I got the 710 back out last week to race with VARA at the terrific Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch facility in Pahrump, NV. Yeah, it's a long haul from NorCal, but worth it. The trip home turned into a bit of a mess with 50 knot crosswinds across the Central Nevada desert, and chains required over the Sierras (even on the trailer), but at least we had a story to … [Read more...] about VARA SPRING MOUNTAIN DUEL IN THE DESERT, ’18

SFR SCCA THUNDERHILL, NOV ’17
Just finished up a weekend of racing at Thunderhill Raceway Park for the SFR SCCA season finale. One week ago we had ten FCs signed up for Group 4, with an even split of first and second gen cars.
