Re: Project AutoX domination!
I did make it out unharmed. I just wanted to make sure I was 100% ok before I started really talking about it. After the workout of an AX weekend, I can say I'm fine. I was probably out of the car 10 seconds after it was stopped. The car itself is a total loss. Front right pushed in about 5", front left out 2-3". I slid/spun into the trees sideways. I did drive it home about 3 miles after I got pulled out of the ditch and pulled the fenders off the tires. I did try to drive it out, but since it was wet, and bouncing off revlimiter, there wasn't enough traction. Tow trucks are expensive, so I wanted to spend as little as possible. It was an interesting drive to say the least.
I wasn't sure about how I was going to drive this weekend. But apparently fast is the answer. I did take 1st and 3rd in the street tire index, set the fastest HS street tire time both days. A big thanks goes to Steve G. for letting me even drive his car after crashing mine.
Nice shiny EVO's are a little out of the price range. I'm not sure if I'm done with 3S's or not. I like them a lot, but I also like winning. And I KNOW the 3S will never be a class winning car (except localy in SM, till someone else tweaks a car better). But still tons of fun to drive around an AX course. I don't want to be wining in a car I hate, but losing in a car you love isn't exactly the most fun in the world.
