I know a few people off here went there. Fun time got in 6 runs + 2 fun runs. Finished 5th in novice in the turblo probe. Was quite happy with that, and had a couple of shitty drifting cone killing runs on the fun runs. :tup: ---

yea it survived and I only lost a piece of cooling tin on the Motor (That was not fastened with the proper ammount of screws) … which reminds me… Please anyone that was at the event read the note. It was definatly a fun drive… The lack of PS didn’t hurt me 1 bit because the wheel is 3 turns lock to lock… so I was able to drive with only 1/2 wheel steering input. With it’s Roaring 70-75HP the back end was drift happy, but it was really only snapping straight, so I tried to use it to my advantage. I was happy w/ my times… I could have done better (but isn’t that only the time) but I hit my goal for the day, along w/ having fun, as well as learning how to drive a MR car, because all my experence is FF notice / Alert. If anyone has the L shaped piece of sheet metal that fell off my car, or knows where it went please lemme know. as I’d ---

I think it became FUNNER as the rain came down 🙂 Potenzas suck hard in the wet. 2nd in novice, fastest run (53.165) was my second run :tdown: due to the rain, although I ran mid 53’s as the course got wet and my best run should have been one of the later runs if it were dry. btw, anyone have pics or vid? ---

There will also be an FLR event on August 7th at MCC. It is a smallish lot, but a pretty good surface with no light poles. The courses tend to be “pick your line” type of courses there with very little in the way of slaloms.
