2011 scca nationals

Here is some live coverage of the event if anyone is interested. http://www.speedcasttv.com/scca/#/races/253

Marty Grand is trying for a repeat of his National Champoinship in T2. Not sure if we have any other EVO's running? How about a good STO car? (big $ required but i think you could put something together)

Marty looking good on the grid in 4th place! The Ford Mustang's are 1st and 3rd. Ford supports the Mustang drivers with thousands in cash awards, so they have a bit extra motivation!

Well the mustangs have been holding back all year just so they could come out strong for runoffs.

I'm sure they will be hit hard with penalties for next season or moved to T1.

Marty repeats as T2 National Champion!!!!!

The track was slightly wet at the beginning of the race. Marty started 4th and was the only one to opt to go out on rain tires. He quickly moved into 1st on the slightly wet track but as the track developed a dry line, the mustang ran away from the field and Marty dropped back to 5th place. The on lap 6 the rain started to come down and arty was able to get back into 3rd place and started to reel the Mustang back in. Around lap 8 the skies opened up like mad and it got so bad that most of the people on slicks that hadn't already spun off track opted to just pull into pit and forgo the rest of the race. Marty ran away with the race and took the checkered flag under full course caution. It was a masterful strategy!

After what happened yesterday, it makes me very happy to read that. What caused yesterday's issue, by the way?

Power steering pump pulley broke. Of all the years and all the Evos I've ever dealt with, I've NEVER seen that failure.

Wow, that is definitely an unusual one, thanks for the info.

It was hilarious listening to the commentary team talking about that fluid coming from a possible "turbo inlet pipe" failure. LOL

Unfortunate you didn't get podium. You were keeping those bimmers behind you. Great job! Not too often do you see coverage like this of an evo racing.
