EMRA Time Trial

[svx_commuter]

I ran the SVX in a time trial today. The day went like this, get lost on the way there, be late for the registration, late for the divers meeting, take all the stuff out of my car, get the tech inspection, be late new driver class. Get a great instructor, Bob Brejack and have him drive the SVX for a few laps showing me the lines, switch seats and run the first practice session (15mins), run the second session with Bob as a passenger (15mins), get signed off on completion of training, (I did pretty good ), drive the third session by myself (30mins). Leave before the timed runs because the SVX had problems, brake fad, wobble rotors, leaking front crank seal, smoking right front brake with a rim so hot the glue for the tape weights melted and the balance weights fell off after I stopped.

It was the most fun thing I ever have done. (Yes that's right)Coming out of a hair pin turn at 30mph, stomping on the gas which puts the car into a short accelerating power slide and then into another corner at full bore, tires sliding at the apex with the gas to the floor and then a third corner at 70, braking for a left and then flooring it most of the way around the banked south corner of the Pocono speedway at 95 mph What could be better than that?

You know what the best part is?
