    How'd you do in class?

    Are you a Yankee citizen yet, or ever?

    I think for track days, you should bust out the duo-flag of Canada and the Republic of China.

    I just work here, and play here, but no desire to really be an American....lol

    I got my best result ever this weekend, 2nd in a class of 12. Pretty freaking stoked about it....

    The video was my 2nd run, I don't have my best run though....

    I was in RTF class, or "Road Tire FWD". Its an indexed class for stock vehicle. The winning time is based on the original classing of the vehicle and then normalized for performance difference. So you can race a turbo car like mine against something like a Mazda 2 or something. Its like bracket racing for autocross....

    The reason why SCCA made class like that is because its hard to get enough people to race in each stock classes, sometimes you get 1 car in some class and sometimes 5, or 10. By running indexed you can get a big class and differing cars can race together. More competition is more competition. Cars in RTF includes GTI, Cobalt SS, Mazdaspeed 3, Fiat Abarth...etc. Basically any stock vehicle on street tire(wear rating 140+). Winning car this weekend was a Mazdaspeed 3.

    So did this SCCA meeting have a side aspect of swinging?
