So this weekend was full of AXing up here in the Pacific NW. My wife went with me and was our photographer for us. Though she is not trained very well with my D200 she did a fair job for us

In the first set we have some of our friends from the North and fellow World members.

One more from Canada

Next we have a few fellow members that didn't drive or didn't get any pictures of them on course.

First we have Marc... Kelty
Then we have Rocky.. Tim
Then we have Dave.... The owner of Triad

Then we have Jerry Hunt driving his dad's Raby Rocket.

Steve Barns in his blue and orange

Jon, tell your wife the photos are great. How did you end up doing today? Lots of teeners there.

And here we have Troy... messix showing us why it is good to have sway bars and some suspension. I swear this cars was on two wheels a few times.

Then we have the beautiful original 6 owned and driven by Mike Crandall.... 6freak

and last a few of me

I won my class by 2.5 seconds on Saturday, and today at the SCCA event I was in second due to indexing Because I put a 2.4l in there I was indexed in F Prepaired That's with some insane cars in that index. I was 2 tenths of a turbo civic that won Nationals last year.

Nice!!!!!!!!!

yeah i know i need to install the front sway bar!

but i still finished 2nd behind a 944 by a 1/10th and change, i know if i wasn't trying to try to catch the guy who was mis-classed and running 53 and change [i was thinking there was no way i was getting beat that bad] , i would have ran cleaner and maybe a 56 or so. i had that thing hanging all out third gear and all.

Yeah you need to get the bar in there before you flip yourself. I gave that guy a ride in my car today and he was loving it. Yeah, he should have never driven in the stock class, but they come down only once a year and he had no idea his car was in Mod.

bmsp is a great venue. nice track and a beautiful setting.

Best line of the weekend "Troy you got 1 cone with your mirror" (rim shot). Thanks Mike that was priceless.

First run monday, blew a valve cover gasket....I like to call it "Rust Proofing"

Thanks for the pics Jon. I was wondering how much body roll I had. Need bigger front torsion bars, tail happy all weekend

You're welcome Next time you're down I hope to see your car with more power and bigger torsion bars

All in all is was a good day for me. and Jon thank your wife for getting behing the lens.Lets do it again soon

It seems unfair to run against the Canadian cars since they are using "Imperial" gasoline...




(Oops, I'm speaking of the gallons, not the brand...)

Our gas is Metric. Much easier for the European engines to burn.

And for us to get screwed on the price $1.36 per liter, about 5.20 a gallon for 87 octane

Dont know for sure but i think all us Washington boys pretty much spanked um.so yes we want them back.. lol..it was just good to see so many 914`s play`n on the same strip of asphalt.You Canada folks are welcome anytime! nice to meet you all

Our SAE gas is much harder on the German engines than the Metric gas. My understanding is that it doesn't quite fit correctly in the metric fittings. And I understand the Europeans are getting almost twice the gas mileage we are (up to 50 Kilometers per Gallon!) And don't try to boggle us with your voodoo math. $1.36 sounds much better than the $4.05 we're paying!

I just wanted to clear up any confusion about these issues. Besides, if you don't ask, how are you ever going to learn?

The results STILL aren't up . I'll post them as soon as they are though .

still no results posted? wft!

give tim a call and

Tim doesn't have anything to do with it. It is Jodi Fordahl that has the info and she is most likely busy with Greg and the National road races he was/ is doing. Generally takes a week or so for them to post. I keep checking every day though.

The results are up
