This year, 2008, marks my second year
into proper wheel to wheel road course racing. Of note is that in 2007, my
first year racing, i secured second place in the driver's championship with
SCCA's NER and NARRC regionals.
The car of choice is an RF99 ex-Richard Morgan
owned USF2000 pro car with one of the best Elite motors in the country. She
was only raced twice in 2005 and once in 2006, where she took pole for the VIR
Pro series race and finished an impressive second. For the past few years
the car was serviced by Glen Phillips at GTP Motorsports. Penske 8700 triple adjustable
dampers (shocks) with ICP hydraulic perches and upgraded motor mounts are
but a few of the mechanical details. Naturally the Pi System 2 data acquisition
has all major sensors and i plan to data mine each session to squeeze out
that very last tenths of second. For now, that is all the data i choose to
provide the competition as we are constantly making changes and upgrades as
deemed necessary.
