Hi all.
Screw you all, just for the heck of it.
Everyone wants SR. Everyone wants 300+RWHP.
But it's all good, to each their own.
I doubt any of you even know who I am or what car I drove, but I had the white 240SX coupe with 5Zigen and a few other discreet logos on the car. License plate "SLOW S13"
Oh, and I make ~145RWHP with my KA and was able to drift the course.
Hmmmm.... one of these days I should hop in the Viper or the GTO or any other high HP car... and I want to see the top guys try to drift my car. HAHA that would about even the playing field.
But anyhow, for me personally it was a kick-*Censored**Censored**Censored* event because I was able to finish the course at least once, although not 100% perfect. I need more power, about 50RWHP or so would be perfect. I'm thinking either stock S14 SR for reliability or a high compression (12.1:1) KA. We'll see how the funds work out...
Oh, and just a bit of insider info for any of you that care...
Because of various problems it took me 12 hours to drive from L.A. to San Jose on Friday night. I got 30MPG on the way up. After the event I put my catalytic converter back on the car and drove 6 hours home to L.A. And got 27MPG on the way home. My friend Nadine called me psycho for actually driving home on 8 hours of sleep over a 72 hour period... but I made it home in one piece nevertheless.
And in my eyes I was champion for the day, simply because I went to Sonoma and accomplished every single one of my goals.
And one complaint: More than a few drivers (myself included) went out and drove in round 1 of qualifying under the assumption that both runs were being judged. We got our info from one of the Slipstream guys... and this miscommunication kind of screwed some people over. But what's done can't be changed... and it was still a bad-*Censored**Censored**Censored* weekend no matter the outcome.
