I didn't do so hot.... had a battery explode on one stage and lost a piece of our throttle body on another stage so if we let of the gas the car stalled.... we finished every stage though (left foot braking kept us from stalling of course, just a pain on transits) the fumes from the battery explosion were pretty nasty though. One of our teammates though took 2nd overall and 1st in 2wd... that's pretty insane considering he beat all but one of the AWD cars that were there.

Now doing a motor swap in the rally car to a 2.5L Duratek i believe? should put us around or slightly above 200hp mark, we have been running a 2.3 that makes 143hp. We could feel the power disadvantage big time on some of the longer straights, everyone else could zip through them and we had to ride the rev limiter then shift and laaaaaag our way up the rest of the straight... not going to turbo yet though.... to many problems. The other car on our team DNF'd the first day when they went through 3 radiators.... (first rally with a turbo for them) the extra fan for the turbo kept eating their radiators....

Damn, sounds like a ruff weekend. Why was the fan eating radiators ??
