Don't worry - if I have any problems - I'll just ask Tanner - we sponsor his car
Although - drifting a front wheel drive car is pretty silly...
He is ranked #1... http://formulad.com/standings.php

Fox,
an easy ride to the Crest .. not the Crest offshoot in question. skip the 1st 1 min and 20 seconds.
Take a RIDE to the CREST
Next is the sort of riding that taught Stealth the value of life. My guess, these riders are pulling maybe 60 mph or a bit more, but not by much. Do watch for the knees riding the tar mat - these guys are riding at the edge of the envelope. There is no margin for gravel, animals, rocks, etc. There is a reason this 10 mile section has been declared the deadliest stretch of highway in the state of California.
The 45 mph posted is for the "straight ways" .. the loops are lower, MUCH lower .. 20 or 15 mph. I hope you dont get "motion sickness". Turn the volume up, and hang on ..
A FASTER Ride to the CREST Part 1
A FASTER RIDE .. PART 3
Couldnt find this kind of stuff for the Crest, so use yor imagination, add the cliffs, the rocks, the fence rails .. From someone that's been there ...
WHEN things GO WRONG
I am still looking for a Crest offshoot clip. The Offshoot makes that road on the clips look like child's play.

Stomper -
I think that they replaced the bushings that rotate with standard stock rubber - no squeaks - and the ones that compress with poly - so I get that extra bit of bite...
Heck - the Crest beckons - this thing sticks like glue, with the new wider tires, and the wonderful work they did on the suspension - I think I could take you...
Fox,
Do I take that as a ... hmmm .. challenge ... ?
How did stomper .. err .. got into the Crest event ?
I cant see running his 4x4 on the Crest, then again, he could
just by pass the paved road and hit it straight downhill on the dirt.
BTW, tell me that you have watched the clips above ...
This could be fun to watch

I watched, learned - and give me a couple of practice runs and I think the stickiness of the new suspension (along with new shoes - car and stilettos) would give you a pretty good race...

Don't forget your co-pilot will be sitting at the top with you waiting for him to show up eventually.

Fox,
How confident are you? enough to give up the time handicap ? Is the key phrase here "I Think" ... ?
The suspension mods are a sure and excellent step on the challenge as those will do more for you than horse power, at the Crest offshot. HP is always nice, as long as you know when to call on it and when to hold back.
Do you have nerves of steel and icy emotions (no fear) ? I get a feeling that Gary, just like myself, have experienced the thrills of seriously putting a bike down in the past. That goes a long way on building nerves of steel. Have you?
I will take you there, as many days in advance as you like - you can take as many practice runs as you can afford. Do bring plastic, you may need new tires after a few runs. Remember, you be going UPHILL all the way, FWD trying to break free, traction control computer trying to shut you down (mine dont have such a computer) .. I know it can be disabled, learn how, then you can test the track both ways .. I'm not sure if the disable is for seconds or for the duration of the run .. see? I'm even trying to help you win.
Traction disable: FSM 5E2-5, "PCM OVERRIDE", "PS24
Something tells me that you can now give Gary's mystical Vette a run for his money.
BTW, did i mention that you CANNOT have a copilot, you cannot run against another car .. .. legalize sort of stuff.
