Due to some unavoidable circumstances we had to cut short our 2009 racing season. However, we are making plans to jump back in it in February when the team travels to Sebring to help kick off the 1st PCA Club Race of the year. That race proves to always be the biggest race of the year and we are excited to be making our first trip there.
After the event at Watkins Glen we had a few things to get fixed on the car. We discovered that our rear sway had become bound and locked up but we were able to get it loosened and reset. We had to have our clutch addressed and luckily it was nothing more than a broken pivot pin and we are ready to go. We also had to fix the rear fan belt pulley and were able to get that back up to spec. Since then we have discovered a fluid leak on our left rear caliper and so all four calipers will be undergoing a rebuild this winter. Also, we have some items to fix on the trailer. Its beginning to show its age and even though it still looks good, we will need to address those issues before we hit the road in February. Fortunately the winters here are not too harsh and so we have a lot of time to get those things done.
We just finished up a second Drivers Education here with the local Porsche Club and were able to meet a lot of good people, and last weekend we attended the 30th annual All Ford and Mustang Car Show in Nashville. In addition to the car show they also put on an open track day at the speedway.

Our Booth and Display at the Car Show
In December we are planning on attending the PRI show in Orlando, where we will be looking for additional products that will enhance the club racers experience at the track. Even though we have abbreviated our racing schedule for the remainder of 2009, we still have plenty of work to do and opportunities to take advantage of.
Oh, did we mention to be sure to become a fan of the RAC Racing Team on Facebook?
