some pictures from hyperfest July 10

[Dado]

Definitely by far the best event of the year yet with non stop fun. We were running around all day since I was entered on the drifting contest and Hyper Drive so we had to keep making adjustments on the car such as changing from slicks to street tires for drifting.

Sadly I had problems with the car on both qualifying runs. On the first run the car was misfiring a bit (time to change plugs), and on the second run the Active Autowerkes rear lower control arm snapped in half. I was able to hold the drift for a bit but on the last right hander going uphill at 100mph I lost it coming very close to the wall. This was the end of the weekend for us but I would just like to thank Roger, John, and Gio for helping me out that weekend. I just wish we had an extra camber arm that day Time to look for something stronger.

I would also like to give props to Chris Cobetto and everyone involved on organizing this event. It was HUGE, so many things happened at this event just unbelievable. I can't even remember all of them but there was a drifting contest, drivers school, drifting drivers school, gts challenge, honda challenge, spec miata, spec e30, rollover contest, huge fireworks, and much more. Oh and also congratulations to Matt for winning the drifting contest.

Here are some pics

did the control arm just break by itself?

Sounds like it broke during a drift.
