Keep in mind this is just one course. They run the other course tomorrow and both times are added together to determine the winner. Sipe (Team RX8) had cone problems that kept him near the bottom of STU with 2 cones on his fastest run which added 4 seconds to his time. With clean runs he would have been around the same time as Jason McCall who was the fastest RX8 in 19th out of 48 cars. I'm kind of glad I didn't get that ride with Sipe now. His co-driver is DFL. If Sipe can't get a handle on the car mods, I sure know that I could never figure it out! |
what's this munchhof doing in 8th place.

Congrat to ULLOSE who made his screenname true two years in a row. Aaron Buckley (B1immer) moved up two places to 5th and Dennis Sparks stayed at 6th as a newcomer to Nationals. He is an engineer who was recently involved in the selection of a new light utility helicopter for the Army. Looks like Iain is a good driver and is likely to do well again next year in Keith Casey's car.
Mark Sipe (TeamRX8) in STU ran much faster today with a time that looks like about 14th quickest but he could not overcome yesterday's cones obviously. Jason McCall slowed for some reason finishing 29th out of 48. Sorry guys. Any rain at all?? Conditions better with rubber on the ground? Is the sand they keep talking about blowing from elsewhere or generated by rubber and asphalt pieces?

Frustrating to not be there, but I'm thrilled for Aaron...we've been co-driving for 4 years with 3 different cars now...unfortunately (for me) he's clearly passed me in the driving department now...damnit, I used to beat him all the time! Bryan 1 more RX-8 year in me I guess...but thinking about what might come next... |
My bad on Aaron. After all the changes you guys made to your ST cars the last few years to finish pretty poorly, looks like you guys couldn't get a handle on the ST mods either. If you switch cars, better stay stock.... :angel:
Looks like Keith Casey coned his way out of a much higher position with cones on all his day 2 runs. Bummer. The BMW M3s did pretty well in STU so guess we can't blame it all on AWD. Not sure what the story is for the STU RX8s. |
Congrats to Jason and Joe for making it a two RX8 "podium"...also, props to Carter for going so dang quickly in the quasi FS car :)
|
From out here, Asher was the real story. We knew the top 3 guys were capable of great times (and congrats to Jason, Carter, and Joe), but Asher really stepped up to the plate and separated himself from the rest of the pack taking the much coveted 4th spot.
Great Job!!!! :rock: |
Nice job to you, too, Dennis! 6th in a National is nothing to be ashamed of!

I still had a good time and it was nice to put some faces to the names on the forum. There was some great competition and it's really cool to see a 350z so close to the top. We should see more of them coming out now. Thanks to edj for the co-drive. Maybe if his car wasn't so slow we would've done better. :p: Oh, and congrats to my homeboy Isley on the back-to-back championships! :rock: |
Congradulations "Fast Jason"....we at the RX8 Cup knew you had it in you. One more year for the three-peat...and then to get you in a different car so I can be the Fastest 8 in Fontana....
|
As an aside, it's pretty cool that eight of the ten trophy winners are active on this forum. The 968 forums aren't nearly as active. :)
|
way to go jason, when? i start i will have to get a few lessons form you
|
good job jason. gotta watch your back though, the 350z clan will be back next year EN MASS!!!
|
come on now...put Jason in a 350 z and he'd kick their butt again. There is a lot to say about being a good driver, regardless of the car.

I think the 350Z will be the new BS car to have now that somebody has placed so well at Nat's in one. I think more drivers will try this car and once its sorted, watch out. On paper I could never understand why it wouldn't dominate BS and I think its now only a matter of time. I guess we'll see.

The weight difference between a prepped RX-8 and a prepped 350Z is actually more in the vicinity of 250 lbs (reference: http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php...&f=11&t=235671), but the 350Z has other disadvantages too, namely minimal and non-adjustable front camber, and a viscous limited slip differential which can't nearly keep up with the car's torque. Making one go fast requires patience and a well-calibrated right foot. Carter's absolutely shown that the 350Z can win Nationals, but having driven all three of B Stock's top contenders, I'd say that the RX-8's the easiest to set up and drive quickly. That, combined with its practicality and the fact that it's cheaper than the 350Z, suggests to me that it will continue to make up the majority of BS fields in the years ahead. |

Nice drive! Great rookie drives by both Asher and Dennis...hope I'll see you two at some events again next year. However, I hope you don't have the experience I have of trophying at your first nationals, missing the trophies the next 2 years, and then missing nationals altogether the next 2! :cussing: Bryan |
Jason: congratulations on making it 2 years in a row!! Here's to one heck of a driver and one hell of a guy... :beerchug:
