2010 Time Trial S NASA National Champion!
I just got back from Miller Motor Sports Park in Utah where we just held NASA's 2010 National Championships. I am the new TTS NASA national champion! The track felt slower than last year but everyone had to contend with the same conditions. I ran under the team name "Team Howard Racing" and won with a lap time of 2:03.5, second place was Tage Evanson in his dual wing supercharged Honda Civic with a 2:04.0, (some people know Tage from Time Attack), third was Jeff Sawtelle in his C5 Z06 Corvette with a 2:04.1. Sawtelle ran a 2:03.9 but his session was DQ'd because he came in under his minimum weight. Sawtelle was last years TTS champ, so it was good to beat him.
In addition I also placed 2nd in the Super Touring 2 race class behind Ron Farmer's Corvette C5 Z06. I had a chance at 1st but I went into the race with a weak brake pedal, (I think I need to replace my brake master cylinder). I was catching him towards the second half of the race but they threw the checkered flag 10min early because of too much debris on the track. It was suppose to be a 45min race. There were 23 entrants at the beginning of the weekend, 16 made it to the grid for Sundays final race. I feel pleased with my second place finish, although 1st is always better!
Depending on finances next year I might return to defend my TTS title and have another shot at the the ST2 win. Next year's nationals will be at Mid Ohio.
I will have updated dyno sheets and hopefully pictures to follow in the coming few days.
Cheers!

Thanks, Derek has told me about your second gen. I'd like to check it out sometime. We'll have to do lunch sometime.

Mazfest would be sweet, I think I was working on the car during Mazfest this year. I'll have to put it on the calender for next year. I'd like to go to sevenstock also, but it was the same weekend as nationals.

I've refined the fuel map since this graph to get the AFR's more consistent. Mainly above 8.5k and below 7.5k.
Also, Robert said he was letting off the throttle at 8700 since peak power was coming between 8k-8.5k.
