I have a set of semi-truck air horns with a quick connect. Just need a tank full of air.

How about an air horn to signal flag changes for those of us dozing off...???
Not a bad idea. Anybody have one they can bring?
There's a whistle in the motor home....... you just have to be able to blow real hard..............

Maybe you can handle the blowing part Rick.
In the meantime, does the motorhome have a horn that works?
Does anyone know if we have liner in the CTV?

There was maybe 10-12 1lb bags only.
Maybe we could start vacuuming up the course after the event and reusing it......

Wow! looks like warp speed to me. Both the car and your driving have come a long way this year. I think you and the Larssons make a good team.

Man, the car drives so well.. it's awesome. Number 1 secret though is DON'T SLOW DOWN, we can't compete with the Berrymobile on ability to get back up to speed.. so just don't slow down any more than is absolutely necessary!Number 2 secret is, commit to your corners and exits early, if you turn in at the wrong time or get on the gas late you've just ruined your lap. I'm still working on these a lot, it's where Toby beats me according to the data. Data says i lost almost a second to Toby, in the following acceleration zone, because I didn't get on the gas soon enough coming out of the hairpin.
here's Toby's fast one:

Actually the turn out may be due to the economy

I probably would have snapped if not for racing }:)

I love the "come on" come on"'s, as you start to accelerate after the slow corners.
How do you think the rest of us feel with less power than your car????
