How's the bump/rut factor? Pulled the wheels off the rallycross car tonight to clean out the SSW deposits and see that I bent a rear rim. Not that that'll stop me, but if I'm going to bend wheels I'd rather do it to steels than alloys. :)

I've come up with a nasty flu, so the 328 won't be out this week. Probably for the best if AMP is as rough as it sounds, I do have to drive it to work!

AMP is also a very good spectator facility.

There is usually a bit of shelter, it's been known that coffee and cookies sometimes make it there as well. :) I cannot attest to whether that will be the case tomorrow, but it's worth the risk.

Joe and I will be up to test out our new S70. This should get interesting with a FWD tank.

The Matrix is going to take a break from RallyCross for a little while so that I can find all of the rattles and whatnot that have developed.

3hrs and some cold fingers on Monday and I found out why the Neon died and kept blowing fuses. Problem fixed and hopefully won't happen again.


What was the issue Dave?

The guys in the Focus aren't new to driving, though they are new to rally.

My 4th run, the only remotely clean one I had. It looks slow because... its slow. Lots and lots of ice and I was gun shy after spending too long extricating myself from the banks, trying to be more smooth even if it means more slow. Now if I could have just done this the first 3 runs. 8O

(Excuse the language at the beginning, I just watched it with sound for the first time. :) )



Anybody got any 195/60/15 snow tires? You can drive the car too! :) Also the TS is too quiet, need to take a screw driver to the muffler and make it sound like a Subaru!
