Looking for maximum torque without losing pedal feel? Take it from @rwense2, owner of @rapiddesigns.us and SCCA TT competitor:

"The DTC-70s felt almost identical to the 60s, just with more braking mu. In other words, all the modularity and release characteristics with shorter stopping distance."

$-\\\SCCA Time Attack Challenge @ Pocono Raceway///- With the death of Pittrace a bunch more locals showed up at the next closest national event which this year was Pocono Raceway. Trip had an interesting start when the tow vehicle I rented for the weekend decided to lock itself while it was running in my driveway (thank God OnStar was able to unlock it in short order). This was the first new track I've been on in quite some time so I wasn't expecting to set the world on fire, but figured maybe if things went well I could squeeze off a podium finish. Saturday morning our opening laps were in a downpour so that made for an interesting first session, but the car behaved great and it steadily dried throughout the day where I ended Saturday sitting in 3rd in class. However Sunday would be different. Biggest change was they announced they were changing which track layout we were running as we would be running the more technical "North South option 3" and while it was a fun layout I just didn't feel like I got it with only 3 sessions. While we were doing the opening parade laps to see the course there was a heavy thumping coming from the car. Here overnight one of the brake rotors cracked as it cooled down (happened behind the brake pads so never saw it when I looked the car over). Thankfully I had a spare and swapped it in record time for my first session. At the end of my second session the right rear tire suffered a serious puncture that couldn't be plugged. Huge thanks to Bob Korn who lent me his spare RX-8 wheels so I could at least finish out all my sessions. Got bumped off the podium, but aside from the rotor & tire the car ran flawlessly all weekend and went flag to flag every session so I'm happy it's back to full health. Was also great seeing so many of my OPTT family again after the program got thrown into chaos this year. I have to catch up on posting some other stuff, but enjoy the few pictures from the weekend! #joykillerracing #sccatt #funwithcars #poconoraceway #s2000$
