We had a good day at the autocross and will have a GREAT day tomorrow at the Shag Bark Rally park.

New battery tray is installed. AutoZone hold down is not wonderful, but decent, and waaaaaaay better than stock. Let's do this!

[g1teg]

Oil changed, 40+ lbs. pressure in tires. Let's do this!

Looks like a motocross course,I should feel at home. The pictures look better than I could have hoped.

I'm looking forward to Barber tomorrow, but....seeing these photos makes me want to jack up my 911 and go all RallyX!



Please come back with lots of pics of your cars in action, especially the Big Blue Pig haha! Have fun! I will get out to one of these asap!

the Lee's report;
Boy did we have good time.
Great site, with lots of potential, [grade it a little bit and it will be beautiful] to much and it will not be SCCA legal, like the race track in the trees!!!
But oh what a great site, thanks Sean, glad to have met you and your freinds, what fun.
The school was a good starting point for anybody wanting to see if they would like the sport and get a head start over just coming and competing, great job edwin and ron.
Honda's mini van!??!?? who would a thought, that thing is amazing, great build guys, can't wait to see what you do next.
LUNCH boy did lisa fix me a good lunch, and i ate all of it that i wanted too, mmmmm!!!
in fact it was healthy, made me feel good, something she fixed must have had some vitamins and and maybe even minerals in it, cause i really felt IRON fortified by the end of the day. Double-ly IRON fortified even.
great trip home, little traffic, couple mini issues, like; i got 13 tires on 1 car and 1 trailer, i check the pressure on 12 of them and air them up before the trip. [ the 13th one was a full size spare i keep in the trunk and had jacks and jack stands and tools on top of it when i was airing up the other 12, but low and behold i get to the event and one of my street tires has a bolt in it, no problem i have a full size spare, put it on and head home. Boy the car is pulling hard to the left, i bet i need an alignment [i got a life time alignment from firestone---highly recommend it to rallycross/daily drivers] Oh hey you know i haven't checked the air pressure on that tire since i mounted that thing and put it in the trunk a couple years ago. sure enough it was low on air, i found that out when pulled off at an exit with 2 gas stations. neither had a working air compressor, but the next exit did!!!
Back on the road again, running this corn oil in my gas tank has helped performance, but i do get worse mileage which means stopping more often to fill up, so i plan my trip and find the corn dispensors along my route, not every gas station sells corn oil...head back to spring hill where we stopped on the way down...11:30pm and krogers is open but the gas island is closed, no problem most if not every gas station except this one, you can still purchase gas on a credit card when the place is closed. BUT NOT here ;|
thank GOD i brought 5 gallons in a can with me from home.
pouring corn syrup into the tank at 11:30pm in Krogers parking lot after a LOOONG day in 40 degrees wearing a t-shirt....man i wish i was home, warm shower soft bed, trophy to put on my shelf, oh and need to re arrange my trophy shelf and make a new catagory -- Lisa's trophys!!!
we pick up the dog on the way home and get that longed for shower, smile and kiss the wife and go to sleep. And i didn't have to tell her the adventures of the day this time, she was part of them!!!
