Bench Racing ......... and I do it well !!!!

3/20/02 - See Driving school pictures

 

The race shop, one silver and one blue.

Note the "racing" transmission disassembled in front of the blue car

The silver car is getting topped off with fuel & a battery charge - just like at the track.

 

Before the enclosed 24 ft trailer, it was the open air hauler. Much cheaper.

New tire rack in the trailer - custom built by Duske Engineering. Time to re-tire ????


9/2001 Mission - one hour enduro

Group 4 race, getting ready for the hit putting me out of 1st place overall in the race.

"Sorry to park on track but I'm broken. Can I go back to the pits now? I still have another race group and an enduro to run ....and a car to fix".

Mission - start of the enduro.

 
After making speedy repairs from the earlier incident with the help of Glen, I started the enduro race .

I was getting noise from the damaged rear end & a slight oil leak as a result. My lap times were off by almost 4 seconds a lap from the normal 30 minute sprint race.

The car was filling with smoke from the grease leaking onto the exhaust. I managed a 2nd overall at the end. Thanks Glen for the help!


If your car breaks, borrow one (or two)

Rick's RX7 #52- I'll drive anything for points ......

Thanks Rick!

 

 

Also had to borrow Glen's Z in Portland.

Finished 3rd in class, not bad for starting last.

again....... thanks Glen!


The Good Old White car

I sold my old "White" car, it's now being run by Glen Peterson as #109 - Peterson Racing. Glen continued it's winning ways by capturing the 2000 SPO championship and 4th & 3rd in GT2 for 2001 & 2002.

Just passed Glen going into turn 1 at Mission

Glen leads this pack, I didn't make pre-grid on time and had to go out last. That's #52 at the end ....

It was actually kinda fun. I held back just before the start, got a good roll at the green flag, and passed about 10 cars by turn 1, and 3 more by turn 2. Went from 32nd on the grid to finish in 5th place.
