2013 SCCA Runoffs
Just getting ready to start the 2000+ mile trip to Road America for the 50th running of the SCCA National Championship - the winner takes all championship event has more than 700 racers entered in 28 classes. We are putting the Tundra to the test, towing out H Prod Yaris and E Prod RX-7 on the big trailer.
Practice on 9-16, followed by three days of qual. The H Prod race looks to be about 31 cars strong, and takes place at 4:00pm (Wisconsin time) on Friday the 20th. Our E Prod car races on Sunday the 22nd at 1:00pm. If you are in the area make sure to drop by. The Yaris will be in the Toyota tent up in the west paddock all weekend. Event info can be found here: http://www.scca.com/events/index.cfm?eid=5680 The races will once again be streamed live: http://speedcasttv.com/scca/

Good Luck Jason, like I said earlier go by and see Anna Neave at T&S, and look for her Dad Sam, he'll be with both the John Morton Datsun 240Z and the Rev Tech 240Z team. The John Morton car is a complete recreation of the BRE C-Prod Run-Offs winning car!!

Made it to the track and got all set up. The Tundra and trailer worker perfect. The Yaris is tucked away in the Toyota tent, and we are all set up in our trailers for the week.

qual went pretty well, with f and H Prod sharing a qual session it was very busy, something like 66 cars. I never really got a clean lap, as I am sure is the case with a lot of people, but ended up 5th which is my best qual effort here to date. Now we will just have to see if the rain stays away and if we get another shot at it.

Its kind of wet here today. Think I will stay in the trailer unless it clears up - not much point since I wont go faster in the wet, and neither should anyone else.
This event has already seen what must be a record number of cars crashed in the last two days, we don't need to up that number today.

The rain let up around lunch, so I went out just to scrub in some new tires and make sure my data system was working. My lap timer has not been working since I installed my oil temp/psi setup, turned out I had one line of data wrong on my laptop and it was turning off my GPS timer. Nice thing about the Runoffs is all the manufacturers have reps on hand, the guys from AiM found my error and got me working again.
With the track still damp everyone went about 2sec slower, so the order did not change at the top. One more day of qual, then the race on Friday. Busy night tonight, have to hit the Toyota dinner, BFGoodrich Worker of the Year awards, and the Mazda Motorsports dinner.
