August 16-17 - Summer Sizzler Autocross (Cumberland Airport)

[green_eyed_lady]

To Tim, Melis, Ben, Bart, Ron, Larry & Rosie and anyone else who wanted to come but couldn't make it -- we missed you and we're sure you were there in spirit.

Good to see everyone again and meet some new folks. Thanks again to Tom and Di for hosting us all. Sorry I wasn't there for more time. But it's a good thing I took the XT6 home, it progressively got worse during the trip. By the time I got home I had to do 4k clutch drops to get going from a stop....

It also worked out better this way since I was able to bring the SVX down to Fla instead of the XT6.

See everyone again soon...

I can honestly say that I didn't reach the car's limits in the allotted runs either. Just think, if you had 100 runs and Dave had 100 runs in his poorly running stock XT6 you might be 2 seconds ahead. Then again, you probably would have driven into an airplane if you had that many runs!

.1 better than DAVE and you're whining about me not showing up? Obviously I'm not interested in wasting my time on a lightweight! Instead I'll send Hocrest with a Bone Stock XT6 and street tires to entertain your boy racer ambitions. Do your rockets fly that slow too!

Whine, whine, whine...

I'll be the first to admit I drove like crap on Saturday. I can come up with multiple reasons why, but I know better

Trust me, if Dave had been there on Sunday he would have been nowhere near .1 off of my time

Hopefully, we'll see you at the next meet

I still think Ben was there in spirit...

Making engine revving noises and skidding noises in the racer while we were racing

Ummm... How the heII are you getting me confused with Wally. He's the one who makes skidding noises.

Nuf I mean IF said!

Would've liked to have been there but needed to take the new camper out for a test run before our September vacation.

I've decided that either next year is the year to start hillclimbing or its time to pass the REAL racer on to someone who has the time and skill to pilot it. Obviously you flunked your preaudition!

Only 93 of the 350-some pics are up. Photobucket is being a @$#%$^$# . I'll try to get some more up sometime tonight.

Awesome pics Rebecca... the AI Servo on the D50 is pretty good .

My comments:

Holy crap could Bill's tires get any bigger?

What happened to the blue SVX?

Did you find yourself maxed out with the 70-300?

[downforlow]

my poor blue was totaled when some one decided to make a u turn through me a week ago.

I LOVE Bill's Tires!!! I sure as hell wish I could fit that rubber under my SVX for AutoX days Might actually be competative in SM here in North Carolina then

But you obviously haven't heard that those are only the 275 tires... He apparently has 295's I can't wait to see them

Jesus... That is quite a shocking photo you got of me

Rebecca,
Great pics!

Chris,

Yeah, I do believe the 295s will fit (trial fit while waiting for YT to show up for the R180 swap)
