A few of the fast Cali people planning to come up to Packwood this year. I already see that Jeff in the "point and shoot sprite" is coming up. Looks like Andy is hauling the RX7 up. Should be an excellent show for you all. Think a few other fast drivers are planning to come up.

I don't see much competition in prepared classes yet but at least Brit will get a sense of where his car stands against national level mod cars and drivers. Great venue to debut his new car!

Hey Adam the fast Nissan/Solstice guy is running with Brit. He's a fast driver from what i hear just hope he doesn't break the 914 like other cars he has driven. Lol!

Still too far for me to drive to get my slow butt kicked! But should be fun for anyone up in the great northwest territories!

[ Cantilevers do suck butt compared to other tire and wheel combos you have access to.


Brit uses the cantis in front for a reason. The options are very limited.
The rears are not cantis & may grow wider in the near future.

Go back to the sidelines JP ...youre out of date. Plenty of options that are run with much success. Honestly a6 is a better choice than those pieces of sheet. Hamilton crew learned that quickly. Dang man they run 335 rears and 275 fonts now and don't have half the power of Brits car.

While Brit will kick booty in XP at NT just watch fast emod cars eat him alive. He needs a better tire setup if he is serious.

Keisel eats everybody alive....and that is about the extent of your AX knowlegde.

The success of your latest "great white dope" of an AX car shows that....is it out of the shop yet? The OS Geico LSD packed it in, eh? Must be time for another car.

Speaking of getting eaten alive, there is enough BSP competition entered now at Packwood that DFL is your best hope.....but just maybe you could finish closer that 7 seconds behind in class.

You are now & always have been a freaking joke. Gin up some interest in finding someone that will disagree with that.

Actually OS G LSD wasn't the problem. The issue was related to long heat inducing track sessions not ax. After inspection by OSG everything was determined to be Ok. Just some minor tuning and use of their magic sauce will fix the problem. I have finned diff cover now to help as well. Damn it's hard to break anything at ax and I have yet to really break anything at parking lot shuffle, but you seem to not have trouble breaking stuff all the time? And the Z has been running fine? Just ask the GGR and LPR Porsche guys how slow my 3500 lb whale of a car is JP. He he he. It has taken some time for me to learn how to drive a front engine rear drive car after all these years in low power mid engine and FWD cars. It takes a very different technique. But I'm getting faster.

You and I both knew my entry in San Diego was not going to be competitive. I had nearly zero seat time in that car and shocks had been installed a week before the event. It had zero SP weight reduction efforts as well. And stock power plant didn't have a chance against well developed Berry EVO. Now according to you I'd need at least of couple years before my car would be competitive so I'm right on track! I mean after 10 years your 914 still isn't nationally competitive after how many thousands of dollars? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Yeah based on that fast BSP crowd I m going to skip pack wood. Maybe a Z Car only ax in Southern Oregon in middle of frinken no where would be a better venue for me? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

And no victory fist pumps from Brit unless he is within two seconds of Emod Fast times as he is running in XP group of missfit toys. Heck i could slap XP on my car and give him and Adam more competition. He should man up and run emod rather than go for tires. Hell I'll buy him a tire if he runs E mod!

Hey keep an eye on pro solo in CO. You might see phat bastard show it's tail to a few cars.

It is exciting to see Brits car getting closer and the FP teener in the South doing well! I m really excited to see those two cars head to Nationals! And to see my Boxster go there is especially fun for me!

Now come closer so I can give you a big bear hug (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
