The annual "test and tune" event of the Central PA SCCA is a chance to tune your car and probably more importantly, the driver. After a winter of limited performance driving, this event is usually very helpful to get ready for the upcoming season. The event was held at the CPI facility, which is a great place to learn how to autocross due to lower speeds and technical course designs.
The weather was cold and slightly damp, however we have found that our Lotus Elise still does well in traction limited situations. The cold temperatures must have kept most people away as we had very little attendees, which means a lot of runs for the people that did show up! Drivers ended up with 12 runs and Loretta had me beat by 0.3 seconds at the conclusion of the first 6 runs. If this was a normal 5 run event, she would have surely beat me. I had 6 more runs to come back and I will tell you, it very difficult to get a time quicker than Loretta. On my 12th run, I got a 30.25 compared to Loretta's 30.6. I was temporarily relieved with the time, but I knew it wasn't over as Loretta had her final six runs coming up. In the end, Loretta's fastest time of 30.6 seconds remained, and we ended up first and second in the PAX index.
Below are videos of our fastest runs.
