Quote: Tom -- you did great! That's the competition you want to measure yourself against. The top cars, especially Maier/Pozzi, are professionally setup and have been fine-tuned for many years before you, and those drivers have many years of highest national SCCA-type Solo/autocross experience. Your car is and can be a top contender... but the CAM class is becoming a $$$ class, in my opinion... as its similar to C/Prepared, except 200 TW tires and licensed/insured. Lightest-weight (3000 lbs?... and let's see the weight results at the track/event), high HP/torque, hi-winding RPM engines (avoid shifting if/whenever possible for smoothness), stickiest tires, and especially driver's expertise will result in the best results. Learning the best placement of the car at every location of the course is critical, and of course the track layout has to be memorized with precision in your mind before each run... knowing where to be before you get there and far ahead (speed reading a course in your mind)... concentration mandatory.
Placing high as you did is very comendable! CONGRATS!
