Bug Jam 2009

With 17 Outlaw Flat Four cars entered for Bug Jam it turned out to be a great weekend for us. The weather was awful but the vibe in the pits more than made up for it. We're really proud to be part of the Outlaw Flat Four Club and we're really looking to the rest of this season!

Racing wise we managed to get a few passes in on Saturday and one in on Sunday morning before the rain set in and the meeting was called. It was a strange weekend for us with the car as the track wasn't in the best of shapes as the treaded tyres from the RWYB session ripped all the rubber up from the normally superbly prepped track. In the morning's RWYB session we managed a stonking 12.0 at 109 with not much traction off the line (although it did manage to lift the wheels as we found out in photo's!). We were looking forward to the MSA session but we had 'bogging' issues of the line, I tried up pressures in the tyres but one moment it would spin and then it would hook up and I couldn't seem to get a handle on the track. The best Adele managed was a 12.2 but it was enough to qualify and more seat time in the car. With the meeting then called its now onto Avon Park for the Open Sports Nationals in 3 weeks time..
