SW Divisional #3

[hancheyb]

Hard to get the story straight when it changes so often. My bad!

[Paul]

"Thanks so much" for pointing out the fact that we had fabricated a new strut bar to the majority of the STU class at the Divisional. We heard that conversation, and it was "so helpful".

Ever without blame, Paul "perfect" Magyar...

You didn't hear that conversation because you weren't there. I was asked directly about it the x-brace and I didn't lie.

[John in Houston]

Henry Lin and Ben Castillo!

If I remember correctly, Ben is the one that protested the X-brace at Arkansas... so he is well versed in checking for it

Results? STU? STX? BSP?

Oh, that is just hilarious then. He is SO SLOW no matter what he's driving.

[McCall]

Well, if you look at the results of each day it shows I made a big improvement as I learned how to drive an awd car.

Big thanks to Paul for letting me grab a co-drive. His car sure is fun to drive!

*EDIT -grammar/spelling

[hancheyb]

Trying to figure out the PAX thing. It showed me at top Touring PAX, but Tommy Pax'd better? I figured with his Sunday runs (in the wet), I'd be ahead anyway. Either way, Tommy totally kicked a$$. I hope he does well at Nationals! Just like GTR, he's always 2s ahead.

[Tommy R]

Are you sure it's top ST PAX and not just top ST raw time? I paxed quite well on day one (5th overall, I think), but due to the wet running on Sunday I fell back to 11th or so overall.

Oh, and thanks. I've actually now got a renewed interest in placing well at Nats......hopefully. BTW, John and Teucci, what do you think of this?

Pretty good pictures Tommy.

Corners 3 and 4 was our best view during Heat 3. It was funny on Day 1 watching McCall come in to our corner and McPlow! Fair, typical riding the back tires around all the corners. Paul, not McPlowing, but just needing to go a little quicker!! Hanchey was the class of the field in our section of the course. Car was under control and he wasn't having to catch it anywhere. The black Subie seemed pretty quick, what's different between it and Paul's?
Who was the chick in the black Evo on street tires? I thought I was going to have a Mike Lowe experience as she came spinning into our corner station!!

BTW, look at the last picture in Tommy's post, did anyone wonder why, as usual, Rich W is helping Lance Adams change his trailer tire but Tommy is found behind the camera?

[John in Houston]

John and Teucci, what do you think of this?

Looks good! Did Rich make those?

Assembled and packaged your plates Saturday. Just waiting on Teucci to ship them.

Ha! Thanks for the feeback, I think The black "Subie" had coil-overs, a turbo-back exhaust, and computer (no-boost increase ) tuning over Paul's. On Sunday I really felt I did that section much better. How did I compare to Hanchey/Fair and the black Subie that day?

[hancheyb]

I want some of those for Nationals.

Hey, I'm just there to put on a show... Which car was more fun to watch?!
