OK, a total 4 legacies showed up. Me, an auto 90 sedan, a 95ish gt and the rallitec turbo sedan but he didnt run.

I was like the spagetti western. The Good, the Bad and The Ugly. First run out I did alot better than most even though the track was a soupy mess, only ate 2 cones. The second run was much faster but I was wagging the rear end so bad I stuffed my stomach with 8 cones.

The last run was running close to perfect. Fast, hot and perfect power drifts. Then came the 1st bad corner. Need to turn left. Rear end goes left, that means you are pointing right. Complete stop. Crap.

Take 0ff again and get it on really well until the dreaded twin hairpin ending. Then I lose it just enough to eat a gate for a 4 second penalty. Damn.

Came in 14th out of 25. My big BUT is that I did have 12 cones total that added 24 seconds to my overall time.

Next time out if I do get better mud tires I should do way better as the power the competitors put out has less to the end result as do tires and driver skill.

For those of you in Washington, there is a Rallycross coming up in the Seattle area.
