$2011 Challenge update thread

I am also very sad to announce:

Team Westside experienced a Train Horn Failure in-route home.

The beauty of a swap like this is that it is 95% self contained mostly from the donor car.....

Heh... It was running on 3 cylinders when I started & was down to 2 1/2, it seemed, on my last run. I just nicked a cone on the 45.0x run (that tiny steering wheel is hard to get used to!), so it would have placed higher...

Thx for letting me thrash the Monster Civic, gents. You get that thing running 100% & we'll get you vying for FTD in the AutoX

If they get that thing running 100%, the car could do some serious damage @ SCCA Nationals in SMF, methinks--lemme know if you want to give that a go...

Any vids of that thing out on course?

What does that mean?? Did something terrible happen, or am I clueless to the lingo again??

I'm guessing the train horn that sounded in the paddock when the drags were cancelled will sound no more.

It would have been one of the more appropriate uses of a few clown noses.

Here's a video one of our guys shot of our third and fourth autocross runs.

Due to a "clearence inadequacy" situation on the return trip (involving a hawk on the interstate), ole tooty's compressor was injured.

compressors are cheap! You can rebuild it!
