DARN RIGHT!<br>

Of course, Open Road Racing is one I haven't tried yet. I might be
just as bad at that. ;)<br>

[TPR] Oh! that hurts.<br>
</font><br>
Autocross today at Spokane County Raceway, not the usual
course at Deer <br>
Park airport. They've just finished re-routing the road
course and our <br>
local autocross club managed to get a big chunk of it today
for us to <br>
try out our driver skills. This makes for a faster course
as all the <br>
autocross elements are laid out in-line with the road
coarse.<br>
<br>
This can also be deceptive, challenging and dangerous if
you're not <br>
paying attention. Such unlucky fortune found it my way
today.<br>
<br>
First run of the day, cold track, cold tires. Didn't take
it easy <br>
enough. Ran OFF track and nosed my Pantera into a ditch
when I failed <br>
to negotiate a slalom. The previously dented front valance
now is <br>
dented severely to include new creases. Well, I -was- going
to replace <br>
that anyway. And as further luck would have it, as I
inspected and <br>
hammered it out just a tad, I found where that funny warm
coolant odor <br>
was coming from. <sigh> Looks like the Fluidyne
radiator is weeping <br>
just a tad on the drivers side from some tube (I haven't
found exactly <br>
where yet). Not enough to leave drops on the garage floor
yet, but <br>
we'll need to get that fixed.<br>
<br>
Second and third runs went much better and by the end of the
day we were <br>
spanking the course pretty darn hard.<br>
<br>
Sooo....<br>
<br>
- Glad I've not started a restoration project yet<br>
- She's still pulling hard and driving fine (though the
driver needs a <br>
bit more experience)<br>
- Having fun despite the tiny setbacks.<br>
<br>
