Well, despite a lot of thrashing to get the Z back on track we managed to do it! I missed practice and qualifying at Rockingham, but I did make the race. Starting from the end of the grid I managed to move up about six spots. Still last in class, but my best laptime of the race would have put me mid-pack and I was consistent. If I could have started mid-pack I think I could have held on to that.
The Traqmate data system is AWESOME! Reviewing the data on Sunday night I found several places I could be faster and I have no doubt I'd pick up a good bit of time racing again there. IMHO when you go racing, or start to go racing, you should get a helmet, suit, gloves, shoes, and a Traqmate. I won't race without it anymore, just to valuable. Lots of time in the driver and this is the way to find it, or one efficient way to find it.
Anyhow, nice to get out and get my race on. I got my edge back, and am going to run this car all year in SCCA ITS for points. Still got work to do with this car, but it is tuning and driver, not re-construction like the Jensen!!!
