If not (or if so), here's some pics...painful tho they are.
Don't look at them all quickly without a barf bag close at hand. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Attached image(s)

We in Portland are "special". PIR is the only venue within 130 miles....one way.
I have seen 2 cars break their suspension here , a 911 & an RX3. Many local AXers won't run here, but this the spot for both SCCA & PCA. (tho Packwood is coming into play more & more) My ex-914 was built to run on the crap and has been airborne more than once.....I've suffered double vision from the shaking....but nothing has broken. I've never invited anyone here to play as even the relatively smooth courses are an embarrassment. This particular course was the designers attempt to put 5 pounds of shit in a 2 pound bag.( a 50+ sec course on a 40 sec tops venue, IMO) The biggest mistake was not running the course at competitive AX speeds prior to the event. A total redesign/set up would have been necessary. After the event had started and one run group had run without much problem, that option was a non-starter. The problem came as the faster guys of the 2nd run group got after it. The 3rd run group (the hot dogs) saw how to avoid the worst of it. |
