Nope would not be a 914 it is my oil cooler seals again, fixed them, or so I thought (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) gotta drop the engine again. I tried it in the car method once did not fix it, well I guess neither did the out of car method so I just a bad oil leak fixer.

Mike Jr. Johnson instructor no. 1 now partial owner of Evolution. Great guy, taught me a ton. We had some great laughs together, and I learned the fast way through a slalom because of him. I would start out to hard, and have to back off at the end. I tend to be aggressive, yet very smooth. Hard to explain. But if I would not attack so hard I could continue to roll on the throttle and nail the slalom. He knew I had it once I was leaving a soot trail all the way to the next corner.

Jerry Onks instructor no 2. - can't say enough about Jerry he is a lot like me a little more laid back personality wise, yet he can drive the piss out of a car. Dude (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Extremely supportive, last two runs I made he stood there and clapped as I cam off. Told me I had nailed it!!! What was even better was I can now nail runs with in .002 of each other. Huge gain in constancy.

Danny Popp - was the other instructor on my side. He is local, I can have access to him just by walking over. Hung out a little at the end, and Danny came over and told me a I drove the piss out of that car to get in the 30/ high 29s. And he loved the fact that I could leave a pile of soot on the course. Thought it might be to my advantage to run it at nationals. The guy behind me would not stand a chance. Never find traction with the particulate I was laying down. Now if only I could guarantee I got first run each event. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I did wig a lady out she was freaked that my car would hike its inner rear wheel. 3 -4 inches. I guy who drove a Miata was amazed that I could do it and have it up long enough that it would stop spinning. We had a 320 degree turn at the end of the slalom that was fun. Fly out break hard, set up the turn, about mid way thru, lift just enough to get the nose to tuck back into the turn and get a back on it. Fly through some cones , nail a pivot cone to the left, go through a short sweeper, then a chicago box, out to another pivot cone and nail the finish. Course was short and technical, a great amount of fun.
