Opening Lap Duel at Gingerman Raceway

The opening 2 laps of the Sunday Group 4 race from the 2024 SCCA Bert Sprints Majors at Gingerman Raceway. Started on pole in the STL class, 3rd overall. I learned from the Saturday race that I was quicker overall than the Z ahead of me despite him having the legs on the straights. Therefore, my gameplan was to get a jump on him at the start to try and build a gap to the other cars in my class ...

This is a 2007 Honda Civic Si that I purchased back in September and have been converting it over the winter to the same ruleset as the Acura.

Rain Race On A Slick?!? Blackhawk Farms SCCA STL 4/16/23
Переглядів 217Рік тому
My first day racing in the rain was not ideal. A blown rain tire on the right front 1 lap into qualifying meant I had no good times and no practice. What made it worse was I could not source a spare rain tire, so I was forced to replace it with a slick (right rear). Watch as I try to make my way forward while trying to stay on track and avoid other spinning cars.

    When I was a youngster, I ran FV in the Northeast. The New York Region was doing a weekend at the old Bridgehampton. My partner and I went down from Massachusetts. In those days, the front straight ended with a long, downhill sweeper. Word around the paddock was, that the Vs were doing the downhill flat. Being 22, I went out and held flat for the downhill. I was going as fast as the car would go at the end of the straight. It went round and round and round. … and up over a berm and into the woods. It didn’t flip but I was quite a ways from the track by the time it stopped. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

    It's good practice to tap the brake pedal with your left foot about halfway down the straight. Just to make sure you have a pedal. Doing this also takes up any space between the pads and the rotor which might have resulted from component flexing during the last corner. It's nice to have a firm pedal when you reach the brake point.

    Morbidly curious because I've never been on that particular track... did you get a "confidence tap" on the brakes before you hit the braking zone? Not that any "notice" would have helped... you were hauling ass. Didn't know if a 5/4/3 downshift might have helped lessen the blow.

    • @Patrieracing
      @Patrieracing 8 місяців тому

      I got in the habit earlier in the year to tap the brakes well before entering hard brake zones. This instance was no different. The pedal quit working about a second after I started braking.

    I think I'd have done the same as you. Hitting the tyre wall head on never seems like a sensible option when you're in the heat of the moment. Tracks should have something designated for brake failure for you to aim at really especially at the end of a long straight where the speeds are so high. Motorsport can do better
