Don't worry Alan...

*you* were legally below the bar

I'm on the hunt for some bigger brakes, some better suspension, a racing seat, oh, and a clutch.

Last weekend's going to cost me lots of money!

Hehe - there are advantages to being vertically challenged :)

No R compound tires on your list? I hear the siren song of the slippery slope calling out :}

Video (as promised)

I put together the following video from the collection of clips I took with my digicam. It turned out ok.

The file is rather large (I have a larger file which is about 2x the size, but no server to host it on right now) The good thing is the video below is hosted on Comcast's servers, so if you have a cable modem, the download should be pretty fast...

Sorry Mac guys, the file is encoded as Windows Media Video (.wmv) 'cause I haven't learned how to use Premiere yet, and Windows Movie Maker is easy!

<a href="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/steveo369/bremvid/bremertonvid(small).wmv"> Video file - bremertonvid(small).wmv (11 mb) - "Right Click"-"Save Target As" suggested</a>

how many cars there were stock?

I have a stock A4- just curious if I would be the total minority.

Great shot of the Cooper zipping around that turn, too.

The first day (groundschool and autox ) many were stock, the second day (track) not so many...

but the bottom line is not how many or what mods you have! The whole event was very non-competitive, just a chance to really push your cars limits in a relatively safe and controlled environment.

There were 4 A4's there, myself and one other lightly modded 1.8T (the other guy was running stock 16" wheels and tires, and only had a chip) a 2.8 with just an exhaust, and a supercharged 2.8. All of us were running 17" street tires.

Your stock A4 would be just fine, and still have less body roll than that Acura! :-)
