Car preparation for this event was limited to removing the trailer hitch and cutting the muffler off the car. The latter caused the engine to run quite poorly under 2,000 rpm--a situation that has yet to be corrected. This combined with an obviously failing clutch gave me some apprehension before the event.
The apprehension was mostly for naught as I managed to finish with the top PAX index time of the day.
On course I was wondering if something had broken in the transmission, the car seemed to pulling by only one wheel through the later part of the course. Maybe it was well that the clutch was slipping as it kept the revs high.
I am signed up for the Great Lakes Region SCCA Solo Championship down in Peru this weekend. I am glad to see that Stephen Dormann is also signed up in his 1999 Sentra. The other two people signed up for H Stock are in "the" cars and have R compounds. I have a feeling Grissom's concrete may hasten the end of my Azenis RT-615s this weekend.
