Looks like a triple rotor N/A motor. I bet it was major noisey. Cool car and has the same paint scheme as past Eunos roadster I seen at the auto salon two years back. Euno's was fitted with a 2r otor motor too btw.

I think he is back sometime this week, they were staying a week after the event to jsut chill in Cali, i really dont blame them

[canadianskyline]

Yep, im back.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Canada sucks.

Me and Fred sucked.

Here's my story of the week.

Wednesday - Leave at 5pm and get stopped for like an hour at the border. The truck headlights sucked and i was driving the montana/idaho passes at night in snow with like no visibility.

With the help of excitement/rockstar i drove like 15 hours straight til Jordan took over. I was a driving zombie.

Everytime we stopped we had to start the car up so the water didnt freeze and crack the block or something, i run 100% water with water wetter.

Thursday - Arrive at Camp Snakebite at like 5pm and i went to sleep for a few hours then we went to do the "roll in" at like 11pm but it was all unorganized and we ended up loading the car back up in the trailer and saying **** it to the roll in.

SLEEEP.

Friday - Get to the track, set everything up and start driving, i was pretty confident, the track was pretty easy but then the car started having issues.

It was missing and **** and i was drifting the bank running on 4 cylinders like barely being able to do it.

We spent like 2 hours pissing around with fuel pump, FPR, MAF, ECU, Coilpacks, spark plugs. It hydrolocked on start up one of the times and we were just all over the place trying to figure out the missing.

Finally we decided to pull the bee-r rev limiter out just to eliminate that possibility, and the thing ran PERFECTLY, i was like wtf.....thats gay we just blew like my whole practice session.

Then i blew a couple couplers that didnt get put back on properly after all the dicking around, no big deal.

Now it was time for the driver search, i got like 15 minutes of tracktime with like 4 other cars just before the drivers search, so i got some good runs in there, and then JUST before it started, i blew a hole in my rad, which i had had fixed, cause my fan ate through it, moral of the story is dont use repaired rads.

We did the FASTEST rad swap ever, and they said we could still run if we had the car ready by the time the last car went.

We were 30 seconds late and they wouldnt let us run....i was pretty pissed off about that, i mean come on...30 seconds, i think the d1 people have no soul.

Off to a hotel room we went, not really in the mood for partying or anything of the sort at angelo's place.

PS....fred blew a coupler just before the drivers search so he didnt make it either.

Saturday - Sat and watched the Exhibition match.....:x

Sunday - Practice session went AWESOME, i was driving wicked now that i had finally had some time out on the track, me and fred were signing autographs, it was rad. Then the "world championship" thing started and i was pretty confident i could give bulger a run for his money.

First run my line was waaayy off the clipping points following bolger, and it was 7 - 3 advantage for him, after watching the vids, ya it was the right call.

Second run leading i was doing pretty good, would have been about a 5 - 5 but then around the hairpin corner i was pushing too hard, and was at full lock, hoping i wasnt gonna loop, then i just barely looped out and bolger slid his door into the front of my car kinda.

Damage isnt too bad, most of that **** i was gonna change anyway.

Then we went back to the hotel and spent the next week in SOCAL/Vegas. It was a good time.





All in all it was definately a cool experience. Im happy i at least proved to myself i can sorta drive at that level, practice on sunday went really good. In tandem i need practice though. Ive never driven against guys of that caliber, and it was definately evident.

Ill be back to this event next year as long as i can get some proper sponsors for tires and everything else. Ive got something for tires hopefully lined up, and ill be getting to work on the car right away here to have some more crazy stuff in the works for next year.

Here's a vid of practice on sunday. This is really raw footage, lol.
