No video from the impreza but I do have some video from the RX-7.

Run 4 morning

Run 4 afternoon

You might have also seen my co-driver go a bit off course during his second run in the afternoon (about 57 seconds in)

Also results are up.

Wow, something was obvious wrong with those clocks when they were timing me... How the hell did I end up #2?!?!

Congrats on the win Shawn!!!!

BTW, what GPS (I saw the little guy one your dash when I was in the RX-7) are you all using? Thanks again for the ride in the RX-7! It's amazing the difference the rally tires make.... oh, and you're a hella good driver :)

Hope you all figure out what was wrong with DirtySnow! If you need help. let me know :)

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Hitting less cones than some other people would be my guess......

GPS details : http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showpos ... tcount=331 If you are an iPhone type person double check to make sure that GPS will work.

CEL went back off before we left. I'll toss on some plugs and wires anyway before the next event since I have no clue when they were changed.

Yeah that does sound kind of weird.
I'll go ahead and order up some plugs and wires once I figure out what ones to get and pull them and see since I have no clue when the last time they were changed.

lol, I'd say you were in one of the toughest classes, so no need for excuses! That freaking STI that took 1st place was INSANE.

Great seeing so many DCAWD peeps out there :)

I was just the co-driver in that one. I would have been more worried if I had been the driver.

Guy driving the other Rx7 in Moxnix's class who came in second was my kid bro-in-law whose Mazda drift truck has a build forum on here. Forgot to ask him today when I saw him if he was looking for a rally suspension for his truck now that he has tasted dirt.

I can't make the T&T (I don't think), but I'll be there with Suzie on the 22nd :)

BTW, you guys ever figure out what was the odd sound coming from your car? Bad spark plug? Loose spark plug?

I am going to be there with some pretty full cars.... :-D

So far we have 3 people registered in the RX-7. 4 people (including katie) that have expressed interest in the Impreza that I have oked and one more that expressed interest in the impreza that I am trying to convince that he wants to drive the RX-7 instead since the impreza looks full right now.

I will be there, with the Lancia. But mostly over on main track for the Jefferson 500 vintage racing. If it not too muddy, will drive it over.
