Hyde got his ass kicked. Duryea Hill Climb
Wow .... what a day.
There were only Fabio and I battling it out for honors in SM2. We both left Day 1 with best wet conditions times of 149 seconds. The record for SM2, set by Fabio last year, was 132.8 sec. We got three runs in today and it was day of me throwing out rights and Fabio countering with left/right combinations that left Hyde beat up by running  Round 1 ding, ding I decided to attack the hill today and I went all out as much as I felt comfortable for my first real pass: 134 seconds.  .... within 1.2 seconds of the hill record.Fabio met me at the top of the hill with an inspiring 131! ... new hill record. Round 2 ding, ding One of the big spots I lacked courage, I decided to commit a bit more throttle to it and I reaped the benefits: 132.2 beating Fabio's previous hill record. Fabio, in his typical style attacked the hill like the veteran driver he is and banged out a 129.02 second pass!! To give some perspective, only 13 people in history have done Duryea in under 120 (2 minutes). Round 3 ding, ding I made a few decisions on this run: 1. I was going to take turn 3 casual. Up to this point, I kept throwing the rear end out there because it was (a) fun, (b) major spectator area and (c) my head was up my butt about getting the best time possible! 2. I was going to go faster through turn 6 (fondly known as "oh crap" ~ where Fabio, and many others, have lost there cars in the past). 3. I was going to keep my foot in it longer and harder at the top of the hill going across the ridge (long pseudo-straightway) When I shut the car down up top, that was the first time I have scared myself with my own driving in quite a while. I was physcially shaking ... scarry stuff. I have in car video that I will be uploading at some point. Hyde was skipping across the top of the ridge like a stone across water and this was all well above 100 mph. I thought maybe ... just maybe I might have graced the 130 range. To my pleasure I actually managed a 129.4 sec pass!! Absolutely amazing. Fabio ... man this guy ... his tires ... his experience ... his kahoonas .... he banged out a 127.9!!!!!!!!! 1st place and new hill record for SM2! Next week I am back to the drag strip for a NOPI double-header at ATCO Raceway in NJ. Hyde just keeps tickin', even after Fabio gives him a serious lickin'. VIDEO COMING SOON ~ by Monday morning at the latest Other results: There were 108 drivers. Raw times: Fabio was #11, I was #12 The only other faster street car was a Porsche 996 that ran a blistering 126.5! The other 10 cars were open wheel race cars. There wer several open wheel race cars that Fabio & I beat bad :evillaugh Other MR2s: 145.707 Alvey Ford (72 years old in a 88 SC!) 151.576 Dan Ryne 88 MR2 NA 182.742 Trudy Robertson (in Dan's car) 88 MR2 NA 142.136 Glann Hoffman in an ITA MK1 FTD: 116.460 a GT2 car dreiven by Merlin Miller.

Now since you beat his old record all you need is a flux capacitor and beat him last year. I have a slighty used capacitor if your interested. I've only used it once or twice to get future info on sports scores for my bets.
BTW who is Fabio. The way you are talking about him sounds like he is famous. Should I have heard of him?

Video below ...
Fabio is a good friend of mine and fellow MR2 enthusiast. I copy/pasted my "big post" from the MR2 board where he is known ... sorry for tke lack of explanation above. If you go to my Site, and go to Updates and look down the page for Fabio, you will see a page of him and his 2 MR2s. He has the hill record for most of the hill climbs in the series. There is an in-car video of him rolling his MR2 @ 110 mph during a hillclimb on that page!! (this video is not a big download) That was 3 years ago and he walked away Without a scratch. MY IN-CAR VIDEO WARNING ~ 19 MEG DOWNLOAD It is the whole 2 minute, 9 second run. On dial up, it may take close to 2 hours to download. In car Video here: http://www.jekylhyderacing.com/HydePhotos.htm

Re: Hyde got his ass kicked. Duryea Hill Climb
That was with the intake manifold.
Fabio is a great friend. You have to realize he has been racing on that hill for 5 seasons now. This is my first time. I can't explain the challenge of racing on a road at 110 mph+ that is not straight. Also, he was on sticky autocross tires. I was on my normal street tires. It was a fair fight (expereince & tires against HP) and he won. I have drag raced him many times. He has a white 93T MR2 and a yellow 91T MR2. Here is a photo of me drag racing his white 91T. The blue you see behind my car on the ground is the 60' line IIRC, I ran 12.2 and he went 14.2  You can see more pics and stuff of his cars here: http://www.jekylhyderacing.com/fabio.htm
