The blessing of SCCA Nat. status doesn't mean jack ! Just look at the ARRC . The level of competitiveness is equal to the runoffs;fine driving and well prepared cars !! There are cars at both races running at the front and some running 3 to 5 secs. off the mark. How accomplished your driving is and how much time and money you spend on R&D is the real outcome. Sure money can make one faster but it rarely buys skill. But life's not fair so we all need to drive well and hope to win the lottery !!
Good luck at the ARRC and/or next season !
