Notice in the last pic how Brad cunningly modified the car to reduce weight...

Another.

What do the doors hang from? Why does it even have doors? Yes, I said, "it."

I think "it" is kinda cool...but why is the fuel cell mounted up so high? And if it's an autox car (which it seems to be) then why not just use a tiny little autox cell. Things that make ya go hmmm.

Brad had a very minor off track excursion... the spoiler was already prety much toast when we picked up the car.
Driving it in and out of the trailer a couple of times didn't help it get any better either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

cheers,

Jeroen

Luckily Scott buys those spoilers like Kleenex (for boneheads like me who can take one out at 0.5 MPH).

Mike, how did the white car do?

I'm waiting for the results to be posted to see if anyone else ran in the class Bi

I'm pretty sure I was the only one in that class on Saturday and I did not run today.


How did the car do?? Okay I guess, those mud and snow 60 series tires sure wallow alot on these rims of mine.

I found out today that the rear springs are 50 inch pound springs...that would explain why the ride is so comfortable in my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So with such soft springs in the back and no swaybar, I was dragging my door handles on the ground.

My best time was 43.9xx and I think Brad and Jeroen had been turning mid to low 40.xxx's

Fun course, i liked it.

Brad was talking to the 912 builder, so he probably knows more. I think that it is built with the Virginia City hillclimb in mind and that requires all the lights, including side marker lights to be intact and working.

It kind of looked like somebody had gone around the car with a sawzall and simply removed the bottom four inches! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It had some severe missfires, but they left early so it didn't get fixed unfortunately. It would probably have been really fast otherwise

Brad,
Tell us more about the 912 from outerspace. What is up with the cell up under the driver's nose?

Man, that course looked like a ton of fun but only 40-45 seconds long? Was it a 2nd-3rd gear course? I dig the picture of the Lamb! Too bad!
