Monday afternoon.=C2=A0 No one was willing to sell their spare engine, so =
he went home sad.=C2=A0 While I had the same HP as the winning Miata with a=
Prather engine, I needed to find another 10 seconds (found 8 for my first =

time at RA and only got one full test day session and one full qualifying.=

Thanks very much Jason and everyone else for your comments.
The Runoffs is always a crazy week.=C2=A0=C2=A0Sorry I didn't have more tim=
e to talk with you Jason.Had just gotten back from Hoosier where they "fixe=
d" two new tires and new wheels that were loosing air quickly.Nothing like =
a surprise one hour before the race to get your blood pumping.
Sticker tires I put on for the race were terrible.=C2=A0 Should have left t=
he qualifying tires on.
Finally back home in good old New Hampshire.Now I have the winter to rebuil=
d everything and find 20-30 HP.
If anyone is more than half interested, I recommend reading the GCR with em=
phasis on the Production rules and the PCS.https://www.scca.com/downloads/7=
3202-september-runoffsThat will give you an idea of what is currently allow=
ed, what isn't allowed, and how the competition's specs stack up.
