6 rounds, $800
It was a long 2 days of racing at Sonoma Raceway for our 4th Summit ET race. With weekend temperatures into the 90's the '84 was running from 10.30's in the morning up to 10.50's in the afternoon with the heat and a brisk headwind. Sunday, I went out in the second round. Today (Monday), I went 6 rounds to win the Pro field of 50 racers. I was on the tree for most of the day; the first 3 runs I had reaction times of .006, .001, .009. Not bad for footbraking. For the most part, the car was on it's number. The density altitude on both days first rose, then fell late in the afternoon. The wind started as a tailwind in the mornings and then turned around to 18 mph headwinds in the afternoon. This made for difficult dial-ins. Mondays race started at 8:00am and I finished at 6:00pm. It was a long day, but worth it! Here's a picture.
