Doug, I got a couple of pictures of your car

What great fun, thanks for the exciting ride down the "stage' road.

I'm a writer, putting together a story on the event. I chatted with a few of you, but it was too bloody cold to talk to everyone. If anybody has anything to say, a short quote about their experience of the event, that I might be able to use, by all means please send it along!
My email is: wheelpower@peterboroughexaminer.com.

Scores and Times

Hi all,
Sorry for taking so long in getting these posted, we will get these up as soon as possible.

Please remember that a lot of people didn't run a full 4 runs. There will be no "trophies" for this event, but we will be awarding a 2007 Andrew Harvey Photography Calendar to the top two spots in each class.

Thank you to all the workers that helped out on the day, these events would not run if it wasn't for you.

James

This would have been better to ask AT the event, but... For the AWD guys, how were you handling the tight turns? Were you setting up for them with rotation and "coasting" through? Or were you giving generous throttle to claw your way around?

If you watch my vids, I had a lot of trouble at turn 3, the hairpin right, and turn 4, the hairpin left with the huge cones. I just couldn't get anything going there, and I was always pushing to the outside. Even when I tried to keep the rotation going with throttle input, I would either seem to go wide or if I took off the throttle the rotation would stop and understeer set in.

How were you handling it?
