My first National event...was quite different than our regular events, aside from the fact it was a different format than a regular Solo2 event, it was AWESOME!!!!
ProSolo has a drag race start with a light tree and all. Reaction times and 60ft times were announced...no idea what my 60ft times where, but my reaction times were ok i guess, best was a .624 worst was a .844... now factor in the fact i COULD NOT keep the damn CRX in gear when launching...it would always pop out of gear...VERY frustrating. I'd lose like 2 secs ****ing with the tranny back into gear. Even when i held it in gear, it popped out. So i had to granny launch it. Still smoked a vette on one run
Anyway, my times were prtty good compared to national champs in Z06's and TT RX7's. I was only 1.4 or 1.5 secs behind Gary Thomason (his best vs my best) and only 3secs back overall. (In ProSolo you run mirror course back to back and they combine your best left side and best right side)
I did get picked forthe bonus challenge, i was up against a Vette...green light goes and were off, i get the best launch i had all weekend and pull the vette all the way down the straight (ya i was suprised too) then as i hit the first right hander kink, i had way more speed than before, and it broke loose, i drifted outside of the gate to a DNF, but was still only 1/10th behind the vette...but that was it, i was out, the vette advanced...i was EXTREMELY upset at myself...cause if hadn't of messed up, i would have advanced, cause i knew i could beat the vette...oh well, next time i guess.
here's the SM2 results (I did manage to beat TC Kline, not sure if he's a past champ, but i was told he was a contender...he must of had an off weekend
all the results can be found at www.scca.org under the prosolo section.
