rallyx!

adil, joe, and i took the trip up to monticello to get our dirt fix. the rally beater is now officially broken in. what a shame because it was in near perfect condition!

our rally-prep comprised of some pimpy subaru groupN kevlar underbody protection, along with fresh pads, rotors, and brake fluid. that's it. the car came with fresh blizzaks which are now, uh, not so fresh.

the rallyny format is a somewhat unique.. unlike a typical scca rallyx, the course is fairly open encouraging lots of sideways action. no work required thanks to generous volunteers, and low entry count kept runcount high. we had 8 runs per driver and the rally beater held up until the very end.




joe ended his day early when one too many parts fell off his wrx, i placed 1st in class (4wd road) and adil rounded out the top 3.


here's our video.. some cool camera angles and some external vid

right foot on floor, turn, left foot feathers the brake, get sideways. can't wait until the next one!

DC ProSolo BSP Video

So we had another kick ass weekend with fantastic weather (for once). My brother shipped out his lipstick cam to me for this event so I shot a different view in each heat. Here's the video:

This vid is my attempt at editing several runs into one Left and one Right. Notice in the beginning how Kevin smokes me off the line, gotta love both of the 2-steps...sounds sick. Also take a peek at my front left tire on the side view...very crazy how much the tire deflects.

This video is a collection of my faster Left and Right side runs with no editing.

dc pro

yep, we're back from dc. jay and crew should post a recap. i will be soon. congrats to all the trophy winners! jay, kev, jan, jeff, mark, corey and adil and anyone else i missed. jay especially made holunfie proud with an 8th overall index time and BSP win. this is against the best in the country.

i think we also got a few more people hooked on prosolo!

i am not in good shape. after consecutive weeks of little sleep, a chilly 64 degree hotel room on friday, combined with the intense heat and schedule over the weekend, my body pretty much shut down by sunday and i couldn't even concentrate at the tree. it's summer and i think i have the flu! with a poor showing and crappy health, i still enjoyed our favorite event of the year.

despite feeling like total crap, i made the 5a wakeup today and hopped on my flight to rochester. i toughed out the 6 hr drive home in the rally vehicle. priorities!

more later
