My car even passed tech! I'm at the Packwood ProSolo running CAMC and my codriver is in L1 on the CP index. It's her first national event and ProSolo and she's the first car out!

Good luck and have fun! That’s the best solo format by far.

Mid pack on day one ain’t bad for your first big event, on Falkens no less. Good job man!

Thanks! I'm cutting good lights and having fun. We're the oldest non-Miata street car out here.

BTW, after figuring out your name, I’m surprised you’re not in a CAM-T car lol

The SN95 gets boned up to CAMC despite being a fat foxbody.

Congratulations. 

Thank you! I made it home and the only tool I needed was a screwdriver to take off the front plate to put the required SCCA sticker on. I was within 6 tenths of a second to a full-prep 16 GT on the latest tires with my 170k mile hooptie on Falkens that were driven there. I cut a bunch of good lights, didn't look like a total fool, and did the best burnout. It was a fun experience. Besides, I finally got to put GRM stickers on the car and got it photographed by the SportsCar staff.

Fun fact: I almost didn't make minimum weight! CAMC is 3250 and I scaled at 3261!! surprise

Had the same thing happen when I ran my first National event this year as well. I weighed 2251 on a 2240 limit. And then blasted 96.5db on a 100db limit. Ended up 9th out of 12th in class (a 2-driver car broke, and an STS Miata that runs C/SP locally bumped to SSM for some reason) and 245th out of 254 drivers overall

The SCCA member magazine and it does, but it doesn't work. I've replaced all the sensors and it's still inop. Nobody can read the archaic 96 Ford ABS computer.
