edrach Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Mudrat, Glad you drove me around in the morning. Showed me what my Brat could do. I'm waiting for the official results too, but you'll be surprised since I ran three runs averaging 1:43 (even with the pylons I hit). The course dried up somewhat but was still pretty slick in spots. What was really amazing was that the Brats in class were 1, 2, and 3 again; Brian (84Soob) was first, I was 2nd, and Jamie was third ('just managed to nip her by less than a second on the total of three runs...she's a natural talent and will be a force to reckon with). Ken posted some amazing times in his Brat running TimeOnly in the afternoon session. Hey thanks Ed, For letting me Run your Brat.....It runs Out real Well..... And It does Fling Mud Good Too..... Had a Blast as Usual.....Talked to Ken today, he said you ran pretty good in the afternoon....Wish I could Have stuck around, but I had to get back and Work some more.....Good to see such a USMB turn out there...... Can't wait to see the time results, I put the Brat down as Time only for Open Class, Not truck or Production GT, so we shall see how I did UN-Officially....... Talk soon, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Well this was by far the most fun I've had at a rallycross, the suspension work I did made my GL handle a lot better. My times weren't anything to write home about but they did go down everytime. I just need to learn not to bumb the 4wd shifter, I found myself in neutral a couple of times.

edrach Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Some pics for sale by Wayne Flinn at http://www.pdxsports.com/photos/showindex.asp?folder=200503_rallyxToo bad he didn't take more (he was only there for a limited time in the afternoon. With the crowd from the rallycross school he would have sold a lot more pics. He got my blue Brat very nicely but I didn't see any other shots of our group.

bajavwnsoobnut Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 yeah just don't look for mine but next rallyX the ABS will be OFF! and also I know the surface for the next one very well and the dirt content also considering when i was alot younger working across the street from it and also having a friend as caretaker there kinda helps too hehe oh and if your wondering what I am talking about (besides Ed and I think Ken considering they knew about it 2 years ago when I brought it up to the ORG board) but it is going to be just north of Salem in Brooks at Antique Powerland and this time the site is JUST OFF THE FREEWAY WOOHOO! and also if I want to warm up I know of a special way to get there without even using any freeway from Portland hehe and it's roads I know and love considering they are the ones that taught me how to make a car handle in twisties hehe heck the backroads around there and from Salem to Mount Angel are so familiar to me I can get anyone lost if I wanted to hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Okay, send me a map!! Also, how many minutes drive is it from Portland; both ways: via I-5 and via backroads. I just hate that trip down I-5 to Salem; one of the most boring sections of that highway. yeah just don't look for mine but next rallyX the ABS will be OFF! and also I know the surface for the next one very well and the dirt content also considering when i was alot younger working across the street from it and also having a friend as caretaker there kinda helps too hehe oh and if your wondering what I am talking about (besides Ed and I think Ken considering they knew about it 2 years ago when I brought it up to the ORG board) but it is going to be just north of Salem in Brooks at Antique Powerland and this time the site is JUST OFF THE FREEWAY WOOHOO! and also if I want to warm up I know of a special way to get there without even using any freeway from Portland hehe and it's roads I know and love considering they are the ones that taught me how to make a car handle in twisties hehe heck the backroads around there and from Salem to Mount Angel are so familiar to me I can get anyone lost if I wanted to hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 well depends on how fast you drive but at 65 from frys it's about 30-45 min approx and backroads the way I drive it's about 1 hr from where I sit so basicaly it would take me about an hour via 205-5 and driving directions via freeway? haha it's easy head south untill you see the Brooks exit take it (Pilot is right there) turn right then 100 yards right again and there you are very simple don't ya think? oops forgot to mention and for the other way I would recommend you stopping by my house or I meet you at the hotel/motel if your staying at woodburn and hope you can keep up cause of I have gotten a few people lost around that area reall easily considering I used to live down there and stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Comments from the ORG discussion board; by Bill P. the driver of the hot Audi 4000S that smoked the field Sunday. We keep hearing from rally school students with positive feedback of their Primitive Performance Driving School experiences, even of the driving exercises during last Saturday's challenging weather. Some reported unlearning bad habits, others learning for the first time how to control their cars when speed exceeds available traction. Most of all, students were impressed with the overall professional level of the school and it's instructors. At $135 including the Sunday rallyx, it was a killer deal for students. The quick silver 4000Q driver happens to be a close personal friend and he swears he lowered his lap times by 10 seconds after only two days of the rally school. Now if we can just get Scott K to set up another school/rallyx in May, there'll be no stopping us. Sunday's 1st 2005 ORG RallyX took full advantage of Pe's classic "Oregon Weather Course" - giving us the room we need to drift, lose control, regain control, finish our 360, but keeping the speed reasonable by masterful placement of curves - let's sign that guy to a contract. PGT students "lost" the coin flip and ran first Sunday morning, graciously clearing off an inch of slime for the rest of us. Open class used various tire advantages to clear off another inch, but the p.m. sessions lost that advantage when a serious shower hit mid-afternoon. As usual, there's no fair way to compare times between the groups, but if we ignore the qualifications, the posted times show some interesting results: 1) Squirrel-powered Geo's driven by driven women rule! Congrats, April - 5th fastest, OVERALL! 2) Teenage-girl-driven Brats will soon rule - Congrats Jaime Quale for almost kicking your Dad's arse - 1.4 seconds behind him on run #1! 3) It's about time Jaime's dad moved up to the OPEN class - Congrats, Ken, for showing us how competitive a potent Brat can be - 2nd fastest OVERALL - can't wait to see the new XT-6. 4) Ted Dean showed why he belongs in the OPEN class - 2nd fastest (LAP) OVERALL in a FWD Golf! 5) Aaron, Brian, Blake, Andy, Ed, & Adam all drove impressively to close in on the 5 minute barrier. 6) As did Brady, in everyone's favorite - the beautiful 1968 vintage RHD Escort. 7) Todd's S-1R is built for going FAST - 4th OVERALL at Doo Wop! - not rallyx slow - but thanks for bringing out a true rally car - it still has everyone agog. 8) John A's mud-grooved Hakka's worked much better than stock in the slick. 9) The inch-long knobs on the Zapareski/Quale Impreza's tires amazed everyone - as did the 4000 Quattro's mud rally tires. 10) Scott K gave up his scoring opportunity to shepherd the event - even after running fastest lap last year on a similar open course! - thanks for the work - AND the points! ) 11) Real TRUCKS, when driven by real drivers - can be awesome! 12) RX3's engines can hold together for the 30,000 (loud) revolutions it takes to complete a typical lap with 3-spins! 12) Momma's CAN get back on the horse - congrats, Pat - we removed all the trees just for you. ) 13) Ultra-cool results formatting (& scoring, too) are best done by father-son teams -- thanks, Randy & Chris. 14) ORG RallyX staff bring professionalism to their volunteerism - congrats again, Gloria, Janice & Bruce, Lara & Mike, Charles & Teresa, Kevin & his NWR teammate, sweep maestro Mike, and officials John E & Rich O. 15) Anyone can have fun in the dirt - witness all the grins, even of those without a hint of traction out there - and no grin was bigger than Jon R's, who earned the highly-coveted "most seat time" award in his slippy 200SX. 16) Results pages fail to show how much faster at least two cars went with the Red Bull reps as ride-alongs - thanks, guys, for the "input." 17) Nor do they show how smooth everything looked to Oregon Trail Rally Chair Ben and Rally America exec. J.B. Niday - thanks, too, for your presence. 18) They DO indicate congrats are due to other class winners Dan B, Nick T, Rick S, Adam W, Brian D, & even Bill P - you all EARNED those 20 pts! 19) Results also fail to show how much faster students went with instructors as ride-alongs - thanks, coaches, for being available. 20) Results DO show you can find fast fun at an ORG RallyX whether you have a new, 300hp car or an old, 100hp beater - dirt is the great equalizer.
