We changed our schedule and decided to go race at Auto Club Speedway last weekend in the Pacific Coast Road Racing Championships. This race used to be a big deal out west for many years and then stopped as it fell out of favor. SCCA Cal Club has been trying to rejuvenate it for a couple of years now and we decided to show our support plus a fellow Runoffs competitor, Tim Day, was entering the event in his Stohr WF-1 with a 1,615 cc Hayabusa motor.

Tim and I met at Daytona and hit it off and are hoping to race a lot more together in 2016. The first Majors race of the year is at ACS in January and this would be a chance for us to learn the track and use this weekend as a warm-up event.

It's a relatively easy track to figure out and we got up to speed quickly and I put the car on pole with a lap time of 1:34.774. Tim started next to us and out pulled us at the start showing the potency of his lightweight Stohr with the big Busa engine. The next few laps were great fun and show what's in-store for next year.
