Do you mean blown as in turbo or did Mike blow his motor up?

That’s what it looks like. In the process of going from 2nd to 3rd, he managed to find 1st instead.
Damn, he skunked it… 
Sounds like everyone had fun.
Keep your head up Zong, it’s not as bad as it looked. You’ll be back in no time.
Was a fun time indeed, at least with the damage done to the STI it didn’t look horribly bad. Hope to see it back soon. :tup:
yup it sounded great. tho i didnt get to watch it much

What? There was a Ferrari 355 there?
[/quote]
yea, but it didn’t seem like he ran too much. it also seemed like he was going rather easy on it, which when you think about it, isn’t all that surprising.
Ferrari ran 2 runs, with his fastest being a 56+1
Ahhh, nice picture of me in the staging lanes.
:tup:
Best runs for me were 51.4xx + 1 and 51.9xxx clean.
I wanted to break into the 40s, but didn’t have it.

Ahahahaha! At that exact moment I was saying to Chris that I really hoped you were just taking a picture of the front of the vehicle and not us too.
Apologies to the course-workers who I put in danger and also for holding up the race.
I was on a new setup and got too comfortable in the first 2 runs and wanted to push harder. I came into the last slalom quite fast and the back end broke loose, pointing my nose directly at the curb and some course workers behind it @ maybe 30 mph. I had a moment to decide either to hit it head-on and jump the curb or to pull it sideways, so I pulled it sideways hoping I wouldn’t go over the curb and so the back corner of the car would take most of the impact. Some people told me afterwards that there were a few others who had close calls at that location as well.
Thanks for everyone that helped push my car off the course, and the help afterwards:
esp. Jarrod, Jim T, Paul, soloIIscoob, Jim P, FuzzyDevin, Carnut, Nick, the safety stewards.

Had you been checking your pressures before and after each run? It’s something easy to forget, and going from morning to afternoon and heat soak from the brakes… The new set-up will change on you if you don’t keep on eye on the most important variable.
