1st event with the awd geo ice racer
Made it out this past weekend,no testing at all just straight from the shop onto the trailer.All things considered it went well with the car driving really well,had 2 dnf's from crap in the custom fuel tank clogging the filter.Thats sorted and the car is fine,won the other 3 races of the weekend.I only have 1 vid uploaded but here it is.

Outstanding Tom!!! Glad it was a free fix! Just fuel clogging. I love how you were lapping everybody. Fully enjoyed the cockpit vantage point.

Thanks,pretty happy with how the car drove right from the shop.I must be getting pretty good at the baseline suspension set-up guessing
I set-up the rear suspension with rear steer,works great.

nice.... sounded kinda rc car like, but hella fast. I think I would be scared to death to try that...but that also makes me want to try it that much more

Yes the video dumbed down the racket from the chains and tensioners,it makes some pretty frightening sounds inside the car.

Tom, hasn't the town come out with torches and pitch forks yet to do away with the monster in their midst!?
Congrats on all the wins Tom. I'm wondering if your competition just isn't paying any attention to what you're doing...come down for August 6th and race with us!!!

Re: 1st event with the awd geo ice racer
Haha,there was some talk of banning motorcycle engined cars but that was all just in fun-the car has generated a TON of interest and I feel like I'm at a car show all day answering questions from people.It's actually good for the sport I believe,2 other guys have expressed an interest in building something similiar now that I've proven the concept.One is the guy in the celica altrac,he's the class champ a few times over and he believes the days of overweight production cars is now over.He was turning the boost up this weekend and he say's my little bomb is still pulling him on the straight which is a little surprising.
If money was no object I'd come down and play no problem,being August I suspect not much snow so I'd bring the winged wonder.
