Sacramento Autocross

Sacramento chapter SCCA autocross is in full swing.We are eight races done of twelve total. I have run 7 of the 8, and have 7 wins. So far, so good. I think I can add a link to some on-board videos. These are from round 8 at Stockton fairgrounds. The 2nd pass is my best for the day. https://youtu.be/w4jZOrseNuI Thanks for looking.

You MUST have a fast car! 1 mph while it's just sitting there. lol


Ok, ok, back to the vid.

Yea, speedo feature on camera is a little "sloppy".

Rick -- T/Anks for sharing the videos... I wish you continued success!

What is the SCCA class you're running in? CAM-T? or E/SP? other?

I run in CAM-T.

Great job Rick!

Just curious, prior to the Dart, did you have any autocross experience?

looks good, keep it up man!

Yes, I did an occasional Autocross prior to the last couple of years in the Dart. All front wheel drive cars; Shelby Charger, Omni GLH and a turbo LeBaron. And thanks guys for the compliments. Hey Tom! have you been out with the Z06?

Cool! Awesome!

Rick it took a little time to get used to it, I mean it's no 67 Valiant. I finished 2nd at the CAM Challenge CA but coned away FTOD. I did have one good day, winning the Hotchkis cup at their last event. But ultimately, I miss the old cars and enjoy trying to make them do stuff they were never intended to do, it's the challenge I love, so I just sold the Vette to a fellow local racer...

You going to buy back the Valiant?

They even got you to put on a Chevy shirt.

You know it's funny, that was Sunday, on Saturday I was racing it in my Valiant tee! A fellow forum member in the Bay Area has the Valiant now, I'm hoping he races it soon...

The purple Valiant is getting a horsepower transplant. The 300hp 360 is being replaced by a 380hp 360. Joe is swapping engines with a friend of mine.

Great Job NorCal!!

Thanks for the comments guys and congrats to you Tom for your success in the Vette...now good riddance to it, and get something INTERESTING to race.

There is a certain red Valiant back up for sale.

If you mean the "Red Brick", I talked with that guy in Cupertino in June. He didn't mention any plans to sell it then.
I wonder what changed?

Dont care what changed, its for sale.

Yeah... way to be polite about it.

It's politely up for sale, with some extras.

I don't want to hijack somebody else's thread. But it is true. An ad will be forthcoming.

Quick up-date; 10 races done out of twelve total. I have run 9, and have 8 wins and a second. Had trouble with my ign switch at round 10 and had to push the car out of line with a no-start situation. After some quick diag, I jumped the starter relay. Hot and semi-panicked, belted back in, and proceeded to over-drive the car and spin-out for my final run...oops! 2nd place finish for me. Rats! Last two rounds coming this next week-end. I already have the season championship sewn up, but still want another win. They score you on your best 9 (3 drops) and I want nine wins.
