But, the second run group got in 4 dry runs.....glad I was there (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Dicked meself outta TTOD with cones. Think I still got second with the cone run. Let a young fella (about everyone to me) make a couuple fun run passes. Matched my time with his first run and beat me by 2 sec on his second (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) I tole him "No more of that shit....mistreating my car like that (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Got a bit carried away on one run and into some serious wheel hop at the start when it came on the bump in first......didn't break anything, but I ain't doing that again till I get it figured out....any advice? Trevor (rough rider) finally got out with his 6er.....and was grinning like the Cheshire cat. Oh....yeah....then it rained like a cow pissin' on a flat rock. Bruce has the pics....so doan ak me |

I was there giving my Squareback a taste of asphault (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) in the first run, in the RAIN (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) With old street tires and lot's of wheel spin I got second...to last (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Okay, okay, she's makes a better 1/4-mile car...
It was inspirational to see the various Porsches racing about, especially those that were there to PUSH their cars (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) I was radio/flag for station #3 so I got to see the whole course. One thing I noticed - and surprised myself - was that I think I actually like the look of the 914 with the vinyl trim on the sails! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) On my first 914 I removed the sail vinyl (it was peeling off, anyway) and liked the look. However, seeing the cars driving about from a distance (Jim's & J.P.'s) they looked taller. There was another 914 with the sail trim and targa on and it shrunk the height of the car. I just figured that w/o the sail vinyl is the look that I liked so it surprised me when the car looked shorter in black appearance trim (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) So guess what? I'm going to put the appearance trim back on my car AND I'm also going to cover the A-pillars. Yes, the whole top of the car needs to be black to "shrink" the top. Much like what Porsche was thinking when they decided to make the rockers black to "shrink" the height of the car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Whoda thunk that watching a couple cars racing could change someone's opinion?
