Ah, rule on wheelbase restriction? Can you say understeer, or is it power oversteer, sliding sideways spectacularly losing time. Or is the road THAT tight he needs ROTATION in a corner NOW?

It is probably using the stock engine and transaxle. Audi has always been putting their engines way out front, you just don't see it because it is surrounded by car.

That belongs to Paul Tingaud. It's extremely fast. Homebuilt hillclimber based around Audi 5000 mechanicals if I recall.

Paul pilots the Super chicken(tube framed audi) quite well. He was third overall. Looked pretty surreal coming out of the clouds past where I was working. Like something out of mad max. The patriot upped his top speed record to 114 by the end of the day. Not bad for a guy who's had quadruple bypass surgery. Higgin's drive to the new record time was nothing less than outstanding. The gentleman with the freightliner also did a hell of a job. That truck barely fit on most of the course.

Also met and worked a checkpoint with a fellow grm forum member. Good to meet you by the way. I think I see a hillclimb in your future.

That was me... thanks again for answering all of my questions and explaining the details so well
It was nice to meet you as well, and I am definitely still planning on some hillclimbing in the not too distant future...

Truly awesome events. The fog at the top was frightful at times and the view on the dirt section daunting!
I was working the finish controls all 3 days.
