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?)

Tell them your flight lands the day after and act shocked when they tell you your car was stolen. If it works for that Chip Foose stolen car show then why can't it work for you?
