well, yesterday my friend and i hit up the first wdcr rallyx of '08 at summit point raceway. we got there and noticed it was a bit muddy, didnt make much of it. walked the course and also did a parade lap and wasnt so bad. once everything before racing began was done, we lined up and my friend ended up being the first car out on the course. he goes and we notice its alot worse than we anticipated haha. he got his first 3 runs done and was alright, then when it was time for my first 3 runs, the course was complete mud. may not sound so bad but the course was a bit tight and driving in mud is very difficult. the car is very unpredictable and just kinda had to baby it around. too much gas and u just slide. to litte and u get stuck. turn the wheel, nothing happens...after the morning runs were done, we had lunch break and they changed the course and we ran it reverse. the mud dried up a little and the course was more spread out so we could go fast, much faster. all in all the afternoon was a blast. big puddle, good mix of dirt and mud, controlled slides, big ruts, just a ton of fun. the afternoon runs also gave us one hell of a work out. constant back and forth with the steering wheel, my shoulders were a bit sore after and i was outa breath hahah

anyways, here some pics...
will be seeing this more often this year:nod:
