Saturday Club Racing, SDRC Raceway, 6/27/20

In Heat 1, I finished 4th with a 15:00, fast lap of 18.812, average lap of 20.013, and consistency of 91.63%!.  I made 2 driving mistakes and had 1 crash.  My car felt like it was topping out on the straight early so I decided to gear my car back up, as I installed a smaller pinion during the week.  It turns out I installed a pinion which was 3 teeth smaller instead of 1 tooth by mistake!  No wonder my car felt slow!  I installed the correct pinion gear (24) for the next race.



In Heat 2, I finished 3rd with a 16:17, fast lap of 19.199, average lap of 19.827, and consistency of 94.79%.  I made 0 driving mistakes and had 1 crash on the wall.  



I qualified 5th (last) for the A main and some early crashes allowed me to finish 3rd with a 15:00, fast lap of 18.951, average lap of 19.816, and consistency of  96.43%.  I made 2 driving mistakes and crashed 0 times.  



Improved social distancing pitting.

Front tires starting to go bald.  I think they also slowed down my lap times.
