Just so there is no confusion today::

Carl:
I can leave work at 2pm. That is about the earliest time I can get out of here. Please make plans accordingly if this affects anything.

See you at the Steer Ranch a 3 clicks after high noon.

:tumble weed:

So if Kevin locks the STi in full rear, that would put him in the SO2 class. Who's in favor of him doing that? :wave:

It's actually not full rear, it's full open. As in open center diff. When the rear wheels start spinning (and they do pretty easily, trust me :lol:

) the power doesn't get transferred to the front. Ends up driving a lot like Mike's BMW.

Full lock is a totally different story - I can't even do "spinning top" type scoobnuts in full lock mode; it just kinda drifts around in a big circle. The FXT locks 50/50 in 1st and 2nd and does the same thing, unless it's really wet.

I'm going to do a few runs in auto and a few runs with diff lock, and see how much difference I can feel - and whether there's a real difference in times. I'm guessing diff lock will cut a couple tenths per corner over auto mode. Probably drop a few tenths at the start, too.

... but it is still a 35/65 split. The front tires still dig.

Are you sure it is 'full open' with nothing going to the front? I didnt think that was possible with our transmissions.

Why must you insist on ruining my fun? I want him to beat up on another class so I have a chance of beating Philip and taking 1st for once. :wink:

You should have taken first overall quite a few times. The last TWO events, you had the fastest RAW time (non-rally tire). You just need to do that EVERY run.

it's like an open diff on a FWD car - one starts spinning, and what does the other one do?

:lol:

John Felstead (sp?) has covered this in one or more of his massive nasioc threads - you get the rear tires spinning and it's a drift machine until you lift (and if you do that too abruptly you're going backward)
