While I may have settled in the PNW, it's not my favorite region in the world.

October to December or so are throw away months the vast majority of years. The days get short, cold and generally quite rainy. All track operations pretty much cease, it becomes too wet to mountain bike, but generally not cold enough to snow and bring snowboarding to the mountains. I whitewater kayak as well, but the early season river selection is fickle as without snow pack to stabilize the river levels they often spike aggresively and then fall away just as fast.

Leading up to the Event

So this event appears to lilkely be the last event of 2025 for me. Not too shabby of a season with a bunch of Time Attack wins combined with a few class and track records. I definitely have made if further than I ever expected to, and so a nice unwinding track day at ORP with an open format seemed right up my alley.

I'll get back to a writeup for this event when I can, but I didn't even get to take a single picture! I was so busy focusing on making sure my wife had fun with her first solo track event that I just lost myself in that.

Fresh off the win from the previous weekends Time Attack event with OnGrid, I had to swap the whole car back to being ready for SCCA Max2 class rules.

So after my previous time attack event with OnGrid, I ran my bes time ever, dropping into sub 1:50 territory, but got positively demolished by some much higher end and heavily modified cars. I did notice however that my car would be far far more competitive in GT class, and I was only a few modifications away...

With the car tracked and tested all summer long we felt we were ready for the race weekend. We tackled some general maintenance and a full review of the car, packed up enough spare parts to largely reassemble almost anything on the car if need be, and drove on out to the event.

This event was just a fun little afternoon event with Track Night in America. I made a few modifications to the Corvette and decided I'd test them out at the track, see how everything is working together and have some fun times driving around the track!
