Freezeout Hillclimb 2014
Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2014 10:14 pm
Competed in the Freezeout Hillclimb this past weekend and I'm really happy with the Car.
I bested my previous best time by over 4 seconds, pulling a 1:43.6??. That's more than a 4 second improvement over my previous fastest time.
By comparison, the TToD was in a borrowed EVO at 1:33 and change. The fastest in my class was a 1:39.???.
There was only 1 major casualty this event, a Lotus Exige that lost it over "Air Bump", launching itself over a 4 foot berm and sliding 200 feet to the bottom of the ravine. Sprained wrist for the driver, but the car may be a total loss.
The engine pulled massively with the T5 and just worked perfectly both days. I'm really happy with it.
The turnout was a bit low as the Idaho Rally was this weekend and we lost several of our regular driver's too it, but the local Evo club showed up and helped fill the grid. We also had a really nicely prepared VW Jetta stop by on his way to Pike's Peak.
I think I have all the HP I can handle right now, back to suspension and tires!
