Update and stuff

May 10, 2009 9:48 pm

Sorry - we haven’t been very good at updating the blog since almost everyone gets the news from the emails but we are really going to try now. (Seriously we are!). Since I got back from China we have done some significant changes/updates to the car to keep us competitive with new Super Production class. These include gearbox, suspension and brake upgrades as well as changes to the interior and the typically wiring changes. We will be doing a lot of testing over the next couple of months as well as competing in a select number of Rally America events and possibly a couple of Canadian events. The goal of all of this is for us to make a serious run in 2010.

I will get on Josh’s case to get some new pictures of the car posted.

Stay tune for more.

Day 0 - Lake Superior Performance Rally

October 28, 2007 6:51 am

So we are 0 for 2 at LSPR.

After finishing some shakedown runs on Thursday afternoon (thanks Marc Goldfarb for sitting in for Scott who hadn’t arrived yet) we took Dan Cohen, CEO of PressPass TV for a run through the shakedown stage.

We came into the small service area after the run and pulled up to the DRT Service truck. As I’m getting out of the car with my helmet Bill Grooms walks up and says “Do you hear that?” With my helmet on connected to the intercom I cant hear anything from engine noise to outside noise but as soon as I took my helmet off completely - I heard that distinct sound of a bad rap in the engine. Unfortunately we where down LSPR even before it started.

Day 2 at Rally Colorado

September 24, 2007 10:31 am

What a mess!

We woke up to a cold and rainy second day at the event. However Brian (team manager) made a great call and had a set of tires grooved (using a special tire iron the cut up some of the sipes or lugs on the tires which opens up the tread). Grooving tires helps to eliminate the amount of mud tha gets stuck in the tires but when conditions are dry those tires don’t have as much grip.

Anyways the day started as a muddy mess and just got worse. We ran Special Stage 15 twice and before we could head to next stage we where told that stage 16 and 17 where cancelled due to really bad road conditions. So we ended up running stage 15 (Middle Cog) two more times. As you can imagine having 30 or so rally cars run the same 7 mile stage 4 times in a row with rain and mud things got really squirrly at the end. Typically after running a stage a couple of times your times get faster - not in this case - times got slower because the conditions SUCKED! However they sucked for everyone equally.
