Re: MAP Event @ BIR: Results!

Who was the asshat in the rust brown colored small old car? Was it a Toyota? He couldn't keep that thing going in a straight line and nearly took out a turbo'd Civic!

I'm also really surprised none of the drifters or autocrossers put their car into a concrete barricade yesterday! The Grimspeed drift Genesis coupe came REALLY close at one point.

The Puerto Ricans.... They always show up with slow, loud, 12A carb'd rotary powered old small RWD jap cars. Datsuns, Toyotas.

That BoostWerx Ford Probe was the first wheelie of the day, and as Kracka said seeing the Supra pogo down the track was cool!

It was awesome seeing Kiggly's car.

Saw Kiggly right after his last pass, he was kinda laughing about looking at the bottom of the Supra.

So why did it seem like there were alot of cars doing time trials and not so many for eliminations? Everyone broke down?

I was wondering about that also, it seemed like a lot of the AWD 1Gs disappeared when it came to eliminations.

Those damn short wheelbase rotaries are always going out of control. It's even worse when they turbo them and put some huge slicks on them. Then they bounce out of control on the line and then lose control halftrack.

Jim was Mr. Consistancy, Brad got lucky and just powered past him to win. Jim could have won a bracket class running 11.1s and getting the hole shot on everyone.

Brad went from running 12s and traps in the 120s at the start of Friday to high 10s and 140mph in the final. Amazingly it held together, besides the downpipe dragging on the ground when he pulled into the winner's circle.

I didn't run for the fact that I didn't feel like breaking anything for the ride home. Was a bit worried about my clutch dying on the track. Plus it was my first time out and was just out to do a couple time trials and hangout.
