yourself up properly for the slalom before the entry to the next<br>corner. It made for a challenging, but extremely fun course.<br><br>In all, we got six runs yesterday and six today. The Pantera performed<br>well, within the constraints of my present equipment and driver skills.<br>
I'm PAX'd really badly, in BSP due to the Fluidyne radiator and the<br>larger rear sway bar. The K&N air filter puts me out of stock as well,<br>and some might argue the Holley does too. ;)<br><br>Even so, I managed to pull out a second place each day, lucky for me<br>
there wasn't too much competition in my class.<br><br>Asa Jay<br><br>Asa Jay Laughton, MSgt, USAFR, Retired<br>& Shelley Marie<br>Spokane, WA<br>******************************<br><a href="http://www.racingagainstautism.com/" target="_blank">http://www.racingagainstautism.com</a><br>
