Bunch of RX8 pics from the West course are up here: http://www.printroom.com/ViewGallery...lery_id=518059

I believe these are the guys that were selling prints at the banquet.

 

That's a Keeper! Thanks, Clyde, for putting it together & hosting it for the rest of us to watch. I'm angry, too, to hear they didn't show it Thursday. Let me know if you want my signature on a protest form - oops, I guess it wasn't protestable.

I guess as a consolation you were one of the winners of the Corner Workers Award. Did you stay to pick up that one?

 

I'm still pretty ticked.

Yeah. I'll just say it was weird.

 

from the STU vorshlag crew.

 

I must have missed it... What is KC going to?

 

Originally he was talking about a GXP, but I think the idea of a $27k turbo Pontiac scared him off. Last thing he mentioned to me was STS.

 

I'm co-driving a Civic in STS next year, taking a year off from car ownership. Got an offer I couldn't refuse. It's going to be fun, that's for sure. As far as the GXP, it's the price combined with a questionable work future. I finished up a long-term contract here at work and I'm right now wondering what's in store for me this year work wise.... I'll find out later this week. So buying a new car in this situation... wouldn't be exactly the wisest move.

Had a good nationals and I have to say I did the best I could out on the courses. Sure, there was more time on either course, but oh well... it was up to me to find it and I didn't. Then the cones on the 2nd day on all my runs.... bleah. All a matter of inches. I guess that's what draws me in to the sport, being an inch or two inside or outside a cone is the difference between winning and losing. Precision.

Looking forward to next year already.

Street tires suck.

B Stock has been a fun ride, I am going to miss it. Hopefully A Stock continues filling the fields with good drivers. It's been one of the coolest stock classes lately if you ask me.

 

Already planning for '08? How about Cole Stock?

Yep... planning for '08 already. I have something up my sleeve for a build if I just totally suck in the Civic and don't lose the weight I need to loose to keep up with the car owner.... I give up almost 100 lbs to him. This winter will be a winter of exercise and eating better.

best mod that can be done to any car....weight loss.

 

Only after decals do I agree with that, and also after driving schools....

 

yeah, I know about you and driving schools (Only from what I have read on the forums though).....and I enjoyed looking at the pics of your ride from the link posted above. Interesting combo of silver, orange and nordic green.

edit....oh, and yes, I'm a sticker guy too.

 

Weight loss didn't help me!

 

After spending thirteen hours and going through three bottles of adhesive remover to strip all of the stickers off of the former kC car, I have to say I disagree with you.

You really should seek some help for that vinyl fetish of yours. It's unhealthy.

Good luck in STS!

 

Wow, I walked past your garage so many times! Wish I would have went in to talk.

 

3 hours? That's it?

--kC

 

Read it again. Three bottles of adhesive remover. Thirteen hours - as in one more than twelve - to strip off all of the stickers and the adhesive residue. Not including washing or waxing.

My shoulders and my fingertips are still aching. I'll give you this, though - the paint is in great shape. Probably because most of it had never seen the light of day before!

 

OOps... I did read that as three hours. Not 13... 13 seems like and awfully long time to get it all off. It all went on in about an hour (other than the bottom stripes). I hope you remembered to heat the vinyl up a little before pulling it off... then I can see where it would take a while. But then again.. I've been doing this for years!

I read your e-mail and will get back to you later tonight.

I hope that you realize that you just removed about 13 HP and 3 lbs-ft of torque by removing those stickazz...

 

Great pics! Thanks for the link.

 

I thought that only applied to Hondah stickaz??? I bought some Honda driving shoes and got 5HP on the dyno.

 

I was thinking about putting some big "Type R" and "Powered by VTEC" stickers on it - do you think that would get me back the missing horsepower?

 

One of these days I'm gonna put a "Crane Cams" decal on my 8.

 

LOL, I won the sticker battle, but lost the Competition war
