My co-driver bailed on me for this weekend and I traveled all the way down from Oregon. I drive a highly modified FP class 914/6 with lots of goodies and fresh rubber. If you are interested, please call my cell. 503-330-4908. I am driving from LA to San Diego today and will be there later this afternoon.

Here is a good picture from Packwood NT 2007.
OK AX heroes, here's your chance for 15 minutes of fame.
This here is a no bullshit quick AXer. Only 2 speeds in the trans so you won't get confused. The right pedal may cause some problems tho.
I see you lookin', Andy, go for it.
Thanks for all who expressed interest. The ride will go to BMXerror (Mark). He will have a blast. The weather is great down here and the car should stick very well!
BTW Andy, for SCCA a 2-driver car is essential for those on R-tires. Look at the majority of SCCA regional, divisional, and national results and I bet you will not find many single driver winners.
-Britain
Big thanks to Britain for the opportunity. I'm a bit nervous. I've been AXing about a year. Never run Nationals. Never run R-Compounds. And I've been sick most of the week (kinda-sorta over it). However, Britain knows all this and is still willing to put me in the driver's seat. I'll take it! Wish us luck, guys.

Just be confident Mark. Super cool opportunity. Oh, and don't you dare wear Brit's helmet without some sort of special skin or he will freak out about your potential head sweat potentially touching his helmet. (story at 11)
How'd you guys do .............. ?????????????? I quess I'll do some digging.
I wish I had seen this sooner
I had a fun day dodging cones with NorCal PCA folks, watched AndrewB and the Hamilton 914 dominate on his new 275/35 A6s.

for all of you that don't know
Evan is Grantsfo's co driver...they finished #1 and #4 on day one in the Phat Bastard Boxster.....not bad for a 2.5L water pumper
Brit in #3.
Lets see how it goes on day 2
Day one was on about 4 hours sleep for both of us. The clutch went out Friday and we had to head over to Sean's shop to find the issue. Bottom line, it was deep fried multiple ways due to a funky assembly of a funky combination of parts. Brit can elaborate if he wishes. Britain commissioned Wevo to send a new clutch and it didn't get picked up from the airport 'til 10:30ish. So we got to bed at about 2am and had to be back at the track at 7ish. So special thanks to Sean. We couldn't have done it without you, bud.
Sunday was more of the same. Aaron was way out front, Evan was second, Brit third, I think Grant 4th and Beverly fifth, and me trailing WAY back in last place with all kinds of cone penalties. Britain's POOR splitter.
Yes, the competition was tough. I drove reasonably fast, but couldn't keep it clean. I didn't have a clean run all weekend. However, I did my best to get the tires warm for Britain with several spins and powerslides! I finished dead last due to all the coneage. I can't make any excuses for that. It's just a rut that I've been in for my past few events, and this weekend was no different.
All in all, if both of us drove perfectly, I'm still not sure we could've caught Aaron. I run with him a lot, and not only is he a fast driver with a well prepared car, he was ON this weekend. I had tons of fun and am eternally grateful to Britain for the opportunity and his patience and kindness all weekend. I know it was a tough one for him, but he never took it out on me. Great car. Great guy. It was an honor to drive with you.
Mark D.
That car should be a blast to drive. Very cool of Britain to let you drive. Too bad the 914 got shown up by the Boxster Those things are just down right fast.
Good luck to you this year Britain
Sure sounded like fun.
