Fortune Evo @ VIR ST2 Race & UTCC
So this weekend @ VIR was a tough yet good one
Our car took part in the Grassroots Ultimate track car challenge and NASA ST2 Race.
Friday the car had a lot of gremlins. Initially the plan of attack was to run the car on street tires and low boost (21psi) for the warm up session and 1st session. Then for the last 2 sessions put the hammer down and crank up the boost to 30psi and run hoosiers. Well after the first warm up and session the front tire ate up through the main harness and the car was not drive-able lessening our chances in putting down some fast times.
The best time was a 210.xx and honestly that is pretty damn fast for low boost and 245 street tires. I think overall we placed 20th out of 52 cars in the UTCC. Not bad for full on cars that run in the 1:40 minute range at VIR.
Today the car had better luck in ST2. Whit Staples had a lack luster qualifying run but battled it out and finished third overall!!! We are very happy with the results considering this car is still in shake down mode.
Stay tuned for a video soon
Big thanks to Reid Speed, Atlantic Motorsports & Whit Staples
