I need to stop watching footage. The wheels are turning in my head, and I don't need to be building a Pikes Peak car...

I'll post more detailed updates later, but the quick rundown was:
1) dogbox problems with 3rd gear on days 2 & 3, had to hold it in gear or it would pop out.
2) we opted to start last in class to allow the road more time to dry from quick downpour during the Time Attack class.
3) PPO car stalled/crashed on course causing start delay.
4) rain moved back in for the two Evo's, requiring wipers on high for the first 1/2 of the course.
5) blew/loosened coupler launching the car at the startline, leaving max boost at 8psi tapering to 5psi by the summit. We had been running 26-30psi all week, so it was quite a power drop.
6) smoke filling car when moving slowly (like under braking),
I'm happy with the result considering all the things that worked against us at the last minute, but that's life up on the hill. We had some good results on practice days, taking top spot on 2 of 3 days, including qualifying. We did make it to the top, so I'm now 3 for 3, which is alot better than it could've been.
Huge thanks goes out to all the sponsors in my signature, without your support this effort wouldn't have been possible.
