SCCA Double Points Regional 10/3/04

My first race in the "new" car, lovingly dubbed "Kevin's Sweet Ride II." It didn't have the old car's limited slip differential in it yet, so putting down the power through T2 and out of T5, 11, and 14 was particularly difficult. Despite that, I qualified a respectable 11th place, passed two spots on the start (which I accidentally jumped by a little), and then threw it all away with a driver-error induced spin in T9. That spin jacked my front alignment up and cracked a wheel, so the car was never 100% thereafter, but passing back through the pack was sure fun!

The entire race, from start to end. Note the spin at the start, putting me back to 35th. Fought my way back up to 19th, spinning twice more along the way. Fun stuff ;) - WMV (160MB) -

NASA 7/17-18/04

I won a race! Woohoo! The Saturday race went well, hanging with Elvis and Barry for a good part of the start of the race. I suffered a 4 wheels off excursion while trying to get around lapped traffic and had to resign to 3rd, my first podium. Sunday, I qualified on pole and had the confidence to lead from the green to the checkered, mistake free! Gotta love that.

SCCA Double Regional 7/10-11/04

My first SCCA race ever! It was a total blast and, while the first day wasn't so successful due to a severe off in T10 on the last lap that destroyed a tire, the second day went very well, with an 11th place finish to show for it!

The entire race, from start to end. Coming soon - BIG -
