SCCA CAM-C Thread

Hard to do much better for a Father's Day gift that first overall in PAX and 5th overall on raw time behind two shifter kart drivers. So technically 3rd fastest car with doors behind a CAM-S Z06 and an SS GT3.

Finally got the stupid extended ball joint control arm I was waiting on Saturday. Pretty straight forward swap. Couldn't get the jack up to get the angle perfect before tightening it down without running completely bone dry on patience, so close enough.

Also got the replacement rings for the steeda two-piece rotors. That job was way easier than I assumed and was almost actually enjoyable in an OCD kind of way. Mine were worn to the point the slots were nearly gone (on the outside). Interesting both were in better shape on the inside than the outside, so I wonder if my caliper pistons are starting to get sticky, or maybe its cooling related (airflow hits the rotors on the inside?)

I wasn't planning on it but there was a CWI PCA event the next day 11 minutes from my house, so took a gamble.

Only like 20 cars, so we all got 10 runs. Small lot, so they did a big crossover which was worth 53+ seconds of an actually pretty good course, reusing a full slalom right in the middle. That club seemed to only have one timing light, so the start line was the finish line. That meant the "not overlaps" were >60 seconds, but with so few people we still got out before 2pm. One spot there was a dip that required smashing the splitter each run. I don't think I did any permanent damage. (marine plywood material has been fantastic)

Being a loosely run PCA event and not a SCCA event, safety factors weren't ideal. Some proximity to light poles and curbs would make an SCCA steward shudder, but what I really didn't like was continuing the event with corner workers on station with lightning strikes nearby. Overall, had a good time and would go back because I really did like the course design.

I'll tell ya either I'm rusty as heck and don't know how wide my own car is, or the diminutive grid-sized cones they were using on course were messing with my judgement of cone to car spacing, cause I hit cones on like 6 of 10 runs and was dirty the entire first heat. I slapped one hard with the rear tire fishtailing to the finish and I guess it was good for a field goal on the nearby football field.

Use the titanium skid plates on the splitter. Next to no damage to mine since installing and no longer damaging mounting hardware.
