Mt. Wasington in 4Q



Bob, You need to look into preparation and entry fee if you are not 
kidding. By the time you are done with all that you may be prepared to 
rally. You will learn much more. I realised how much one must know for 
runs like Mt Washington after I took several rally schools in England.
You have to master Ruino Altonen's technique of pendulum turning and 
because there is no warning of turns to come you need get the car loose 
before most turns to be able to rederect the car quicker. This requires 
much practice which you can get only if you rally or own vast estate, 
like Henry Joy, or go to rally schools. John Buffum doesn't teach driving 
 any more. You can try Tim O'Neal or Bob Eliot , but that is costly if at 
all possible. I built a new rally car this year. It is 1990 Celica 
AllTrack. Because of my parts connection and large investment it turned 
out great. It will run May 9 at Ski Sawmill rally in PA. I considered 
building Audi but that is nearly impossible to do it properly because 
Audi Motorsport doesn't want aneone to do it. My Toyota is better than 
any home built and many professionaly built rally Audi cars because 
Toyota Motorsport shared with me their info and sold me parts. I alsow 
found 
a great fabrication shop that made it all possible. It will take long 
time to learn to drive, but I will get there some day.
