Well some of you may have noticed there was a post in the Extra events section about a lapping day hosted by a Company called SRR. Well I went to it today not totally expecting to do to well, because most of the cars are hondas and they are more often modifeid by there owners. So as I leave my house this morning I noticed it was raining so I thought to myself today might not be so bad after all (I am half Scotish). After the nice and long drive I pull into Shannonville too see some nice looking civics and one or two Type Rs, mean while it is still a heavy dew.
The circut we were going to run was the Full track after the morning of lapping (note: lots of laps) somebody put oil down all most all around the track and it was getting really slippery dugh. So then they decided to run the Pro track whitch I actually liked better I was still sliding around like I was on ice(yes I had my RA1s on the car with only four grooves;) . So after about one they started to have there style of a solo1 they gave each driver two and a half laps, one warm up and one timed and the half you got of the track on the fabi straight. This was actually pretty fun.
So here I go trying to get a fast fast lap and it is still really wet thank god(Scotish thing) as I enter the track I start of at a nice pace so not to show my cards to early, hehe anyway come around for my timed lap enter the first corner it starts to slide like it has all morning second corner bit more of the same the rest of the track was sticky. The car that was on track before me was a 97-98 gsr with road tires we'll just say push, I caught him entering the hairpin on the front straight (I also figured the line of that hair pin)so not knowing if to pass or not I didn't want a bad time so I passed him and won the intermidiat class with a lap time of 1.34.59X. This time would have been good enough for second of the advanced class :) . So I am now looking at a little trophy and front and rear SRR racing shocks for a Honda Civic hehehe.
Oh the winer of the advance class was the guy with the black Acura RSX I think all you Solo1 guys know him. I was two second of his timed lap.
