Wagon Pics:





I'm slowly getting used to the autotragic. I keep stomping the floor with my left foot. Luckily I won't be driving it that much. Black and aluminum trim interior is so much nicer than the grey / wood in our old one.

I forget and can't see, xi or i?

Car looks great!

[blefevre]

Looks good. I really hope you have good luck with that auto, that is the reason we sold ours. It started to act really funny.

XI. I hope it being an 03 will help. I think it's a non-GM unit. I honestly can't remember. The PO had the filter and fluid changed per Old School Mx Sched.

E30 motor going back together this weekend! Woot!

I will have more PPIHC pictures later but I wanted to share these right away. Word is that they are both okay.

Just talked with him, they're fine. Understandably disappointed, but fine.

Pike's Peak certainly isn't forgiving...

Paving the mountain was one of the worst ideas ever.

Dallenbach also had an off at 130mph, into a tree. Somehow walked away.

Damn, are they ok?

Yeah, it was amazing that everyone was okay with the amount of offs this year.

I agree with the paving, but they didn't really have a choice. They couldn't leave it dirt for one weekend a year for a race. I think the problem is that they are still allowing any type of car with only a few days of practice. While it is cool to have 1000hp beasts fly up there, they should seriously consider what cars are allowed or give them more practice on the track.

How did that happen to Val?

How did that happen to Val?

I'm not sure. When he drove up was raining/snowing near the top so I am guessing that was a factor.

Yah, Val was one of the very last people to go before they cut it off halfway. Watching the live timing, I saw his thrid stage time, but never a fourth and then they kept saying that there are 3 lost cars near the top. I had a bad feeling that he had gone off. Glad to see that they are ok, and his attitude towards moving on and rebuilding the car is refreshing.
