Yesterday was the Winged Warrior III event at ORP (formerly known as IRP). All the procededs (including our $100! admission fee) was donated to the Riley's Children Hospital Cheer Guild. GREAT cause. GReat fun!!!

So the 100-ish cars were seperated into 6 classes loosely based on NASA rules (not space). I and Jason were the two Hyundais slugging it out in the lowest class, F. It was a Domestic vs Import with 4 Auto-x runs on a HUGE course and 5 dragstrip runs down IRP's infamous 1/4-mile. It was hot. Very hot on track.

F class was paired with A-class for all the events. We auto-x'd first, then hit the dragstrip with the cars really warm! The 5 drag runs were like hot laps. No more than 5 minutes between finish and line-up. Track temp was pushing 90. HOT I tell you. When my CAI is hot to the touch, it's definately warm!

so results, then pictures. Best dragstrip run was with AMy Lee singing in my ears LOUD while lined up against Jasons GT. I ran a 16.6 @83mph. Our class was dominated by the domestics there. THe SSR and Ion Redline ran 14's, theCTS a 15.4. Slowest was an 86 Fiero with an 18.01!

The auto-x was dominated by the Imports. The two Lancers ran 1:05.xx's, a Neon from the FW region ran a 1:06.xx. Haven't gotten official results yest but I was about midpack from there. I ran a 1:07.995. THere were a ton of poorly driven A-class cars running 1:15's to 1:20's! Best A class run was 58.xx.

Now to the Pics:

CLose. Speedo was almost to 90.

Actual results were: 4th in class Auto-x, 10th in drags and 11th in car show. Netted me an overall 8th of 12.

THe 3 faster cars in auto-x were: Lancer Ralliart w/ K-sports 1:04.71, Neon 1:06.08, LAncer Ralliart on Eibachs 1:07.68 and me at 1:07.97

Drags. . . well considering that besides the Neon I had the lowest HP rating of the group I wans't upset!

Bobzilla
^^ Ditto on the NOble guy. I was expecting a stuck up. . .well you know. Too bad he was scared of the car.

Looks like it was a blast. I wish I could have made it down. I have a trailer now so if there is a 2 day race around your area let me know. I haven't seen anything on MyAutoEvents but not every place is putting things up there.
Bobzilla
Hey Scott, I'm planning on hittin the Tire Rack on Aug 5th in South Bend. Interested?
oiml8
I was more thinking about the following weekend because it is a two day event but let me check into it.
Bobzilla
Is it? That would work for me too. That would allow me to run our event down here.
J-son
There is a two day event at Tire Rack this weekend. But I will be home here FW racing instead. I will be at the Aug one though.

BTW: A few shots from the 12 that were taken of my car at the event. I can see that I have the suspension set up great; now the driver needs to attack the course more... 676.gif

No pics.
J-son
try links instead. i can see them when they were img files...ummm
Bobzilla
I was suprised to see so many of me too. I'm thinking it was because I looked a lot like all the White Evo's and they started snapping pics before they realized it was just a Hyundai!

Whatever, I'll take what I got!
J-son
Here is a little collage I made from two of the best shot of the day.



And a close up of the air shot...

It's a small world sometimes. In the background you see the guy with the yellow hat? That's my friend leaning on his Audi S4. I'm in the black shirt.



There were some cool cars there, I got to sit in Exige. It wasn't to bad, I'm 6'3" and I fit ok. I don't know if you saw the kid with the 80's Ford (I think it was a Festiva) that was running in B class. It was a pure drag car, it couldn't take off, but once he got going and hit the NOX it went like hell. I vaguely recall him hitting 110 in the quarter mile, sadly I didn't get to see him in the AutoX.


Very nice looking cars both of you!
Bobzilla
It was a Plymouth Colt with an Evo Drivetrain minus the rearend/center diff. His best recorded time was 13.64.

Well if I had found this site before then I probably would have. I lived in Indy for 5 years before moving to Elkhart just over 1 year ago. I still head down to Indy occasionally to visit friends so we'll have to have a beer sometime.

Bob, you don't by chance know another SCCA racer name Carl Fuhrman do you?
