SCCA Solo Nationals

[Reijo]

Cam just ran clean ... but the places are tight ... 5/10 between 4th and 7th ... and Cam is in 7th ... a trophy, with one run to go.  Like I said, it is a one run race ... whoever does best on their last run ...

[Reijo]

You can look up all the results here:

The course is dry now the announcer said; the report just came in from the pit reporter.  However it is "dirty" ... e.g. cars are kicking up dust ... e.g. times are going to be faster by the run!   Cam is running near the end of the class and that could be a huge advantage ... just gotta get a good and clean run!  Go Cam go!

[Reijo]

Cam is still in the trophies with no one threatening ... 7th place for sure it looks like with one run to go.

Ryan just pulled up ....

[Reijo]

Ah, Cam only gained 1/10th ... but enough to move him up two positions ... think Cashmore might have just jumped ahead of him ... yes ... by 0.013 sec.   So 6th place trophy for Cam ... It takes a lot to get a trophy out there ... goes to show you ... very stressful heat ...

[Reijo]

The alien, Mark Daddio, wins AS.  Last year he actually pouched his best run and did not win in the same car ... so he is not infallible (I wrote the Sports Car Mag article on AS and SS last year - my job last year).

[Reijo]

Scott Fraser wins SS over Ken Motonishi ... both past multiple National Champions.

Heat 3 next ... and Stephen in DS in his Mini.

[Reijo]

Stephen's back got loose in the 6 cone slalom .... and DNF'd his first run ... think it is still a bit dirty/slippery out there ...

[Stuart]

Congrats to Cam on the Trophy, very impressive!

[Reijo]

Stephen got back on-course and jumped into 8th (9 trophies) on his 2nd run ... Now he needs to put the hammer down and see how high up the ladder he can get on the last run.

I am sure the course is still cleaning up and rubbering up and thus is getting faster and faster ... so another one run race.

[Reijo]

Unfortunately Stephen did not improve on the last run and others did ... so he is out of the trophies now.    If you look up the list a lot of the fastest runs for the heat are on the last run ... Needed that good last run to do well this morning.

[Reijo]

STX is running on the east course ... with Craig Wilcox leading the way also from day 1 ... and Alan Rae is coming in DM on the next heat on the east as well as  Bryan Heitkotter in STU ... another big battle!

The Sawatskys are running next on the west course (5th and last heat).  By the way  they own the Speedworld indoor karting place in Winnipeg ... drop in there if you are ever there.

[Reijo]

72 cars in STX and Craig Wilcox takes home his 4th jacket (National Championship) ... Last heat with Steve Eckstrand (from LA) announcing .... Alan Rae in DM and Heitkotter is in STU.

[Reijo]

Jeff Kiesel in his Sprite wins EM for a total of 11 straight National Championships.

Bryan Heitkotter just won STU in his 350Z ... to add to his collection of championships.

Also, before I forget Jinx Jordan who came here and taught the SoloPro Schools a few times (co-founder but no longer with SoloPro) also won SMF ... coned his first two runs today and had to come up with a big result on his last run today and he did .... way to deal with pressure!
