Re: Shokan blows and ESPN2

    Sarge,

    Yes, Shokan blows!  I've had to send parts back to them 2-3 times before
they got it right and they sell junk and pass it off as used parts.  I would
throw away most of the stuff they try to sell.

     On another note.  Last week I was watching ESPN2 and happened to see
Sprongol fly by in the Audi S2 and I was like, Cool, I'll watch this.  It was
ESPN2's coverage of the Maine Forest Rally.  And, Sprongol won it!  I don't
know what rally you were watching where his motor blows up.  BTW, it was really
cool because Frank's clutch in the S2 was pretty much dead, but they made it
work the MacGuyver method.  They poured Coke and baking soda in the clutch to
get it "sticky" and it worked!  They finnished, and finnished first!

     Congrats to Sprongol and Team Audi, although I know that event was a while
back.  First time I'd seen it tho.  The Prescott Rally will be airing in Nov!
Can't wait for it!  Anyone getting these on video???  I'd pay for a compilation
of the '97 ESPN2 coverage of the SCCA Pro Rally circuit.  Sorry, no VCR here
or I'd do it myself!

     Also, to those of you wanting to catch when these events will be airing
on ESPN2 (Mt Washington Hillclimb was mentioned), check out ESPN's web site at
http://www.espnet.com (or something like that).  It's been a while since I
checked it, but they have a complete listing of when things will be airing on
ESPN and ESPN2 in the next month!  If I get some extra time I'll post the dates
to the list.

     Hope this helps!

     Later,
     Dan
