As some of you may know I have a few interests outside of cycling and one of them is racing SCCA Solo – otherwise known as autocross. I race a Lotus Seven clone known as a Birkin S3 in the SCCA D Modified class. I race for my local SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) club and this weekend I’ll be heading north to Helena MT to race in my biggest event of the year, the NORPAC (Northern Pacific) Divisional.
We will have people from all over the Northwest coming in for the event. I’ve counted folks from 9 states and Canada. I’m most excited to run against a married couple from the Seattle area who between them have a good number of National Championships in Solo in my class racing a 1966 Lotus Elan. I’ve run against them at this event in years past and and have always had a great time. They have beat me each time but I’ve been narrowing the gap over the past few years as I’ve upped my driving and car preparation. I feel that if things go very well I might actually be a threat this year.
So wish me luck at the Divisionals event this weekend.
Have a great weekend and thanks for reading,
Dave
