Talking 2012 Mt Ascutney

We did go out to test a new fuel delivery system and the correction tune for it + my new rear diff set up and the replaced coilover, etc.

Here is some pictures and video from the weekend. Mt Ascutney is amazing hill. The organization who did this event was awesome! We got drink , including soda's , sandwiches , candy's etc. And you paid only $150 for a two day event!!!!
The runs were smooth and we had a lots of fun! Greg/ Klim also did run there with hie Evo 8 MR completely stock body. No cage etc. And put down some real impressive times! Congrats for them! They got *****!


My new revised rear diff and set up , with a reinforced rear frame:


my new exhaust and rear diff (getting ready for gravel - Pikes Peak for next year)


new wider cat and exhaust tip


pretty straight exhaust


the test from this weekend:

Looking good Rob! BTW, you can save another 20 lbs on your exhaust for Pikes Peak.

I saw you had a podium finish Rob. Congrats. I have heard that is a fun hill when they run all the way to the top?

I think you will be seeing me at the chasing the dragon hillclimb

We did run all the way to the top. It is tricky because it is very bumpy an off camber . Great news about your plan to come, see you in NC at the hill

I hiked the 4 mile trail up to the summit on Saturday. When I climbed up the look-out tower I heard the familier sound of anti lag popping coming up the hill. Then a white Evo 10 could be seen through the trees nearing the top. Very cool!

They've put up a great event for sure, was a great weekend. Definitely will be lookingto come back next year but hopefully in a caged car to be safe. Street car you can only push so much until you are jeopardizing safety.

Thanks Rob for the shout out. Here is my best run in the evo 8 MR. Only modification was an exhaust, and we ran on Tarmac rally tires the second day. Enjoy.
