A slower guy with a new Audi went into the woods at the same place.



At least three guys went into the woods this weekend.
No one was hurt, and you can always replace metal.

Only question I have is now that you got it up the hill do you think I was right in my thinking that despite the SVX being a poor choice for an autoxer outside of a local scene do you think it can be a podium finisher/ trophy winner in the hill climb circuit on a regular basis even against the newer stuff.

Thanks again Tom for completing my dream!

Thanks John.
Thr three diagonal red stripes are to indicate that the driver is a novice and must display them for the first three events.
We had to cover the familer "FP" stickers so that the class, "S2" stickers would be the only ones shown duringh the hill climb.

And apparently this is what beat me by .3 seconds to win our class
He must have had problems:



On second thought, what was I doing in a class with that thing? And this thing:

Re: The Racer gets to climb a hill, FINALLY!

Tom and Elazar,

To follow up on Ben's comments, it would appear that all you need to do now is add a freaking big wing on the back and a front splitter and you're podium bound!!

Congrats again both of you!!

Bill

You've made my week OT just getting it to this point, granted it wasn't a hard week to be the top of but still.
Ben,

Question for you! Does the cage in the Racer use mild steel DOM or chrome moly DOM? Trying to figure out which kit to order for the SVreX II.

Thanks.
Bill
