Jon posted pictures from the rallcross/Mud Bog :-) event. The rain sort of changed how the event went.... It looked like a mess, but a fun one....

Not sure why they bothered with numbers on the sides of the cars, after one run you couldn't see them from all the mud on the sides.

I also didn't break nearly hard enough I was worried about skidding but never did. On the big track at VIR I can get the tires to rub on VERY hard tight turns but It never rubbed once the entire weekend, so I know there was a lot of speed left.
Cars were pitted against cars of the same manufacturer There was only one other mazda there I think I beat him by about 5 seconds he was running a basicly stock MX6 I think he actually got a few dry runs in though.
A win is a win, I won first place. We had the option of letting Tarzan Yamada drive our cars with us in it or out of it, needless to say I declined both.
I did however take them up on a ride in his cyber evo. If you have never seen the cyber evo, it is a fully preped right hand drive race car sporting over 700 hp.
I wish could put into words how it felt. The only thing I could compare it to would be a ride at an amusement park ther are constant G forces from the front and to the sides. It was just incredable. The evo would slide just a bit and then take off like a rocket.

as for my piping maybe chris can do it if he has the time i already know he has a lot to do on his plate so who knows.
also does anyone know where i can get brand new flash to pass lenses? i cant use any of the ones i have there broke or just to bad of a shape to use it at all.....

That is my old house in the background of your last picture. I used to live in the house next to the lighthouse when I was about 5 years old. My dad was in the Coast Guard and stationed there. I painted the front of the house from the windows down with gray paint that was intended for the porch.... Needless to say I got in serous trouble....

you can peek at the clutch through the square hole. You just have to take of 4 bolts to take the cover off and you will be able to see the assembly, you just need someone to step on the clutch to see what its doing.
