Go Calvin! When I saw your first qualifying runs, I knew that you were in the running, and though it's impossible to predict what will happen in tandem, I knew you'd be up there. Way to go and represent for Norcal!
JR too was going crazy, and the runs vs. Hubinette were about the craziest thing ever. Totally awesome.
ROSS PETTY wins the gangsta of the event award for his runs that were just...The most gangsta. He is also owed a "Get a One More Time for Free" card for the next event to present to them when he needs a one-more time. Because that was wack, vs. Rhys that he didn't get at least that, or even the win.
John Yim! Another awesome Corolla driver, totally great. #1 qualifier too.
And of course there are way more to list. I was really impressed with everyone's runs in fact, everybody is getting so much better!
We tried to run, pulling an all nighter with a lot of help to swap the differential, transmission, and suspension from Gaylord Garcia's car into Alex Pfeiffer's old coupe (full cage). Then on the starting line at the event the water pump seized and shearead off the pully, and fan...also cracked and sent all our coolant into the staging lane. So we were done for the weekend before Gaylord could even take a practice run....Next time!Comment

Yeah.. CALVIN KICKED *Censored**Censored**Censored*! Tanner just needed to do a conservative run but tried to pass, ended up jumping the berm which meant 0 points.. so the 1 more time, Calvin took it. Awesome runs..Comment

really? what part did you think was unorganized?Originally posted by illegalgarage
I didn't deal with anything related to the car show or vendor roll in (i know that's usually pretty hectic), but everything for media and the race side of things was pretty close to flawless.
My only complaint is that I didn't have sunscreen on Friday. That, and I wish I could have shot from more than one of the photo pods at once. But my super human powers havent kicked in just yet... maybe by FD Irwindale...Comment

We installed a new belt tensioner, and the stronger force caused us to break power steering pulleys, pumps, and some mounting brackets. During the competition we lost the belt (no power steering - which you need with the beast). The second time it cut out, maybe fuel related (we were so busy doing steering stuff that we didn't top off the gasanyone know what was wrong with bubba drifts car....eerrrrrr....truck yeah you know, what happened he was doing good then he would just run off the track??
) At least people should stop whinning about us being slow after watching our runs
