Hi Everyone,
\nWe are back from the rally, Good news.<\/p>\n

Tony Chavez in his GVR-4 Rally car\u00a0won his first Pro
\nRally over all. He has won his class before in his old
\nGolf and FWD Eclipse but this is his first overall win.<\/p>\n

On the first leg (three stages) up the mountain to Mt
\nWilson, Chavez\u00a0 lost a little time with a loose I\/C hose.
\nHe was 30 seconds behind Lauchlin O’Sullivan in an
\nAudi Quattro. Ron Wood (Audi Quattro) broke
\na rear axle and had to go on with 3WD. Rui Brasil’s
\nAudi Quattro hit something and lost a lot of time driving
\nwith about 5″ of toe-in.<\/p>\n

On the way back down the mountain Chavez won
\nevery stage. There was a lot of hugging and kissing
\ngoing on when he got in and realized he had won.<\/p>\n

Chavez is now running 2G 8.5 pistons, a 2G ported head
\non a early 1G motor, a 1.6 Mirage Turbo intake manifold
\n(2G size w\/1G coil mounting) and 1G automatic cams.
\nHe has a VPC\/AFC, 550cc injector combo with a
\nTDO-5 16G 8cm turbo. He uses a Starion I\/C. We tried
\nto set it up as the ultimate all around bottom end-top
\nend motor.<\/p>\n

Paul Timmerman’s 323 GTX broke the transmission on the
\nfirst stage. Possibly it was damaged 2 weeks ago when
\nhe rolled the car testing.<\/p>\n

Bruce Brown’s 323 GTX ran fine with no problems and
\nhe finished 3rd in AWD Open class.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Bruce was really proud of his Rally Bag<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Robert Garcia ran his FWD Laser\u00a0with Tony Vu as his
\nNavigator. When he came into the service area, Tony
\nlooked glad just to be alive. The front of Robert’s
\nbumper was smashed into the skid plate so I asked
\nRobert what he hit. “Everything” he said. I guess they
\nspent some time stuck on a berm almost hanging over
\na big drop off. Some workers helped get them going
\nagain. Robert finished 3rd in 2WD Open class even with
\ngetting stuck.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Robert Tallini hurt his back at work and was not able to
\ndrive his Corolla GTS. Lu Ryba (he does a lot of the
\nfabrication here at the shop) rented the car for his first
\ntime rallying. He has a lot of experience in SCCA Pro
\nRacing and IMSA road racing, this was his first time
\nplaying in the dirt. His wife navigated for him but got
\ncar sick on the 3rd stage. He lost some time driving
\nsolo and ended up with a respectable 2nd in 2WD open.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Robert Shibao got booted out of Stock class because
\nthe guy that owned the car before him had installed an
\nadjustable rear brake bias control. That meant he had
\nto run his Mazda GLC against RX-7s, Robert’s FWD
\nLaser Turbo, 1.6 Corolla GTS’s, and a Saab Turbo.
\nWell Robert must turn into some kind of Incredible
\nHulk when he drives because he ended up with 1st in
\n2WD open class. This is a 1.5 liter, carbureted, 8 valve
\nold POS ! The only mods he has is a head he ported him
\nself here at the shop, a Mutiny cam, and a straight
\nexhaust. His navigator Matt must have been pedaling too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWe ended up with 1st and 4th in 4wd Open Class
\nand a 1st, 2nd, 3rd sweep in 2WD.<\/p>\n
