well what a weekend that was. I have to say that I was not expecting to be on the pace so quickly after a 14 month layoff and a rebuilt, untried and untested car, but I was straight back into the 35 second runs. Got 2nd place on both days and was only beaten by a lotus elise that had to produce his personal best on both days to beat me. The porsche 911rs I have the measure of and with further testing and suspension set up over the winter I think that now the elise is well within target. Final run of the day ended in a spin on the entry to karousel as I was trying to leave braking later and believe that I have now found the late braking point. It is about 1 second before the point I broke at on that run. The car is soooooooooooo drivable on this injection setup. Dee (to my knowledge the only women in the Z club driving a Z in competition ) had a frustrating end to a good solid weekends racing, building confidence in herself and the car again, but came away very pleased and looking forward to next season. Ken Dollen had some irritating missfire problems that plaqued him over the weekend but still produced some rapid and solid 36 second climbs to fend of the TVR Griffith and the awesomely quick E type jag. A promising end to the season at gurston.
