I actually got some legitimate times on this outing! Had I not just barely clipped one cone on my best run, I would've been 8 seconds behind the SM2 class leader in a Mazda Miata, with the cone it was 10. Last time I was DNF all 3 runs and but my best was 11 seconds behind the leader, even though I skipped a gate or two.
I have a feeling it's going to take a very long time to get close.
h: I bet next time I will find another second or so just because I'm still getting a feel for it and I know I'm not pushing to what I think is my limit is because it's all still so new and I still get a little lost. But could my car really have 8 seconds left in it? I can't imagine, but I do know the guy who won G-stock in an 88 CRX Si would've been about 3 seconds behind the leader if he ran in SM2, and I think that's bone stock except for Konis, cat-back, and slicks that are 225 in the front!
h: That guy is really good, he's been doing it forever, he said the Koni's make a nice difference. Just out of curiosity what is a full suspension generally worth timewise, probably only a second or two I'm guessing?
I'm still having a blast though, it's a lot of fun. Although I wasn't having too much fun on my afternoon runs because 4 hours of sleep finally caught up with me.
