I've had better days...
I only hit one cone and did get a time on my second run when I went into the grass

Notice the june results, That orange porsche beat my "Bill Stock"90 legacy by UNDER 2 seconds ( after he told me how much tire pressure to run) I guess he's DONE talking to the ROOKIE in the grandma car. The only cone I hit that week was the one I mowed while doing a 360 in the slol.....Can't spell it

Too bad you don't qualify for E Prepared.

. Remember what our struts look like in the back. I know they won't be fixed by this weekend states either but maybe by the Subaru challenge but I don't have the cash at the moment.

There are a few "Bill Stock" things I want to try on the XT.. I've had some time to 'toss and turn' When I should have been sleeping, and have come to the conclusion that I don't need to turn up the BOOST, I need to put a block under the peddle.!. The main issue with the XT was traction and wheel hop, and my trying to POWER over the wheel hop instead of backing off!! Mistake # 1
# 2 was even trying the course with junk yard tires
# 3 Trying to X the car without knowing how much air was in all 4 corners

I ran 40 psi front and 38 rear, The roll was less than 1" on the front and the back was even less.

Words of wisdom collected from Mr. Moran,,, If you understeer, nail it! if you oversteer, nail it! It will srraighten out!! ( Worked every time but 2)

Here are some pics taken by the lovely Kimmie. They are of Jerry and Dave behind the wheel. The one of Dave shows him about 20 feet into the grass and yes he is facing the wrong way

I'm putting some more on our site so stop in and take a look, while you're there VOTE for FREAKS SITE!

sundays course was the second toughest I've ever seen! Anything in the low 50's was FAST!

Hey, someone asked me how the victoracers handled turf, I thought that was a good place to find out...

Ben,
Oh, sure.....blame it on the rear struts

Give me a call about the struts (seriously!)

I did the right thing and notified the proper people of the 'error'. my proper place was 4th place in HS.

I did have some fun with the locals that will never go to the web site, OR the airport. The paper may or may not run a 'RETRACTION', But it sure looked good in print!, I guess I have to make it happen for real.

Not so sure you did the right thing. It was their responsiblity to find the error. I just didn't think you were 10 sec ahead on that run esp since the timers went down but was willing to give ya the benefit of the doubt as I know a XT can do it in proper trim. It was great to meet ya and thanks for the high life!

PAX is for wimps

Dave,
Fair enough!

Guess I've got to get back to work and bring my raw times down even more!

You do realize that you already beat my raw time???

Anyone have an idea where I could pick up a cheap new or used M90/M95 helmet? If I can't find one by the Subaru Challenge Meet, Bill (SVXRide)promised to let me borrow his old one. However, I'll be autoxing a lot more often in the future and need to add one of my own...

Thanx.
