Subject: Stormer Puts the Civic in the 8's at the IFO September 15th 2011, 11:42 pm
Montana boys, representing the 406 in Washington state!
Lot's of struggling and broken stuff as the car evolved over the last 3+ years. This particular weekend at the IFO, everything came together and I ran 5 passes all of them 8.7-8.8. Got to skip the 9's completely. WHOHOO!!!!
Truly, Thanks to everybody at the Speedfactory, nobody can do these kinds of things without good support and I'm grateful to the whole crew.
Here's the glory slip. and all 5 passes from Sunday. Thanks to everybody that's been so kind and offered up words of encouragement and support over the years. I'll post up some pics and vids as I find and get them knocked out.
Sundays passes are marked 9/4/2011

Holy @#$% Bob, grats on that, 8s in anything is an accomplishment, through wrong-wheel-drive it is amazing in my book. Glad to see the hard work and trial / error pay off for you. You really should bring that thing to Acton once (probably require some retuning, is that why you haven't yet?) and show it off to us "local" guys and gals.
Again, congrats!!

I think all of us were just as excited as the SpeedFactory crew when we saw you run 8's your first pass.
Congratulations again Bob. Its always a pleasure chatting with you and seeing you race any of your cars.
As was stated before, you need to come change that Sport Compact record at Acton
