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

That's great! I'm glad to hear that you're tearing up the local rental car fleets up there. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) BTW, if you can find a new V6 Mustang, they run in G Stock and are going to be the cheapest RWD car you'll be able to rent, probably. A Focus ZX3 might also be a decent rental to find, and would be a lot more fun than the Aveo (more power and more tire).

Can you post pictures of the DTS ax-ing? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

I looked into getting a better car but I think I'd have to go all the way to SEA-TAC airport to get a v6 Mustang which is probably too far. I'd have to drive the rental up there, leave it there while I ran the Mustang, then return the mustang and drive back in the aveo... that's a lot of unnecessary driving for 4 laps (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Besides, I rented a v6 rustang once and wasn't very impressed... still ...thinking maybe more competitive than an aveo but ...DAMN THE AUTOMATIC RENTAL CARS! Maybe... I'll keep you posted.

I didn't bring anyone with me to take pics when I ran the DTS so I'd have to ask some of the locals which ones took pics and get some from them. They don't do the photographer takes a picture of everyone thing and post it on the web like OVR does... another thing we take for granted.

Good news, though... I may be done with this temporary duty sooner than i thought. I can fly out as early as Aug 3rd (if I can find a flight) which means I MAY be at the OVR Governor's cup! Woo hoo! ( I just have to justify to my wife that I just spent 2 months away from her and the kids but want to spend the whole 1st 2 days I'm back auto-crossing... anyone got a suggestion for that?)
