Been a little while, and we've had a busy summer. SEMA is coming in hot, and our prep is almost complete..


..I am not a fan of doing interior work, but I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. Hopefully it will help us with D&E, but either way it's much more pleasant inside than it was before.


We've snuck in some running, but mostly done a lot of detail work on the car. Resprayed under the hood and and did a little dress up.


When you start out with a clean wheel, and 5 runs later have this, it's been a good autocross course.


Getting down to it, still some things to button up then the detail job of our lives before we head west.

Looks good. Who or How did you do your custom interior carpet pieces?

We ordered a couple sections of carpet and I made templates with paper before cutting all the pieces. We had a local upholstery shop sew up the edges with fabric to get a finished look.

It's all glued down using 3M Super 90 (I will be hating life if we decide to pull it out) but it works pretty well as sound deadening. The car is about 100 times more pleasant on the highway now along with actually looking finished for the first time ever.

When life gives you an autocross course that lets you run 88 mph, there's only one thing to do..


SEMA prep is winding down, but what would it be without a little excitement? Ended up trashing a shift fork in the trans, necessitating a last minute thrash and a trip to Dederichs Motorsports for some expert rehab. He came through big, turning it around in a few days and greatly simplifying things for us.


Towed off course around 11. Stuck around for our 3rd heat work assignment..


..Annnd trans was out by 6 o'clock that night


And as of Saturday, it's back together

All that's left is the cleaning the pig up and it will be ready to pack up and head west.

wow! I'm honestly surprised they allowed the course to get that fast. Very impressive run Duston. Good luck out at SEMA.

That put a big smile on my face, haha. We've become pretty decent dance partners the last few years. It's fun just grabbing it by the scruff of the neck and yelling LET'S GO!

It's a once a year event, we typically run outside the track in one of the parking lots but get to hit the road course every October. Silly fun, it's my favorite autocross of the year by far. And, thanks!

Quarterly update time! SEMA was a blur, OUSCI was a blast, and we ended up in a picture with the craziest group of cars I could possibly imagine.













We managed a 5th in class in autocross, 9th in speed stop on one session, and 8th in road course with 2 and a half sessions.

A few laps into the 3rd road course session, the rear end side of the panhard bar broke loose and our weekend was over.


We were able to get it patched back together for the photo at least (pictured at center..)

As a souvenir from the trip, I also broke my toe by dropping a jack on it during the drive home.


To finish the year off right, we even got a little time on the Vegas show thanks to a close battle down to the last run with Chad Ryker, who was nursing an ailing rear end in the afternoon runs.

Continued..
