I put a 'beer fridge', recliner, VCR, sterio reciever, coffee pot, EZ bake oven, wood burner, computer and a lot of my clothes in my 'playhouse'. I even have room for some CARS!

The wife threatened to lock me out of the house. I said, " What's your POINT????"

My biggest fear is that she will figure out which breakers turn 'off' my world. Then I would have to install a 'sub-feed' from the 4 bay to 'power up' Huckleberry's place. (seperate meters)

I'll be making the 8 hour drive to ATL this Friday morning for the the SE Division Championship event. I'm told the parking lot at the Atlanta Motor Speedway has grippy asphalt and is quite VAST making it a great venue for fast, national style courses.

Did some light maintenance on the car yesterday and drained and refilled my rear diff with 75W90 Mobil 1 synthetic.

Here's hoping I 'look ahead and be smooth' in Atlanta.

May the cone magnets be weak and the buttface Imp run fast!

I can toast to that!

Glad I went for the experience, but wish I could have driven better. I was 4th out of 5 after day 1, and finished 5th out of 5 by the end of Day 2. All four of my tires are now corded...

D-stock was won by Danny Carroll who at Nationals finished 8th in DS in '06, and 14th in '07.

D-Stock Results:
'D Stock' - Total Entries: 5 Trophies: 2 Day Times Total
1T 121 Danny Carroll 2000 Acura Integra Type R Black 92.657
2T 21 David Carroll 2000 Acura Integra Type R Black 95.763
3 34 Karen Kraus 2006 Subaru Impreza Wrx Black 96.574
4 28 William Gravely 2003 Bmw 330I Zhp Red 98.878
5 70 Chike Dellimore 2006 Subaru Wrx Grey 98.949

Summary:
5th out of 5 in DS
55 out of 108 in PAX

I finished the '07 season ranked 4th in DS for the entire South East Division.

P.S. In about 2 weeks I'll know if the Cooper S will be moved to DS. If the move happens, I'll be trading in the WRX and moving onto another car & class. I won't be in a Subaru...nor any rally car for that matter.

Chiketkd · #**186** 11-12-2007, 08:15 AM

I've decided to move on from the WRX irregardless of whether the Cooper S moves into DS or not. I doubt I'll start a 2008 autocross blog thread as I will no longer be competing in a Subaru. My car is almost back to stock and in 2 weeks will be traded in for my new car.

I'll check in from time to time, but I probably won't be on the Network as much. I have a dedicated co-driver for the entire 2008 season, so I'll be able to prep my new car fully from the get-go.

Take care folks and God Bless.

Not trying to be secretive, but a few members on here have already told me I'll get no Xmas cookies if I get one.

Remember, this isn't a rally car (i.e. not Mitsu or Subaru), and it's rwd...it also can seat more than 2 people (so not a miata, 350Z or S2000). The package I'm getting will have HID headlights.

I just got off the phone with my sales guy, and before the end of today I'll know when she'll be arriving on the car transporter.

Remember Harry Chike has now reached what GrassRoots Motorsports would call a car hoar. He'll drive, buy anythiing else so long as its labled as the car of choice around cones. He'd buy a Yugo and love it if the "experts" told him to.

Don't expect too much when the inital embarrassment he's feeling about posting it here wears off

I'm fairly certain though it'll be a better autoxer than a 15 year old Impreza platform.

OK, let the guessing begin on what Chike the Car Ho will drive in 2008!

Remember the specs gang-RWD, available NOW, NOT a two seater, HID's available

Big three-
Mustang-RWD-yes, HID's-model dependant-Shelby is "under-classed" in F Stock. Maybe???
Corvette-RWD yes, 2 seater
Charger-RWD yes, otherwise YIKES
GM-Sky/Solstice-2 seaters

New domestics-BMW-135 or 335, Mercedes-NAH, Toyota-does Toyota offer a performance car these days???, Honda-Civic, S2000 neither meets the goals, Nissan-350Z-NO, G35?

Others-Hyundai, Porsche, Ferrari (gotta dream big), who knows???

As Chike stated, it's new and ready to roll. Let's see where this goes.

Ford GT?!?!

GRM doesn't influence my buying decisions - but they do have good reviews!

Oh, and yes...it does handle much better than a 15yr old Impreza platform. However, it's not faster than my current car in a straight line.

Nice. I'll keep the suspense going - I also would like to see where this goes.

I'd have to as well - I wouldn't have a place to live anymore!

Chike,
