Well, we gave it the old college try! They kicked us out of the dealership before we were done. We ran into some issues with the clutch and timing and could not finish the job.
I was in the same situation last year and rushed to install my front diff the day of the event and ended up grenading the transfer case. We are going to give up running in SM and shoot for XP on Thursday and Friday.

I was able to fix Jake's Evo. Runs like a champ now. Thanks for the tip on the seat bolts - worked like a charm!

Thanks Steve! I'm glad to hear about Jake's car. I may just take you up on your offer to help. We need all the hands we can get to pull the tranny and also fix the timing issue. We are at the far NorthWest corner of the lot in the black and silver Motorhome. I'm still in KC, but I'm leaving right now for Topeka.

And if we can't get the STI running, you can settle for XP #55, the 2.5 RS sitting in my garage. Other than bolting up the rear camber plates and some 110 in the tank, she's ready to roll.

well finished up today, sm seems like quite the evo class,
Mark is #1 by .1 seconds, sias is 2 and his codriver is 3 then it is mostly evo's in the top places except for some hondas. Clayton was only a few tenths off of jarrod clayton has a 44.3 clean and jarrod was a 43.6? if clayton hadnt misshifted, he would be right up there. I think the bsp evo is 4th and jarrods codriver is 5th with jarrod 6th or so?
as for me i am way back in 16th place with a time of 46.3 out of 23 cars and am just out to have fun tomorrow, i am truely outclassed driver wise at a national level.
good luck to everyone tomorrow, get some trophy's!

Tage is 3rd behind Sias with Lieber 4th, then you have one of the Honda guys at 5th. From 6th-10th, it's very tight within .2s with Sias' co-driver, Jarrod, and some other guys.
My first run with cold tires had a raw time good enough for 10th, but then I didn't improve over the next 2 runs due to poor driving on #2 and then the huge misshift (2-1 instead of 2-3) at the end of #3, but at least it was clean. That 44.3 may have been anywhere from 43.3-43.6, I guess, since I went to first and slowed way down on the fastest part of the course, but woulda coulda shoulda.

Yep, Riley is doing great considering being fairly new to this. Clayton is doing awesome for his 1st time at Nats.
I bet if you ask eveyone in our class, 90% will say they didn't drive as well as they could have. There are a couple guys who said they ran awesome and couldn't do much better, but the majority of us know there was time left out on the course for one reason or another.
Tomorrow is another day to do it all over again and try to keep improving. Last year I was in 6th after the first day and fell back to 9th on the 2nd day. Hopefully I can do better this year. We'll see how it all plays out tomorrow. Good luck to everyone!

Congratulations on 3rd place, Jarrod! You moved 3 places in the right direction this time! :-)
