| I was out of it on Sunday....been battling the flu for a week.
I mounted the camera and never even turned it on.
DOH!
I'll elaborate on the instructor comment....I was more like the best friend riding shotgun while doing donuts in a field, as opposed to actually providing useful information. Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaw !!!!

| Thanks and you did good as an instructor. It was just a day for us to learn a little about how to drive rallycross and a lot about the car. We are already working on both of those things here at the plant. We were not too worried at all about our times but just having fun and learning. Thanks for riding with us and when we get the Pilot sorted some we would like for you to try it out.
We came up with a better way to control the rear diff. and not just have it on all the time pushing the front in slow speed turns. It is an adjustable system for different terrain conditions and and be shut off ,bypassed or ran in auto. We put it in yesterday and drove it a little. It is a FWD vehicle until the need for the rear diff. to come on. It also helped on starts by letting the front tires start spinning and then bring on the rear at a higher RPM and higher HP range. much the same results a higher stall speed torque converter would have. It is a very very simple system and what we had wanted to do before but ran out of time.
We made a list of the things it did good , the things it did bad, and the things it did really bad.
We are working on solutions for each. That was really the very first time the car had been in the dirt at all. We had ran it at 2 autocross events so we knew it would not fall apart but had no idea at all how it would do in the dirt. It did OK , not good but OK. Looking at a turn in 3 parts ,entry, middle and exit. it was really bad on entry(really bad) ,good in the middle and great on exit. We have a few ideas how to help the entry part.
Suspension. Well the suspension was fine for autocross but beat the crap out of us on that track. We have to raise the suspension up a few inches at the very least. Also we will soften the front suspension up and this will help the turn in understeer . We after we add a little travel we will try a few different alignment settings. We have a nice Hunter system we use so to made changes only taked 30 minutes or so.
Good for the first time out but that was all it was . There is a lot of room for improvement and we will get there.
Thanks for riding and working with us.
