Harvest Moon Autocross at Cumberland Airport

[SVXRide]

Well, the RaceCar got another workout this Sunday.
Did the 2.5 hour drive up to Cumberland and got in a total of 10 runs! ($4/run - what a deal). The folks that run the event are great - proven once more when they let me make up the 3 runs I missed in the morning as OT replaced a cam sensor and the water temp sensor
Once I figured out that we hadn't checked the tire pressures after switching the front and back tires (Hoosier Rs to the front, As to the back), the rest of the day was almost a "test'n'tune" exercise as we slowly started to get the front and back pressured dialed in.

The course was fast, but tricky in that the slaloms cones were several steps different between each cone (i.e., no rhythm to be found) and the S going into the stop box really burned off speed.

The RaceCar will definitely get tail happy if you're not careful with the tire pressures (there were two cones that had my name on them all morning! - tagged them with the rear, so I only heard the impact )

I dropped off a set of 295-35/17 Hoosiers on Mustang Cobra rims with OT, so the Pumpkin Carve should be a blast! (oh, did I mention the 275/16 Hoosiers need to be dipped in Kerosene to regain their "stickiness"? )

A big thanks to OT for letting me drive the RaceCar - it was a blast!
