SCCA Winter Festival Majors at MSR Cresson TX - first 3 laps of Group 2 Race 2 on 2019-01-27.
This was my second race in the 2018 Honda Civic Si - a purpose-built race car homologated specifically for the SCCA T3 class and World Challenge TCA. I found it to be a remarkably easy car to drive fast.
I started P5 overall (P3 in T3). I was P1 (P4 overall) in Lap 3 (at 3:39), when I experienced an ECU issue - losing about 40 seconds before resetting the ECU and getting back underway. I dropped to P6 in T3 (P10 overall). I finished the 30-min race in P4 in T3, just 2.4 seconds off the podium. The ECU issue was related to a faulty sensor that has now been replaced.
Group 2 includes STU, T3, STL, EP, FP, HP, T3, T4 GTL, B-Spec, BG, ITA,
ITB, ITC, ITJ, SRX7, SPB, LG.
