Today we autocrossed the SVreX for the first time with the Dixie SCCA in Bainbridge, GA.
They classified us as Street Mod, primarily because of the missing interior. I wasn't too sure we could be competive. Both my son and I were first timers.
Chris took top honors in the Street Mod class. He was over second place by more than a full second.
Unfortunately, his old man wasn't anywhere near as fortunate. I guess every team needs a chauffeur!
35 cars showed up. Only 6 cars placed times faster than the SVreX, all of which were Pro and F-Mod class. No Stock vehicles came close to us! The Pro Class cars which outdid us were a BMW M3, a TR6, and an MGB, while the F-Mod cars were a TR4, a prepared Civic, and a Legends racer!
The M3 put a beating on everyone, but we were still within 6 seconds of him (he posted a 62.xxx, we posted a 68.850).
We are absolutely confident that there is still plenty of room for improvement. There is a Z06 that frequents this event that we'll be gunning for next month!
Not bad for a Sunday afternoon!!
