Results From My 1st Scca Dbl Regional T1 Race
WOW! What fun it was. Now if I can only find that money tree in my yard so I can do some more. lol It was a very nice weekend for racing with 70 degrees and sunshine both days.
Saturday
Unfortunatley, I was the only T1 Corvette car there with one SP Porsche,one GT1 Car,one ITE Corvette and some ITS guys too. I thought since I had no competition, I would see if I could even get close to the T1 record to judge myself. The record was held by Freddy Baker from 2001 with a 1:43.642. I would have been happy getting with in 2 seconds of the record, but the awesome PHOENIX car that Joe and the guys build rocked out a 1:42.456 on Saturday to break a 6 year old T1 record. Porsche broke on the 2nd lap and I got by the GT1 car and gained a 1/4 mile gap. Then poor old David Hitchcock from Detroit region got into the tire wall pretty hard in turn 2 with his AS Camaro.That brought out the full coarse yellow with 2 to go and we finished under that. Sorry about the car David, Glad you were ok though!
Sunday
Qualified 1st overall with a 1:41.753. Had the GT1 next to me ready to pounce and he did when the green flew. I need some of that good HP he had. lol Completed that 15 lapper with no issues except for just missing the 2 ITS cars that were dooking it out in front of me and the one spun, hit the tire wall and came back on track with me about SHI**ING myself. Steered hard left and just missed him.
I was also able to lower my record from Saturday another 2 tenths to a 1:42.267.
The KUMHO V710's were great as well & very consistant for the 15 lap race. The track is very rough in some spots but was still a blast to run. The Hawk pads worked very well to and gave me no problems.
Thank you to DANNY POPP (RAFT) for helping me out over the phone with a few minor repair tips I had to do. I hope to get 2 more regionals in so I can do some Nationals this year and meet some more great people.
Here are a few pictures from this past weekend.

Thanks! The only thing I own is the car. I have a very good boss that lets me take the big rig when not in use. It just so happens to match my car pretty well huh!

Congratulations on a job well done, Aaron! 
Car looks great!
BTW, the money tree isn't in my backyard either!

I was out there on Saturday visiting with a few friends running a Formula Ford car. I saw your car out there at the back of the lot, wish I would have stopped by. Next time I'll know. 
Congrats, sounds like a great weekend for you!

Nicely done fellow Kumho brother....
Now, just keep your nose clean for a few more races and get to the Nationals, where you'll have somebody to run against! Looking forward to it!!
