Yesterday was the Winged Warrior III event at ORP (formerly known as IRP). All the procededs (including our $100! admission fee) was donated to the Riley's Children Hospital Cheer Guild. GREAT cause. GReat fun!!!

So the 100-ish cars were seperated into 6 classes loosely based on NASA rules (not space). I and Jason were the two Hyundais slugging it out in the lowest class, F. It was a Domestic vs Import with 4 Auto-x runs on a HUGE course and 5 dragstrip runs down IRP's infamous 1/4-mile. It was hot. Very hot on track.

F class was paired with A-class for all the events. We auto-x'd first, then hit the dragstrip with the cars really warm! The 5 drag runs were like hot laps. No more than 5 minutes between finish and line-up. Track temp was pushing 90. HOT I tell you. When my CAI is hot to the touch, it's definately warm!

so results, then pictures. Best dragstrip run was with AMy Lee singing in my ears LOUD while lined up against Jasons GT. I ran a 16.6 @83mph. Our class was dominated by the domestics there. THe SSR and Ion Redline ran 14's, theCTS a 15.4. Slowest was an 86 Fiero with an 18.01!

The auto-x was dominated by the Imports. The two Lancers ran 1:05.xx's, a Neon from the FW region ran a 1:06.xx. Haven't gotten official results yest but I was about midpack from there. I ran a 1:07.995. THere were a ton of poorly driven A-class cars running 1:15's to 1:20's! Best A class run was 58.xx.

Now to the Pics:

This was a hand picked event. This issomething I've been working towards for a while now. 130 cars were picked out of several hundred in 6 specific classes from bones stok to all out wild 1000hp beasts. I got lucky. Very lucky!

REsults were 4th in class in auto-x, 10th in drags and 11th in car show out of 12 cars. I was .2 seconds from a podium finish on the auto-x. . . . 2 measly tenths!!! Drags, well I was the lowest HP in the class, and probably on the day. Car show. . .well whattya expect. I can't even win COTM from Elantra lovers, I can't expect much from therest of the world. I guess I have to earn my respect on the track (of which I di thank you!)

Those wheels look incredible on that car, very nice choice!

[BobMs_wht2k2]

They were purchased not by choice but by weight and price. Wheel/tire/weights are 29lbs each and the wheels cost $300 shipped.

I'm beginning to believe ANYTHING looks good on a White car. NExt car will definately be white.

Personally, I'm anxious to get the cashola saved to pick up those 225/45 Hankook RS-2's. I'll be a podium finish all the time. . . or at least I'll think so!
