Default Re: project rally america open light sti UPDATE 1ST STAGE RALLY COMPLETE

Pics and vids from the Gravity Park Twin Performance Rallies
ten 2 mile long stages along a motox track, farm field, and dirt oval. it was very tough on the car and I cut an R2 too close on the first stage and ended up on a bad section of whoops. bent the front subframe, the endblocks of the frame rails, the radiator core supports, some of the front sheetmetal around the headlights, headlight mounts and cracked the radiator tabs
I gave my crew chief a 30D and 70-200 F2.8L and some basic instructions. he got some nice shots and I edited them

8NsiphQ5kKI

first run - bogging badly at lower rpm's (the engine is an ej257 minus turbo with 11:1 pistons but it still has turbo cams and bogs badly under 5000 rpm's - the 6spd gearing made for a crappy day running on a motox track)
8NsiphQ5kKI

later run, got the revs a bit higher on this one
