2 at Miller Motorsports Park (MMP), in Utah.\u00a0 This is in-car footage of the National Championship race.\u00a0 ST2 had about 26 entries, but a few of them broke down before or during the National Championship race.\u00a0 There were 19 ST2 cars listed for the National Championship race, and Ed was in P10 for the start.<\/p>\n<p>Ed was battling with 5 of his competitors during most of this race.\u00a0 They exchanged positions several times.\u00a0 After Ed took the lead amongst that pack, his brake pedal fell nearly on the floor.\u00a0 Because of that he had to let 2 of his competitors pass him.\u00a0 Ed had to back off a bit and continued the race one corner at a time.\u00a0 He had to pump his pedal several times before every braking zone to make sure his pedal would holdup.\u00a0 One of his competitors he let by was Scott Howard, driver of the white 1st gen Mazda RX7, who went on to take 2nd place.\u00a0 Major congrats to Scott considering the troubles he\u2019s had the last 2 years at Nationals.\u00a0 The other was Jim Wagaman, driver of the yellow Mazda GT.\u00a0 After letting Jim by, Ed was able to keep him within reach.\u00a0 Unfortunately, NASA ended the race a bit short due to excessive oil spills.\u00a0 If it wasn\u2019t for that Ed would have had a chance to battle for 5th.\u00a0 Beyond that, if Ed had an optimal brake pedal, he would have been in a position to battle for a podium, but that\u2019s racing.\u00a0 As always, a certain amount of good\/bad fortune plays a factor for everyone.\u00a0 Ed ended up in 7th place, so it was a successful finish considering the circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:

\/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Ed&#8217;s Full Story:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 2010 NASA National Championship was September 14-19 at Miller Motorsports Park (MMP), in Utah.\u00a0 We were racing on the Outer course again this year, which is listed at 3.06 miles.\u00a0 I was there racing my RRE Evo 9 in Super Touring 2.\u00a0 Last year was the first time I had raced at MMP, let alone driven the track.\u00a0 And I left MMP with not much interest in the track.\u00a0 It just wasn\u2019t a track that thrilled or interested me.\u00a0 I\u2019m really not sure what happened this year, but I left with the exact opposite experience.\u00a0 I really enjoyed the track this year and left wanting more of it.<\/p>\n<p>The competition this year was fierce and diverse.\u00a0 There were around 3 times as many ST2 entries this year.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how many ST2 racecars were there, but from what I recall there were around 26.\u00a0 However, we lost a few by the final National Championship race on Sunday.\u00a0 And iirc, 4 people didn\u2019t finish the National Championship race.\u00a0 NASA\u2019s Nationals is brutal because on top of it being our National Championship, it\u2019s 3 days of racing.\u00a0 And the National Championship race is 45 minutes long.\u00a0 So NASA\u2019s National Championship is more like a marathon of races, as opposed to 1 race.\u00a0 Despite trying to be well prepared, you really have to be somewhat lucky because anything can and will happen, especially with 3 days of racing.<\/p>\n<p>Last year I was the first to be racing an Evo at MMP for NASA\u2019s National Championship.\u00a0 This year I wasn\u2019t alone.\u00a0 A Socal Honda Challenge racer was racing in H2 with his Integra, and ST2 with his Evo 9.\u00a0 There was also a guy racing an Evo in ST1, who I think is a MMP local.\u00a0 Although, I barely saw them on track.\u00a0 I think both of them were having some sort of issues.<\/p>\n<p>As for me, I didn\u2019t have any major challenges.\u00a0 I started and finished all 3 races.\u00a0 The only major challenge I had was trying to get used to my new aero on a track that I have very limited seat time on.\u00a0 As I noted in my previous thread, my new aero consists of an APR splitter that\u2019s coupled with an APR GTC-200 wing.\u00a0 KC from APR set me up with the splitter.\u00a0 As for the wing, to help me minimize my expenses for Nationals, my friend Sean Bradley gave me his APR GTC-200 wing off of his STi.\u00a0 My friend Scott Pennock gave me his GTC-300 wing off of his Evo also, but I ended up only using Sean\u2019s 200 wing.\u00a0 Sean\u2019s wing is slightly different than the Evo version, but we made it work thanks to Mike Welch, owner of RRE.\u00a0 The dimensions of the wing are identical, only differences are the size\/shape of the end plates, and the location of the wings mounting brackets.<\/p>\n<p>Before anything else I want to thank all my sponsors, RRE, [forum-restricted]spec, Girodisc, South Coast Mitsubishi, and APR.\u00a0 Without their support I would not be able to do all of this.\u00a0 My racecars home away from home is at RRE.\u00a0 I\u2019ve spent many long nights at RRE prepping under Mike\u2019s wing.\u00a0 For instance, Mike spent a great deal of time fabricating and installing my splitter and wing.\u00a0 It was a great deal of meticulous work, but he made it enjoyable.\u00a0 I can\u2019t say enough good things about Mike and his crew.\u00a0 He is such a genuinely good person.\u00a0 I truly enjoy working by his side.\u00a0 More than anything because he is patient, and has the capacity to explain just about anything in the simplest way.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t grow up around cars, so I\u2019m the furthest thing from a gearhead\/grease monkey.\u00a0 Not everyone has the capacity to teach, but Mike is one of those rare people.\u00a0 Not only has he been around, but he also has the capacity\/wisdom\/patience to teach without coming across as arrogant\/condescending.<\/p>\n<p>So, did my new aero and brake ducting help?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 But I\u2019m not sure by how much because I don\u2019t have a comparable reference point for MMP.\u00a0 I\u2019ll know better when I run ACS in Socal.\u00a0 I can say that my car feels different with the aero.\u00a0 And I can tell that my new brake ducting is helping, but it has its limit.\u00a0 With my experience, I can now say that if I want to maintain faster lap times in a race, I can\u2019t do it with the OEM calipers.\u00a0 I have proven that the Girodisc rotors work, but they can only do so much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The dyno situation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There was 1 factor that put me at a disadvantage compared to everyone else.\u00a0 NASA couldn\u2019t get an AWD dyno this year either.\u00a0 Last year they found a MMP local with an AWD dyno.\u00a0 And I went last year to test on that dyno, but it was malfunctioning.\u00a0 That dyno was malfunctioning this year also so NASA tried locating another one.\u00a0 They tried, but they couldn\u2019t get anyone to commit.\u00a0 So while everyone else (RWD, FWD) had the opportunity to check their power at MMP and to tune their car on the 2WD dyno, I couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>NASA did however have GPS units that they used to monitor a lot of people, including me.\u00a0 I requested that they monitor me all day Thursday so I knew where I was at.\u00a0 That way, if I was down on power I could at least take ballast out of my car.\u00a0 Problem was that they were busy and fell behind, so they didn\u2019t get a GPS unit on my car until Friday.\u00a0 That hurt me even more because I pretty much lost any chance I had on Thursday to adjust my weight.\u00a0 So I basically went into the 2nd day without any real progress on my setup.\u00a0 Although, they sincerely apologized, and went out of their way to help me out.<\/p>\n<p>They finally got some data of me on Friday, and that\u2019s when I found out that I was down on power.\u00a0 They told me by roughly how much I was down on power, however, it didn\u2019t really help me because they weren\u2019t allowed to tell me what my actual numbers were with whatever other math they needed to apply to that data.\u00a0 So I knew I was down on power, but I didn\u2019t know exactly by how much.\u00a0 Therefore, I didn\u2019t know exactly how much ballast I could remove.\u00a0 Best case scenario, I figured I could have been close enough to making the power I needed with their calculations, but there could have been something funky happening in my powerband.\u00a0 Keep in mind that my car was tuned in Socal, so maybe at MMP\u2019s elevation, around 4,400 ft., my powerband wasn\u2019t as efficient as it could have been.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a comforting feeling knowing my car is potentially down on power by enough of a margin, and I can\u2019t really do anything about it because there isn\u2019t an AWD dyno.\u00a0 Meanwhile, my competitors have the opportunity to tune their cars at MMP on the 2WD dyno.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Results:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As I noted before, this year I was able to start and finish all 3 races (Thursday, Friday, and Sunday).\u00a0 My focus was to make it to Sunday, so my plan was to progressively get up to speed.\u00a0 We started off with around 26 cars in ST2, but a bunch of them had some sort of issue from the first day.\u00a0 Conversely, everything worked out well enough for me on Thursday.\u00a0 I qualified in 13th\u00a0 place, and finished the race in 11th.\u00a0 I also improved my time in the race by about 1.5 seconds.\u00a0 I was basically on track with my plan of attack.\u00a0 Only issue was that after the race I found out that one of my rear brake pad pins and the clip was missing.\u00a0 It was a first time for me.\u00a0 I called Mike at RRE and he immediately shipped me replacement pins and a clip overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Friday started off well in Qualifying, because I improved my time from Thursdays Qualifying session.\u00a0 I also improved 2 spots by starting the race in 11th, but my race didn\u2019t go as well.\u00a0 PTA was mixed in with us, but they only had 3 entries.\u00a0 However, only 2 of them were competitive.\u00a0 One of the PTA cars, I think it was a turbo Miata, dive bombed a few of us.\u00a0 He was clearly a fast driver with a really fast Miata.\u00a0 Since my goal was to make it to Sunday, I didn\u2019t want to tangle with him, or anybody else for that matter.\u00a0 On the other hand, it didn\u2019t seem like he had the same plan, so a couple of us got stuck behind him.\u00a0 He was clearly trying to use us to put some distance between himself and the other PTA driver.\u00a0 We were all bunched up so I kept my distance and didn\u2019t really bother trying to pass anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday was our groups day off, so I spent pretty much the entire day relaxing and getting ready for Sunday.\u00a0 Everything went smoothly and I was ready to go.\u00a0 Sunday\u2019s race was a great deal of fun.\u00a0 I was in P10 out of 19 ST2 cars listed.\u00a0 For me, it was intense from start to finish.\u00a0 Since I was hit last year at the start of the National Championship race, which ended my race, I wasn\u2019t sure what to expect out of a 45min race.\u00a0 All my other races thus far have been 35min races.\u00a0 You can see how it all went down because I have in-car footage of the entire National Championship race.<\/p>\n<p>What basically ended up happening is that my brake pedal fell nearly on the floor.\u00a0 In the meantime I was battling with about 6 other ST2 cars.\u00a0 We exchanged positions several times throughout the race.\u00a0 I finally took the lead amongst our pack, but my brake pedal didn\u2019t have the capacity to allow me to stay competitive, so I let 2 of my competitors pass me.\u00a0 One of them was my friend Scott Howard, racing his White 1st gen Mazda RX7.\u00a0 Scott went on to take 2nd place.\u00a0 Major Congrats to Scott, especially considering the issues he\u2019s had the last 2 years at Nationals.\u00a0 The other driver was Jim Wagaman, driver of the Yellow Mazda GT.\u00a0 After letting Scott pass me, I thought about ending my race, but decided to stay on for a bit longer.<\/p>\n<p>I had to back off and focus on taking it one corner at a time.\u00a0 The only way I was able to do that was to pump my pedal several times before every braking zone.\u00a0 For the longer straights I actually had to pump my pedal in 2 sets.\u00a0 Around 3\/4 way down every long straight I\u2019d apply 1-2 pumps to make sure my pedal still had the capacity to rise.\u00a0 Then before the braking zone I\u2019d start pumping again to prepare the pedal.\u00a0 All the while I was able to keep Jim within reach, and with about 2-3 laps to finish we closed the gap on Josh Carroll, driver of the Bronze Mazda GT.\u00a0 Josh clearly had some sort of issue also.\u00a0 However, NASA ended our race a bit short.\u00a0 We were told it was due to oil spills.\u00a0 I remember hearing of 2 cars specifically that dumped a bunch of oil all over the track.\u00a0 If our race wasn\u2019t cut short, both Jim and I would have passed Josh in that lap.\u00a0 And since Jim wasn\u2019t pulling away from me, I\u2019m confident that if I had the entire race I would have had an opportunity to pass him again.\u00a0 Furthermore, if I had an optimal brake pedal, I was in a position to battle for a podium.\u00a0 Either way I\u2019m happy with 7th place given the circumstances.\u00a0 If you watch my entire race you will see how busy my left leg gets pumping my pedal before every corner and down the long straights.\u00a0 It was another great experience.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond all that, a certain amount of good\/bad fortune pretty much always plays a factor also.\u00a0 Here are some examples of people I know of who weren\u2019t fortunate.\u00a0 Ryan Cashin blew his engine on the first day and never got to race.\u00a0 Oli Thordarson had a puncture in his oil filter during the National Championship Race and had to pull off on the warmup lap.\u00a0 John Gordon was dominating all week by winning both Qualifying Races, and also set the fastest lap times.\u00a0 However, John\u2019s car broke down in the National Championship Race.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure but I think it was due to a blown engine.\u00a0 Basically, anything can and will happen in a race because despite trying to be well prepared, a certain amount of good\/bad fortune always comes into play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Link to the Results of the National Championship Race:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0<a
