Dumbshit, AX saga, 06/04/06, Poland Options

[J P Stein]

Since nobody else wrote about their AX experience at the ORPCA AX this last
sunday, I guess it's up to me.

I got up at Odark:30 and it was rainin'.....sigh....but I gotta haul the trailer & set the course up (with some help from my friends), so off we go leaving the shitbox warm & dry in the shop. That was about the last smart thing that I did that day.

It quit raining befre I got to PIR and about 8ish the sun actually came out & started drying things off a bit....ya'll know where this in going, right? Sure, off we go to get the effin' car....

Brit & I were in the second run grope. The course was drying nicely as the first group ran.......but there were clouds to the West coming our way.
Brit was first out in our group as the weather closed in and got the fast run to that point. It was raining lightly by the time I saddled up.Humm...now I remember why they call them slicks. Halfway thru the run, the clouds opened up.....I hab no top, windshield wipers or other modern conveniences, ya know.....and it's coming down like a cow pissing on a flat rock....a regular frog strangler....so I slither around to a very slow time taking time to hit a cone....I'm coming to the finish when I realise that when I slow down I'm really gonna get wet, so I did and I did.

PDX A/X LAST WEEKEND

It rained on the second run group........ hard. (Badass rainy smilie here)

Good 914 turn out. Trevor, JP, Brit, Jim Chambers, Cassidy Bolger and his new 914 from Camp 914, Pamela and I. No pics this time.

Here is scan of the course:






So, we ran with slicks in the rain. Actually, my right foot control was better this weekend. I'm still really trippin' on the 3.2 power, hard to let off the gas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Only one 360 this last weekend. Course was really tight, lots of push, .....slow down dumb shit! Rode with Brittain in the little "65 HP" 1.7, he has, when JP put the shitbox away for a while, cause it was getting wet. He must have plowed 2 cones unintentional and 10 more just because. I was (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Brittain then rode with me, I'm trying to learn the fast line from him. Brittain is fast. He had TTOD until the local hot shoe ripped one off in the wet in a well prepared 911.

All in all, not a bad day, unless your JP. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
My other buddies played golf in the rain. I'd rather race. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
