Good JP doesn't have a dog 'cause it would get kicked when he gets home. After working the course for 2 hours it started to rain just as his run group staged. He got in one respectable run and put 'ol sol back on the trailer. PCA runs in two weeks so he doesn't have to wait too long.
Staging:

I am so PISSED.

......deep breath here.....
Ok, near as I could tell the car is godder.
I can really feel the weight loss. The car jumps...even tho the traction was iffy. There was a lot more grip around the corners than I was using. The 300lb springs are not harsh at all.....thas about all I lernt in one run. I'm gonna try again tomorrow....iff'n the sun is out....not bloddy likely.

Lotta people said nice things about the car & were lookin' forward to seein' it run. Later they said they'd like to see it run in the dry.....Me too!

I was running the time cards when both were racing and coming out of the figure 8 Gary was locking up his brakes! That thread about stock brakes not working well simply ain't true. BTW Gary, you should've taken your fourth run...seat time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) J P, the rain got worse and there was more drifting than turning (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Toby, almost met ya today. After your run group #3 Jetta parked beside my wife and I sitting in our white 928. I was taking the action pics of JP and Gary standing right beside the board as you were posting times. Bring your 914 out to the PCA event on the 5th (even the Jetta would be welcome, but not as much).
