Equipe Rapide SCC Challenge Cup #1 - Mineral Wells Airport, Mineral Wells, TX. March 8, 2009 New season! New cars, new folks, grizzled veterans, great weather, fun course and the car made it through all the regular runs with only minor issues! Ahh, 1st event was nice and warm, though the overcast skies made for some OK pictures, but otherwise a very fun day. It was good seeing some the regulars out in their new cars, such as Jim in his white RX8 and Jeremy in his Z06. Sorry Jim, didn't get the "1st" picture of the RX in action, water temps kept me busy the 2nd heat. I'm sure Brad will get a great shot of it at the SCCA event this coming Sunday. Andy did his usual stellar job and got the car ready for the event at the 11th hour. He finished the motor and installed it on Saturday along with bleeding the brakes and clutch and we raced it on Sunday! The changes he made to the handling did wonders. He even helped out taking pictures while I was taking some of my runs. He caught me doing a loopdeeloop on my 3rd run in a nice 7 shot sequence and taking out a finish cone on my last run. I think he was just rubbing it in. :) There are 466 pictures, we split our runs between the 1st and 2nd heat to iron out a few issues with the car so I didn't take a lot. I took the 1st 330 or so of the pictures and Andy took most of the rest. Click on a thumbnail below to view the larger version. The pictures are 1350X900 to fit the new layout of the site pages. |
