Our next races will be at Grattan Aug 17 & 18. This will be our last race before the Runoffs. Car Issues at Mid Ohio For our second event of the year we went to an SCCA Hoosier Super Tour race at our old favorite Mid Ohio hoping to have a great weekend with lots of our fans in attendance. Well, we had the fans, but the car was not happy. We skipped the Friday practice due to a family committment, then the car ran fine for the first quaifying session on Saturday morning. However, at race time it overheated, melted some spark plugs, and ran very poorly. After a few attempts at finding the problem, we loaded her up and went home to lick our wounds. We did later find the issue that has plagued us for at least two years and repaired the car. We have always said, as long as no one gets hurt, we have no body damage to repair, and we learn something, it was a good weekend. Read all the details in the NEWS tab above. For our first event of the year we went to an SCCA Majors race Pittrace to see how the car fared over Winter. At the Runoffs last October after we were torn down in the tech tent for fininshing 3rd, instead of taking all the parts home and assembling it there, we assembled it in the tech tent and drove it back to our paddock. Other than installing our new RaceKeeper camera, and the new Flagtronics module, we havent done a thing to it. It was a great weekend that did exactly what we wanted to do. We found some problems with the car on Saturday when the brakes went away completely, and the handling went off probably due to the old tires we had on the car. Kevin kept driving carefully and fell back to 4th in class but ended up finishing 2nd. Actually he was the only FP car to drive off the track as the others all had problems. We had pretty much got everything fixed for Sunday and the car ran great. He finished 1st with a pretty big gap back to Campbell who finished 2nd. We were also happy to work out a few bugs with the RaceKeeper camera system. We never got to test the FlagTronics since Pittrace was not set up for it yet Read all the details in the NEWS tab above. At the Runoffs the anouncer mentioned that this was Kevins 6th Runoffs podium finish. I got to thinking, that is pretty good! So I looked up the rest of the facts. Kevin raced the 1990 Acura integra at the Runoffs thirteen times, podiumed six times (two wins, two 2nds, two 3rds). He was called to impound (top six) ten times (podium + two 4ths and two 5ths). And the three times he did not make it to impound was when the car did not finish (a blown engine while in the lead, a blown engine in qual, then a flat tire while in 3rd, and a shorted injector). Wow, even I didnt think it was that good. Here is the first 6 laps of the Sunday Mid Ohio Hoosier Super Tour race in July with our new AEM CD-7L data embedded in the 360 degree video www.RuckRacing.com/MidOhioJune2020.webm And here is the out lap and first 3 laps of the 2020 Runoffs at Road America from our 360 degree camera with data imbedded via AEMdata. www.RuckRacing.com/Runoffs2020_1.webm And here is the 3rd qualifying session at the 2020 Runoffs at Road America where we were up on the track record when the car ran low on fuel www.RuckRacing.com/Runoffs2020_Qual3.webm We have decided to sell the 1954 Rolls-Royce Bentley R-Type. It is nearly perfect and deserves to be used more than we use it. To see all the details about this beautiful classic, go to www.RuckRacing.com/54Bentley.asp. We are very happy to thank our sponsors for their support. Although we have been approached by numerous companies we only accepted these products because we use and believe in them. Raxles half shafts, Ishihara-Johnson crank scrapers, Jeff at Special Projects Motorsports, and Hasport motor mounts have great products and have been great sponsors. We especially want to thank Cory at SloMotion for dyno ECU tuning, AEM Electronics, and Hoosier Race tires for their support without which we could be so successful.
