2009 LSPR Practice Stage Greenhouse/DeRose

2009 LSPR Practice Stage Greenhouse/DeRose

One of our practice stage runs from 2009 LSPR. Deep mud=slow going in a FWD car. We started this practice run right behind Travis Pastrana. We had never heard of him before, somebody said he was pretty fast ;) ;) 4 time National champ...yeah, he's pretty fast...and a nice guy too.

2009 LSPR Brockway Mountain 2 SS16 Greenhouse/DeRose

Our second run on Brockway Mountain yielded the exact same time as the first, to the tenth of a second. I still think that the car was down on HP from 2008, but we'll do some tests in the off season to see if its running OK.

2009 LSPR Burma 2 SS15 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

2009 LSPR Burma 2 SS15 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

Our first running of Burma was a comedy of errors and our second pass down this rough stage wasn't much better. A punctured right front tire at around 3:25 made for some tense moments on the following fast downhill, and made the paved section into a nightmare of lost time.

2009 LSPR Delaware 2 SS14 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

2009 LSPR Delaware 2 SS14 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

I got a little excited at the end of the stage thinking that it was one of our best runs ever, but the clock would provide some disappointment. Faster than Delaware 1, but far from the best time on the stage. If you want to see how to hit "the delta" in a 2WD car, watch this. We nailed it. Too bad that we were only 4th fastest out of the G2 cars on Delaware 2

2009 LSPR Brockway Mountain 1 SS13 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

2009 LSPR Brockway Mountain 1 SS13 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

Last year, I very nearly killed us both on Brockway Mountain with a HUGE 360 degree spin at about the halfway point of the stage. By some miracle, we escaped without a scratch on us OR the car! This year I wanted to finish the stage free from high drama. Hurst/Bohn in the Capri were the only Group 2 team to beat us on this stage. I am quite happy with a second-fastest Group 2 stage time.

2009 LSPR Burma 1 SS12 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

2009 LSPR Burma 1 SS12 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

Confident in our abilities on narrow, twisty stages, we set about getting some of our lost time back on this stage, but it was error plagued from the start. I nearly put us off at :52. Don turned an extra page in the route book and got completely lost in the notes at 1:37 and took about 50 seconds to find his way back. Then I spun out at 4:48 but didn't hit anything (that's hard to do on Burma!) So much for making up lost time.

2009 LSPR Delaware 1 SS11 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

2009 LSPR Delaware 1 SS11 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

After comparing or Stage 10 times with some of the other competitors, we soon learned that my half-hearted efforts would not be enough and we needed to get back in the game on Delaware 1. I still showed some hesitation and our time suffered a bit, but not as bad as on Stage 10. 5th fastest on Stage 11, but not as disgraceful as the previous stage. We struggled a bit through "The Delta" and lost some time there, but worse yet for Chad Eixenberger, he lost something much more important there ...

2009 LSPR Gratiot Lake SS10 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

2009 LSPR Gratiot Lake SS10 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

Don and I started Saturday morning loose and relaxed after winning our class the night before. Unfortunately I was way too loose and relaxed and we got our butts kicked by Koll, Eixenberger, Bushore, Himes, and Hurst on this stage as I displayed a compete lack of commitment to the notes and weak driving. Not a great way to start the day.

2009 LSPR Herman (North) SS8 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

2009 LSPR Herman (North) SS8 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

Herman used to always be run southbound and during the day. In 2008 and 2009 the stage was run northbound and at night. Chad Eixenberger and I discussed that the stage is more difficult going north since the rhythm changes from fast to slow, instead of slow to fast when it is run southbound. Bryan Pepp and Jerry Stang are seen on the side of the road, and Andrew Comrie-Picard and Jeremy Wimpey are also off with a catastrophic engine failure. ACP told me later that his Evo's engine looked ...

2009 LSPR Far Point 2 part 2 SS7 Greenhouse/DeRose #319 Neon

Far Point 2 would be yet another Group 2 stage win for us. our third in a row. We were now sitting in first place with only two stages to go.
