I'm betting you were a few drinks in during that interview when you mentioned that you liked F%$ing women, not cars.

had a blast again Dave, thanks for everything...the group I was with were all talking about how the shootout is our Christmas...looking forward to next year...


quick question though, this year the max effort rules stated Ralliarts would compete in ME, but the 04-06 Lancer Ralliart is FWD and is not turbocharged...mine is turbocharged, but it's still FWD. At least there are FWD DSM's, there's obviously no such thing as a FWD Evo. so it's not really fair for a FWD car to compete in Evo, turbocharged or not...at least in max effort, there should be a class for FWD. would you ever consider something like that?

I REALLY like the change of being able to buy the 3 day pass at the shop on Friday. This was my first time going and it was awesome. It's really an event that everyone would enjoy.
It would be nice to be able to see the ladders or understand how they work and what they are based on. I figured it would be like a basketball bracket or something but not sure. And would continue on from the original qualifying pass.
We had 26 people in SE class. I qualified at #8 then raced #19. Then raced #7. Who then raced the #1 qualifier. I don't know how that worked out like that ?

If the car is FWD and not the AWD Ralliart, I'd put it in the DSM class, you'll have to explain it to me when I'm am tech'ing cars next year.

Qualifiers are posted in Customer Sevice, right across from where the BR trailer is every year.

#1 races the last qualifier, #2 races the second to last qualifier, and so on.
