We held the Mile High Indoor Champs here at 5280 Raceway in Denver, Colorado this past weekend. I raced the VBC D06 in mod sedan, qualifying 8th and finishing 9th in the A-main. I am no sedan guru, but with some setup help from Dave Ehrlich and Keven Hebert, I got the car working pretty well (I just need to work on driving it!) Most of my changes were focused on making the car feel more 'direct' with more on-power steering, and I think we succeeded with those items. This was also the first big race using the new Gravity RC spec tires, which proved to be a great tire choice!

Changes from my usual setups include the following:
- Front diff with 2.5 million cst
- 0.5 mm shims under the front blocks, 1 mm under the rear blocks.
- 3 degrees of rear toe instead of 3.5 degrees
- 2 mm ackermann shim instead of 3 mm

The weekend started out frantic for me, as I had to work later on Thursday before I could go down for club racing and I also had to work again on Friday morning before I could really start getting some practice laps in. I also have been sleeping really poorly for the past week or so, which meant I was already sleep-deprived before the late nights of practice even started! As such, I felt a little out of it for most of the quals and racing, but I still think it was a pretty good weekend.

With mod sedan I always knew it was just going to be a learning experience and that I really wasn’t going to be competitive. As such, I was happy to be in the A main and I feel like I learned a lot about both setup and about driving mod sedan on carpet. I had a slight bobble with Paul in the main when my car spun on the sweeper and he then hit and rolled over me, but all is good. Most of my setup changes were focused on trying to make the car feel more direct and get more on-power steering. I think I succeeded with those items and the car ended up feeling really good, I just had trouble wheeling it in the quals and mains. Definitely not on my A-game this weekend with sedan.
