We took on the 24 hours of lemons in our lemony fresh MR2 at CMP. This would be our 3rd shot at trying to win (so far a pair of seconds). Really cool event with a parade downtown with free music and beer. We were doing very well until a axle failed and that 45 minute fix cost us a chance of a win. Worked our way back to 6th over the next 13 hours of racing.

Man do we suck at posting.

Well, since that last update, our Mike Ulbrik won the 2016 SARRC North championship, Chip O'Toole came runner up in the South and won the 2017 Southern half of the title. So thats an accomplishment.

We also fielded 2 cars for the first SCCA Bracket enduro at Sebring in July, winning both brackets entered. The faster of the 2 was Dave's old ITB Del Sol ("Del Slo") fitted with the running gear of a 95 Integra GSR with a limitted slip and some new bearings on the bottom end - an axle and brake eating monster but a good canvas for future work. The slower of those, an MR2 built to 24 Hours of Lemons rules, also filled in for an ailing ITB car at Barber for Steve, and carried the team to its maiden Lemons race at the same track, and then to a very strong 2nd place in B class at CMP this year.

Speaking of CMP, the Central Carlina Region SCCA and TrackSpeed Motorsports shared a loss last year when Herb O'Toole took the checkered flag in June. CCR honored him this year by renaming the Memorial Monster, typically held on Memorial Day weekend, to The Herb O'Toole Memorial Race. Mike and Chip made the long tow up and came home with 1 broken gear box in Mike's car (shift fork bolt broke) and a dented RR fender on Chip's MR2, but also a couple of uncontested 1st place trophies for the CCPS races, and a 3rd and 1st for Chip In The SARRC sprints. The Old Phart was smiling from on high that day.

Stay tuned, more fun is in the works at TSM.

TrackSpeed had a great weekend at Carolina Motorsports Park for the CCR SCCA Memorial Monster. Tropical Storm Bonnie waddled the attendance for Sunday, but the event was great regardless. Mike won the SARRC races, with Chip second. Chip and Steve shared the #22 MR2 for a win in the Carolina Cup Pro Series Saturday, and Steve ran the shortened Sunday race alone, also taking a win.

Good times.

Next up, Bracket Enduro at Sebring, July 23rd.

Not something we typically work on, but we got it running and performed the obligatory burn out. 4 cylinders of flathead fury!
