After a dismal start to the 2011 World Challenge season with a huge wreck in St. Petersburg we were back in action for the season finale in Atlanta. The 2011 petit Leman provided to be a very competitive yet great weekend for the Synapse Racing Team and the new #28 Civic Si. This race was very important for us on many levels; first our return to World Challenge racing after missing almost the entire season to build a new car, second a new talented driver Jesse Clark made his pro racing debut. With minimal testing on the new car we packed the trailer and headed to sunny Ga.
Right off the trailer we were posting consistent and competitive times in testing and practice, yet the 2.5 mile high-speed Atlanta proved to be difficult for the under powered civics when compared to that of the turbocharged Volvos and VW. Our corner entry and mid corner speeds were great, but the exit speed just wasn�t quite there. Qualifying proved to be difficult to stay out of traffic and put that one magical lap together, especially since it was a 12 minute session. At the end of Thursday we found ourselves starting in p9, second fastest Honda in the field.
Friday came quickly, the fans, flag girls filled the starting grid, I field of 45 WC GT,GTS,TC cars flooded the front straight all waiting for the lights to go out and the race to turn one to begin. After turn one we saw ourselves in p10 losing one spot, but by the time of the esses we gained back 2 spots as there was contact between the 2 cars ahead of us. The next 50 minutes proved to be the most competitive racing of the season as the top 10 touring cars were glued to each other�s bumpers either putting moves on the competitor ahead or defending from behind on each corner. Jesse was in a 45 minute battle with Triston Herbert and the Brimtek Motorsports VW GTI, which finally ended on the second to last lap when Triston went off track from the pressure we had been applying. Neither Jesse nor Triston had much life left in their Pirelli slicks once the checkered came out.
We started p9 and finished in p7 making it a great result for the Synapse Racing team. It was one of the most competitive races to date, and a solid finish for the team and new comer Clark. We are looking forward to the 2012 season with the addition of a 2012 chassis, so look out for 2 Synapse Racing WC Civics for next season!
