro Club (WMCC), the Furrin Group, The Grand Valley Corvette Council, the West Michigan Region - Porsche Club of America, the Corvair Club and the West Michigan Region of the SCCA)



Thanks, Ben. Solo II/Autocross racing is definately a blast. Way more fun than drag racing (IMHO) and much easier on your car than drag racing. Banging, slamming and sliding your car around is the slow way, smooth is fast in Solo II. It's hard on tires, and somewhat on brakes, but pretty easy on rest of the mechanical stuff.

I am glad to hear that Doug. That sounds like a good fit for me for sure. I plan on using my bird for these type of events because I have enough invested that I do not want to hurt the car that much. I bought the '86 TA for drag race duty, I don't have much invested monetarily or sentimentally in that car so if something did go wrong I would not have all my eggs in one basket.

I can't wait to have my car back together again and for next spring to roll around. Spring training here I come!
