NAT Subaru Places 7th at RAL

[Not All There]

The Rally Against Leukemia ended up being an awesome event. We were able to help participate in raising thousands of dollars for a great cause as well as have a great time racing, breakage free.

We placed 7th in 4 Wheel Modified, with a total time of 303.69 which would have allowed us to win first place in 4 Wheel Prepped (Once class below us) The 4 Wheel prep winning time was 313.14.

Against my wishes it looks like we will be installing a back seat and racing in 4 Wheel Prep for a bit to get some wins and look good for sponsors as well as justify the fact that we are still running a bone stock 1.8 against the fastest cars which I love but time to really put the "Ugly Panda" in its correct class. So stay tuned, hopefully we can start brining home some trophies!

And a video of one of the early morning laps (tighter slower course then the afternoon's track.)

Hey NAT, do you still have the 2wd?

 

[Not All There]

the 2wd sold to a friend of mine whos going to finish it and get some good use out of it. I decided to just keep my original black 4x4 and finish it. I was being spread out to thin. And the money helped pay for rent between jobs.

understandable, i was thinking maybe the money went into some parts for the cuddly little toy there, but you need a place to hang your hat. Heres to hoping the trophies start finding their way to your house.

thanks man. No money went towards the subaru, just rent and a little saved for the black ranger.

Hey NAT, did you ever swap out motors in the panda? I saw before the site went down you were putting a motor together for it.

I finished assembling the motor, and its ready to go, just deciding what I want to do for a tranny if anything. TIme has been killing me so far, just havent been able to set the car aside to drop it in yet.
