Default GWiz in the hunt for a trophy at Nationals
She was supposed to be driving the SSC Scion FRS that she's run for a few years, but it had car troubles, so she jumped classes and is competing in my car in SSPL. SSP is a prepared class with more power, bigger wheels, ..., lot of go fast stuff and she's in my SSR Corvette. Meaning, she's out-car'd.

After day 1, she's only 2/10th from 2nd chasing a GT3. Tomorow's course is much longer and more technical, so plenty of chances to make up a LOT of time

http://sololive.scca.com/SSPL.php

1st place has 10 National Championships, so Sami and GWiz are doing the Corvette/Porsche rivalry for 2nd place.

Here's how she would be at a ProSolo, because they'd run on index time. The Pax # is the time multiplier to even out the cars.

Sami
SSP 0.853
Raw Time - 50.646
Pax Time - 43.20

Geraghty Anne
SSR 0.846
Raw Time - 50.830
Pax Time - 43.00

And here's the self-deprecating post. GWiz beat dad on this course by 1.5 seconds.

A LOT less luggage. She's easily 160 lbs lighter than me...and she has a bigger brain than me. She WILL win a national championship at some point. Mark my words.

Remember that autocross day at Fort Devens a few years ago? On the very last run, I hitched a ride with @L98Terror, who proceeded to throw down the (his?) fastest time of the day. Why? Ballast.

Try riding along with GWiz on a run to see if that would improve her time.

SHE DID IT!!!!!!

Underdog car, and a spin on her first lap, and a second behind on the 2nd lap and pulls it out of her butt on the 3rd and final run.

2nd place trophy winner! Her 2nd national championship trophy in back-to-back years.
