Shes a fun one, wait till we get it out where it belongs. Its set up for road racing, I need to dial it in for Packer and corner weight it with him in there and a bunch of other stuff, but shes a runner. Loud, too. Wait till we take the muffler off of it also, we had one on there. Open header is even more brutal.

It turned decent times, I forget what exactly. On the 17th at Cloverleaf I'm going to have a go at it and see if I can do any better (not likely but its worth a try) but the fact of the matter is its not set up for autocross, and the manual rack in it is making it more difficult out there too. I also have to see how my Volvo will do, I doubt I'll do well I'm not a big autocrosser but should be fun trying to nose around with a fwd car pushing over 300hp on bald tires.

Packer took the muffler off for 3/27, that's why the thing was so insanely loud.

Maybe not the fastest car out there, but he was having a blast, which is all that matters IMHO

Yeah, I've "hired" an official scorekeeper from here on out, because it took me so long to get stuff done this past week. Some of you might know him, Dave from www.dominionmotorsports.net. So far he's written that Excel program that will take scores entered on event day and turn them into results instantaneously (meaning that-night results posting online, yaaaaay.) He's also investigating the possibility of interfacing the program from the timer directly (making a true "paperless" system), and exporting the results into an HTML file to be viewed by anyone. With any luck this will all be in place by 4/17 at Cloverleaf. Long story short, it'll remove the couple-day wait for someone like me to convert raw times on paper into actual results, then into HTML for web viewing.

Sorry again it took so long - like I said, we're planning to have results online THAT NIGHT for events from here forward, if that makes up for anything
