This event was put together pretty quickly (just under a month) and the course was a bit rough. There were a couple cars that failed to finish the day. One with engine proplems, one busted radiator, and one bead popped loose.
The busted radiator was in a car that had been bought for $100, at a salvage yard.
Engine problem was pretty clear to everyone before the event started, so it wasn't a big surprise.
The bead popping was on a subie, and really needed a bit more PSI to begin with.
I gotta say, after having run this event, I will be doing more in the future, but it's understood that the piece of land used yesterday was too rough for future use.
Even at that, this car didn't bottom out any harder than my street car did on the highway, before I converted to GC coilovers. Heck, the rear bumpstops don't even appear to have seen much action. The front's did, but with over 200K miles on stock springs, they're a bit saggy.
Here's a teaser video from the action, just ignore the part where I take out a couple cones in the ol' primer SE......
Our local videographer was on hand for the day, and hasn't finished the final film.
