I looked up the Tour results for Houston.
Looks like Joe brought a knife to a gunfight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
It'll prolly look about the same as when I go to the Tour event up at Packwood
in August. Tour events have tough crowds.

Pretty big pond as JP likes to say.
Friday practice was a good indication of where we stood. The highly prepped turbo charged 3 rotor RX-7 with an engine management system worth more than my whole car stomped a full 1.2 seconds on us on a 25 second practice course. Then they blew up the transmission.
Leaving only the ex- BP national Champions in a 6 figure Z06 Vette of Stan Whitney and Su Brude. and an M3 with an LS1 in it.

Yea we brought a knife and a pretty sharp one in fact.

So we spent Friday fixing the push and learning to go REALLY fast.
Saturday competition was an awesome course that left us stunned. Car was flawless but we were still getting used to the very fast very very fast course. If Hassan could have put one good run down saturday we would have been in the trophies Sunday.

Sunday we brought out A game and Hassan had the 2nd fastest time in XP less than a second behind the ZO6. I however was not able to even come close to that crazy crap.


Oh and I tipped the scales at 1743 lbs. with a 1/4 tank of gas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

We finished 4th and 5th in X prepared which is no joke any more.

Met Chris and his dad from Houston Chris raced his Zambezi green 74 2.0 D jet car in DSP. His dad brought his very nice 70 914 6. Both of thier cars were nice with nearly no rust chips or dings.

Sweet! Sounds like you guyz are making a great showing, all things considered. As soon as they institute a $$$ handicap, all the results of 914 vs. big dollar car races will show the 914 way out front. I beat some $40,000+ P-cars this weekend at the PCA AX, feels great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

What motor was in there? Was the wing doin its thing?

Wing was doing it's thing as speeds were around high 50's in some spots.
Houston site is a rare and wierd bird. there are several large rolling humps in the parking lot.
so several places you were turning off camber and braking and turning over the crest. Not that I am complaining as the course was designed by Rich Johnson (read very good)

still to old hopped up 2.0L
