Tech & Driver, Jamie Bell -- The morning started out wet for the first session, then the rain set in until about 10:45. The track started drying out, we continued running until 11:30 when we stopped for lunch (they also had a teen driving school going on Sunday as well). The track officials worked for an hour and a half to dry the track with blowers and we went back to running at 1:30. Track conditions were good but there were still some puddles on and water continued to seep through the track surface. Those that left early missed out on what proved to be a very good afternoon session. The rain held off until after 3:00, so we had 3 good mostly dry sessions for lap times to improve. Our fastest lap time to date at this track is 1:18.9



This was the first official time trial that has been put on by the Florida International Rally and Motorsport Park and entries were kept down in case the timing system did not work properly. Because of the rain, several entrants decided not to run or left early. It was ran using NASA rules as a guideline and future events will be run in a similar fashion.



1 1:21.203 TT4

2 1:23.062 TT4

3 1:24.405 TT5

4 1:24.552 TT5

5 1:34.950 TT5

6 1:45.405 TT3



Listed above are the top six positions, they are also listed on the FIRM’s website. Our car was running at the legal weight (3553#) and horsepower (292hp average). We changed tires during the event, 275-35-18 Nitto Tire USA NT01’s it ran 1:22.770, and on an older set of Hoosiers it ran 1:21.203.



We hope to see more racers out there at the next event!

Are you having any trouble keeping it cool? What temps are you running?
