The first Event of 2015!

Been a while since an update. This past weekend was the first event my club hosted this year.  Had a lot of fun over the weekend, much trash talk was had.  Saturday I spent the day helping out with the Evo School running timing. I have done 5 of them in the past and learned a lot.  As usual with these classes watching the drivers go through out the day, its awesome seeing how much everyone improves. 

Sunday was the event in Helena.  Such a blast to get out with a car that really keeps up with me.  between my last update and this one I have managed to get almost everything I wanted done on the car.  Hitch is installed, Seat is in and adjusted.  I also added a mount to hold my tablet for data logging.  Sadly I only managed to log my last 3 runs as I was still trying to figure out how to get it working correctly.  All in all, I am super happy with how SoloStorm works.  Totally worth the money now that I understand it.  next step is to get my gopro connected to it so I can have sync'd video with the logging.

The event went well, Managed to take 2nd for raw time and 6th for pax.  threw one supercharger belt on my last run of the morning and replaced it over lunch.  While replacing it I had some help and I think we may have spotted the main issue with why they keep getting shredded.  it appears the super charger is not sitting quite right. the back is lower then the front causing the belt to climb the pulley and shred itself.  current plan is to try and lift the back to align things better and see how it goes.

This is a video of the second run of the day.  Not my fastest but in the ball park.
