Babak's job was to warm up the tires. I believe he did a good job.

You know the old saying, good autocrossers make good track guys, but good track guys don't automatically make good autocrossers. Babak has very little autocross experience.

I hear the 2nd place car was some $300K modified GT-2 P-Car

I'd say we recieved some pretty solid Lotus representation there! Congrats Fred!

Edit- more pics please!

The Fordahl Motorsports GT2 was in 3rd (driven by Greg Fordahl). Second place was a stripped and prepped Toyota MR2 Spyder.

Great job done.

Dmbrown34 · 09-17-2008, 01:21 PM

Amazing how a Mr. 2 can go against a turbo P car and win. Wouldnt it be better to use a GT3? Im assuming that turbo boost kicking in could be enough to toss the back end out in one of the 90 turns for an autox.

However, Ive never really driven a turbo car hard...so what do i know.

PS Great job!

Was that the same yellow elise that was all cut up 2 years ago at the SD Club 111 autoX?

Yep.

The Spyder is far removed from a stock car. XP allows so many modifications.

SweetDaddyD · 09-17-2008, 01:24 PM

Wooo HOO! Congrats!

Randy Chase · 09-17-2008, 01:25 PM

By the way, the ChaseCam stickers on the car are from Chuforia. Did he win because of that? Who knows.
