Round 2 DMCC & other things

Things at the nine to five have been crazy lately so I have not had the chance to update the blog in a little bit. Past events are DMCC Round 2 and BMR's Pagoda / Duryea HillClimb.

We took 3rd place in DMCC, there were some epic battles in this round, here's the report:

The BMR Hillclimb was a great venture into other types of racing, we set the fastest time in our class in the serious runs going up the 1.1mile switchback filled road at 64 seconds. Not bad for being a drift car!

On sunday the fans started lining the hill so we decided rather than race up the hill it was time to put on a show. We had managed to source a set of 295's for the weekend but that didn't change a thing. SCCA and the people who run the BMR region are very nice and welcoming folk. I politely asked them to let me know if I was getting to crazy on the hill. They never said a thing and the crowd loved the action. Even some of the other drivers at the end of the day were sliding around just for fun!





Who said we could'nt play with F1 style cars?

Most of the guys in the completely custom chassis were running some form of motorcycle engine. With nearly 200hp on tap and weighing in at 900lbs makes these little shifter carts a load of fun to drive! Sequential transmissions also!

Here is a video of the hill from an in-car camera on an MR2



And a Fan video of turn 4 on the hill:




Next up is DMCC Round 3 at ICAR, a new track for all of DMCC.
