Well this past weekend was an eye-opening experience. We had a bunch of national guys out for the SCCA Convention who stuck around until Sunday and came out to autocross with us. I had always heard that national champion level drivers are fast and we have a couple in region that I am able to hang with but the reality was nothing short of amazing. Jeff and Nicole Wong brought out an FS spec 2017 Camaro SS and just destroyed everyone. 3rd and 8th Raw times counting Karts.
On one hand, it is nice to see where the competition is. On the other hand, I need to be able to make up 3 seconds on a 50+ second course to be nationally competitive. I have a LOT of work to do, and Driver Mod 2.0 is the first thing on the list. Even given a perfect run though, I am not sure that I could have caught Jeff.
I almost feel like the gap in platforms is significant enough to warrant a shakeup in the class. It will be interesting to see how this year shakes out, but I suspect that the 2015-17 Mustangs have dropped off the competitive list for FS.
