Ok so compliments of the U.S. Army, I get a 2-month stay in the cloudy and rainy state of Washington. I do get a few days off here and there and it just so happens that I got 3 days off this weekend so I can attend the events in Packwood, WA. I don't know the area or their rules, nor do I have my car here, so I rented a car (tried for a Charger and got upgraded to a Cadillac DTS... hey it's a V8 RWD!) and will do my best to get there and fit in. Is anyone on this site from NWR and going this weekend that I could meet up with?
Also I'm assuming a DTS is F-stock, right? Anyone have advice for AXing a Cadillac? Thanks in advance, Andre |

blah... I did horrible. I ran a best of 70.x seconds on a course most cars were hitting 55-60. The acceleration and handling was nowhere near an LS-1 F-body. Steering was so spongy with body roll and nose dive that made me sick. The weather was horrible - Cold, windy and rainy all day and the stock tires gave me little traction. Add to it I'm still pretty much a newb to AX and there you have it. I think I'll skip the next AX here and just wait to get back w/ my WS6.
On the plus side, I did get a lot of questions and comments and I was probably the most photographed car/driver that day. I suppose the amount of roll and dive was impressive. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
