http://www.step2racing.com Mon, 19 Oct 2009 22:14:20 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've been more than a little lax in team updates, but we finished up the 2009 season at LSPR this weekend. It was a fun weekend, with plenty of problems. Hoping to get an update posted soon. Until then, here's a bit of in-car: SS9 - Menge Creek. This corner caught ... http://www.step2racing.com/?p=143 I finally made it back, surprised that Chad didn't updated anything here yet.  Hopefully he'll do a full recap soon with in-car. The big news for the weekend was we came in 3rd in 2wd for the weekend in the Max-Attack event, winning a prize of $1000!  It was a tough ... http://www.step2racing.com/?p=137 We set up a twitter profile just for the team that I plan on updating at the rallies we're at this year.  It should end up being the best way to keep up stage by stage with what we're up to (if we have cell coverage!) http://twitter.com/step2racing http://www.step2racing.com/?p=135 Step2Racing is currently seeking crew members for the New England Forest Rally on July 17-18. VW experience preferred, but not required. Reply with your contact info if interested. http://www.step2racing.com/?p=133 What happens when you take a rally car on a moto-x course? Air, followed by the crunch of steel hitting dirt. I was prepared for a rough event at the Gravity Park Twin Performance Rallies in Chilton Wisconsin, yesterday. I wasn't expecting quite so many jumps. The Gravity ... http://www.step2racing.com/?p=131 Step2Racing headed up to Minnesota for Nemadji I this past weekend. It was a last minute entry, as I wasn't sure the car would be ready in time. That meant Jay had made other plans so Colin stepped in to codrive for me. Colin codrove this event ... http://www.step2racing.com/?p=125 Finally got the van unloaded and started to figure out what's wrong with the car. First, some pics of what we bent/broke at 100AW: Stage 3: The tire is still holding air...I love rally tires. That caused the axle to self-machine the subframe over stages 4 and 5: My trip into the woods on Stage ... http://www.step2racing.com/?p=116 It looks like he was holding a camera. I'd love to see what pictures and/or video he took. This was "the corner" on Stage 3. I think it was about 9 miles into the stage, just a mile and a half from the finish. P.S. Thanks to all the workers, ... http://www.step2racing.com/?p=112 I went into 100 Acre Wood knowing it would be a battle. My goal for the weekend was the RRC, with a secondary goal of 2wd overall. I had no idea we’d take so many knockout punches. But, much like Rocky, we made it to the finish. Unfortunately, this was ... http://www.step2racing.com/?p=106 I'm thinking Chad will be working on videos and stuff, but just to update- Friday we finished 1st in G2 after a surprise turn and brush with tree that almost ended the rally. We go the car all repaired and other than alignment issues Saturday we did OK, with the exception of ... http://www.step2racing.com/?p=102
