Re: [Amc-list] SCCA Solo II Night race

["Bruce Griffis" <bruce.griffis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay,  I exercised Google - and I will HAVE to go check out Ed and his
son racing. My son has been doing Solo II parking lot events. They're
a lot of fun, but are low speed (you can't get a lot of speed up
racing in a parking lot - although some of those cars were definatly
FAST!). Looks like Ed does more road course type events.

I also got my son's venue wrong. He does Turner Field (got that one
right) most of the time, but when games are on - they go to Atlanta
Motor Speedway - not Road Atlanta.

So - Solo II was fun and exciting and pretty cool at night. But we're
going to have to check out Road Atlanta, that looks really cool!

It's fun if you can at least run in the middle of the pack. When he started he was at the end, but with some help from me and a couple other AMCers he got pretty competitive and was running in the top half instead of bottom quarter, and even won a couple class victories. My help was mainly in advice on driving the car -- using the six's better low end torque coming out of the turns instead of winding it up tight like a four or small V-6.
