Wow, what a weekend.

I was having major issues with my brakes all weekend, but I managed to adjust to the poor performance I was getting from them and succeeded in winning the Pagoda Hill Climb.

The previous hill record for the SM2 (street modified 2-seaters) was 60.9 seconds. I had gone 61.7 last year.

This year I spanked out a 59.8! ... it is extremely rare for a street legal car to go under a minute on this hill so I was shocked. I did manage 4 other runs at 60.**, two of those were 60.0Xs.

So I won the SM2 class and set the hill record for the class.
This season I have 3 wins, a third and an 8th.

The awesome part is I am really not happy with the cars performance.
There is a lot of tweaking that needs to be done.

Cool. What are the plans for Hyde? What tweaking are you trying to do?

Congrats man! That's awesome. I wished I could say I had a 4-peat but we didn't race anywhere this weekend.


Anyways, congrats again! Keep it up!

The Yellow Audi was the only door car faster than me, but that is a full blown race car ~ not street legal. That Audi was insane, twin-turbo 2.6 liter 6 cylinder and AWD ... and serious brakes. I am on my stock brakes that were performing really poorly. He was on slicks and I was on sticky-Kumhos. He ran a best of 58 and I went 59 so I am not complaining. :D
