First W2W Race with the SCCA and it was a phenomenal experience. Kinda threw the car together to make this event so no alignment and using old RT660s , not optimal laps for the car , but still great seat time on track.
This is just the first half of RD#1 as the rest of the race is just me alone, off pace :|
