Saturday Club Race, 3/7/20, SDRC Raceway

It was finally time for club racing at SDRC!  My goal for the day was to not crash!  Rather than driving hard trying to turn fast laps, my goal was to drive with precision, putting my car in the same place on each turn and jump of each lap, while not crashing.

In heat 1 I finished 3rd with a 15:03, fast lap of 19.256, average lap of 20.239, and consistency of 94.71%.  I crashed 6 times, but at least I didn’t need a marshal.  Not a good start!



In heat 2 I finished 2nd with a 16:18, fast lap of 18.855, average lap of 19.855, and consistency of 96.81%.  I hit another car due to it being thrown out right in front of me, but didn’t need a marshal.  Other than that incident, I didn’t crash once!!!  This was the run I've been waiting for!



In the main I qualified 6th and finished 4th with a 16:17, fast lap of 18.693, average lap of 19.729, and consistency of 94.83%.  I jumped off track once on the first triple and crashed once on the second triple, but again didn’t need a marshal either time.



Still no podium finish though, so I will be racing 4wd again at the next race.
