I don't recall if they stated the qualifying order but it went like this:

1-Mike Peters
2-Harri Tervola
3-Vaughn Gittin (that S14 was 10x better than his S13) and let us not forget the extra 3 qualifying runs he was granted just to make it into the event..


Harri was the ONLY driver who did not spin a single time from when we got there on Friday afternoon until we packed up sunday night.

That includes when he went off in the mud on the POS tires we had to swap last minute because the tires we qualified on took a crap.

Let's also remember that we had a fuel issue the whole weekend and were making about 350hp. I have driven this car a number of times and clutch kick is not a technique needed normally, yet listen on the ESPN video, he is having to clutch kick like a madman, first time he has ever had to do that. 2 weeks ago it leaned out on the dyno at 375rwhp. We now have about 700cc of injector per cylinder available, nad 800hp worth of turbo so 600hp+ on the dyno should be doable.

DDay4 anyone?? again not a single spin all day.

Harri's brother Hannu is even crazier, actually I think all the Ter-Tech drivers are at least a lil nuts (this includes me)

As far as the BMW going on a diet, that is priority ONE right now. 2 weeks ago on the scales it was 3200lbs dry, and 3400 with driver. We're gutting EVERYTHING not essential to holding the body together or making power. We've also got an E36 4door in the works, but yes, BubbaDrift has no weight on the rear, and 255's and still he totally walked away from us on the entry.

We want more grip, I'm thinking RE070's or A046R's might be what we need.
