Autocrossed Renee's SL55 today..

Sacramento SCCA at Mather. After three 56.xx second runs it went way down in power and decided not to shift right. The roll bar came up by itself as well. I'm thinking the intercooler pump might not be working.
After taking six runs we put the car away. After sitting for two hours it was all back to it's normal self.
I have to say her SL55 is much better at autocross than my S55!
Next week our regular autocross car should be up and working.

I did an autocross in the sl55 once. Duel at deanza in south bay area. Did pretty well for my first autocross, tied a dinan m6 at just over 60 seconds. With a bad abc strut and ic pump (same symptoms as you had)

These cars are pretty nimble if you can keep the blower engaged through the turn. Im hoping an fsp fixes this for me
