Ha everyone,
This past weekend was the running of the Mt.okemo hill climbs. This is my third time running it. Saturday it rained in the morning and than off and on.We thought we where going to cancel saturday but instead we ran some fam runs in groups of 8. We took it somewhat slow. I was on hoosiers and it was pretty slick but really fun and better than canceling it.I had installed some stance rear sub frame bushing the weekend before and wanted to feel them out a little.They did get rid of my wheel hop. Sunday was sunny and hot.Great day.Was hoping for 4 runs but only got 3.
There was one other 240 there sporting the sr and stance coil overs.We ran most of the day together learning from one another.Cool guy. Ha Dan. good times.
I ran a 2:50 2:49 and the last run was a 2:45.I beet my best by a second.I was hoping to hit 2:43,but like allways u want just one more run.I took 4th in class out of 8 and 30th out of 54 over all.I think i did good for my stock motor.I need more power now.I like my suspension for the time being. Anyway here are some pics of our cars.
