New mission in life: photo bomb Rupert...
I’m going to try and make it. I’m working (and closing) so I’m not sure when I can get out there. My shop mate is competing in the stupid (in the best way possible) overpowered grey and green turbo RWD Volvo. Should be good times!
Shoot, it snuck up on me. I will assuage my disappointment with mountain biking and the ale trail in Bend.
In reply to Ransom :
Oof...sounds rough! Thanks for taking one for the team! Want to trade places? Trust me...the Friday closing shift really isn’t too bad!
I will be there all weekend crewing for car 360, a red WRX. The team is appropriately named, "Red Scare Racing."
Come say hi! If the service area looks like a poor monkey set it up, that's probably us.
That's us! I think I'm conveniently hidden behind the car during this photo. The co-driver is the bearded one and the driver is the nose and chin under the trunk lid.
That was our first attempt at troubleshooting what ended up being a broken upper strut bushing. We didn't find anything wrong at this point.
The second attempt was when the top of the strut was waving around. We borrowed a used spare from someone.
The third attempt was when the passenger side decided to do the same thing. We borrowed an unused custom fixed aluminum spare from Dirtfish. That one probably won't break anytime soon.
We got pretty good at replacing that bushing :)
I'll see what pictures I can find and see if I can put together a write up.
l didn't see you guys, sorry! On the bright side, my non-motorsports friends really enjoyed themselves at the race. So far I've shown them that rally cars and racing go karts are rad, so... success?
