i decided that i was going to make my last run spectacular. whether it be a spectacular disaster or success. obviously it turned out to be the former rather than the latter, but that was quite fine with me.

i did get a chuckle when the subie couldn't pull me out and they needed to get the truck. i knew the evo wouldn't stand for being towed to safety by a lowly subaru!

 

Someone is beating us up over on NASIOC wondering how we get stuck since we have 'REAL' front and rear diffs. Come to think of it....so was i.....

 

"Ummm, so I guess we're out for the FTD on this one Dan??"

Nice runs there Denny. What color washer fluid do you want? Blue or Orange?

My times dropped consistently thanks to Jeremy's co piloting skills.

 

If anyone was out last night the highways were worse then the snowcross course. Pretty hairy stuff.

Good thing I had all that practice during the day!.

 

Yeah and what sucked the most was that was the parade lap

one co driver can be a great thing. but co-driving by committee can end up being very confusing.

take one idiot driver who can't find the course, one co driver in the passenger yelling at the idiot driver, and Ms. Daisy in the back telling your something completely different and you end up being dragged out of the snow by an FJ Cruiser.

i was thinking last night about course markings. i wonder if getting some bright spray paint or some kind of dye like they use on football fields to mark the turns with would help?

 

I was loving it, we don't get enough snow in maryland and I took full advantage of it. Friday night I had an off course almost got stuck in a farmers field in rural central PA where the roads get no winter maintainence. I parked the car and the next day I had to start up the heater and aim it at the wheels because ice had packed into the wheel and locked the wheel to the caliper/suspension arm.

Yesterday I did the same thing. Spent about 1.5 hours tooling around. Got off course AGAIN but this time at about 45mph and corn stalks were slapping the rear bumper of the car. Luckily no damage. Then I got a chance to jump the car taking off in snow and landing in snow. Travis its in the valley where the Amish are if your reading this. The snow was drifted across the road so it was very smooth takeoff and landing. Burnt 5 gallons of gas in that short period of time (E85).

Looks like Justin got more front end snow than me though. I don't have it in the grille, just the lower vents for the brake ducting.

 

yeah the evo was hungry for some snow. it all got packed in there and ended up freezing in to a solid block of ice. i have to check in a little bit and see if it melted over night.

it is giving me an interesting idea for summer though. nice low IAT's by packing the entire I/C grill with ice.

 

LOL. i do appoligize for the bad navigating skills. Its hard when you can't see a darn thing. Altho the driver was kinda being a lunitic so that didn't help.

 

 

no your navigating skills were fine.

my interpreting skills were where the break down in communication took place.

kind of a lunatic? you underestimate me

 

chris carlisle got some pictures up from yesterday.

Looking to buy some Evo VIII wheels........anyone have any to let go for a reasonable price? don't care if they are curbed, etc. Just want them for winter....

I am ordering snow tires today because after almost wrecking numerous times last night my all-season experiment is over....They worked good brand new out of the box but after 22k miles I might as well had advans on.

Pretty sure I am going with the Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D, Denny seems high on them as well as many others from reading reviews.

Anyway PM me...
