We hadn't done well in the last couple of races especially at Willow Springs, so we had to step it up a little. We cut down the wing from each side and looks a little funky now, but whatever works.

We also put in some spherical bearings for the raduis rods which should help keep the car straight under breaking. We got to the track unloaded, and got the car ready for Practice at 8am. We decided to try 91 octane instead of the 100 since its much cheaper. I took the advice of Bernardo by changing the camber, toe, and tire pressure settings, and hoped for faster lap times.

Practice was good, even though there were alot of cars on the field including the USTCC and enduro drivers. Had the fastest lap in practice with a 2:14, but Practice usually doesn't predict anything. We changed the 225/50/14 Borbets to the 225/45/15 Kosei's.

Then it was qualifying time, not much room to get a fast lap, but I managed to put down a 2:13.4 which was fastest in qualfying out of 10 H4 cars. Rick Hohwart qualified in 2nd with 2:14.3 and Steve Ellsworth with 2:15.3.

I started in front of the Z in PSO and behind the Baby Grand.

At the start, Steve passed Rick for second place and I followed the Baby Grand. The Z passed me in the first lap and Steve caught up to me and tried to pass in the last turn and we went side by side onto the straight and through the first turn and then I pulled ahead as we went into the esses.


Then I drove with caution and kept the lead to finish the race in 1st!!

Steve finished in second not far behind and Rick in third, who was having some problems with vtec.
