Team WTF?! - Ron Katona Memorial Northeast Divisional Championship

(Updated Tuesday, August 2, 7:15pm)

Team WTF?! made some strong showings at the Ron Katona Memorial Northeast Divisional Championship hosted by the WDCR Region this past weekend hand had some real WTF?! moments to boot.

The standout performance was turned in by bren who drove the tires off on Sunday his ASP M3 to take second place behind Sam Strano after sitting in fourth at the end of Saturday's competition.

JohnV won B Stock in the RX-8. Clyde drove the same car to second place leaving a larger margin than he would have liked. Then again, he could have driven like Nick (with or without brakes...doesn't matter) or had to scrub the event like JST, PInecone and BahnBaum.

JohnV and Clyde thought that Saturday morning between the walkthrough and driver's meeting would be a good time to install their newly acquired TeamRX8 front sway bar. Um, well, maybe not. As it turned out, they were lucky to finish and get the car to grid in what they thought was the nick of time to drive the fourth heat.

Sunday morning, Nick demonstrated the incredible frailty of Harbor Freight tools when all he had to do was look at a C-clamp that was about to be used in his brake pad replacement job for it to break into two parts. In an effort to avoid a repeat of a recent fuel starvation issue, JohnV and Clyde took the RX-8 to a gas station (with numbers, decals, V710s and copious amounts of cone juice still on) to fill up a few gallons. Only through sheer luck and deft precision driving skills, were they able to avoid being shanghaied into a custom car show at the Autozone next door to the gas station. :eek
