Default Runoffs T-1 Results 1st qualifying

greetings everyone from Topeka...

Two of the best young Corvette drivers in the Country, AJ Aquilante and John Buttermore Jr are qualified 1 and 2 at the SCCA T-1 Runoffs after the first day of qualifying....

Drying track and sloppy after morning rain and off course excursions... First laps were the fastest, once the track got messy every one slowed down...

Aj 1:41.351
JB2 1:43.031
Mike MCginley 1:43.359
Rob hines 1:43.638
Phil Croyle 1:43.993

More news to follow...

Is AJ in a Vette or Viper???

Does the new SCCA website work? I didn't get very far at all.

The Viper is history. AJ is driving a C6 Vette.

For those looking for T&S, I have found this to be reliable today livetiming

Use the drop down in the upper right to choose your class of interest. The page loads with the most current class sheet.

The C6's have a definite power advantage over the C5's and will do well, especially the one with AJ behind the wheel, the vipes should also do well. Great job by T1 new comers Eric Jones and Rob Hines in the top 10 early, McGinley and Tracy Jr are much improved over last year! Looks like Lance will have his work cut out for him again.

Looks like RAFT is well represented by Jerry Onks!

This was the first day of qualifying.. the next few days will certainly shake things up a bit.

Though, I must say, that the 1:41 of A.A. is quite impressive and may be untouchable.

I know that Dave Sanders guy also has at least another 3+ seconds in him. I like it how the sandbaggers don't show their full deck of cards on the 1st day.

Engine = stock with open exhaust (no cats) and a toon

Suspension = GM Performance T1 SCCA spec springs, shocks are open and allows even for triple adjustable coilovers (to me, "spec" racing is spec racing.. $7000 in shocks separates the men from the boys in a lot of cases)

Tires = Most T1 drivers are on Hoosier A6's (not R's)

But, are you sure about the coilovers?? Don't you mean adjustable SHOCKS?

no coilovers... Just plain old leaf springs... They work very well when installed as part of the overall T1 package...

Along with the stock clutch and driveline...
