Enjoy. I just loaded it tonight. The car is back together again, but I think its just a tad bit off.... Looks mmk though. This is my V6 care autocross car. I might have to get the body on a rack before I autocross it though.

hmm... I had no idea they had SUPER DORIFTO!!! at Monroe Speedway...

interesting.
last time I saw anything there I believe was the cascade crew's trip to the Demo Derby ... or was it the 1/8th drags... one of the two.

I miss being up north.

Ouchie!

You are a drifting fool ain't cha? Glad that damage was minimal. Other than the wall it looks like fun.

Not that I've ever tried drifting, what were the circumstances? Not enough countersteer or throttle? Looks like she hooked up for one or the other. Looks like a blast though. Maybe when I get the 89 a little more power.

nice drifting up until that point, that is pretty cool.

Eh, it was the first run of the day and I had just got those rear tires. After that last turn, the back hooked unexpectadly and I didn't countersteer fast enough. Since I was already turned left for the corner, the car continued to rotate to the left (counterclockwise), sending me into the wall.

Unfortunately the camera guy didn't get the other two runs, which were way better. Especially since I was initiated on the first run...

The chassis seems to be fine. All the doors and windows shut right at least. I did notice that it looks alittle crooked from the back, but that might be my garage. Its no very level. I might put it on the alignment rack to get it back straight. I think the passenger side front might be a little high if anything. We'll see.

Next event is June 1st! Any CC people gonna show? I'll be there for sure, with a vengence. Crap, this means I only have this weekend to get going on the MORE POWER train. Polished TB, maybe clean up the intake a tad, and get that pesky IAT connected. Sheesh.

How is the sound on this, I dont have speakers here at work. Gonna have to remember to view this at home.

You tryed any weight reduction like we talked in email?

Stationary drift.... me likey! I'll show you how a V6 can do it! I can hit 2nd gear with mine!

Sound is good. Lots of tire screeching! You can even hear that I have to let off the gas a bit. I haven't tried weight reduction yet. Thats for this event. That and front alignment. And more power/go fast stuff.

So maybe saturday night or sunday morning.
