Howdy Coupers!
As part of the antics of the first annual Rallye Monte-Diablo, we held the "The Fastest Windows of the West" contest after lunch. Those lovely examples that had to depart the rally early, well who knows, you just may 'have' the Fastest...but you'll have to wait 'til next year. :wink:
Drivers were allowed to have engines on and chose preferred door windows. Windows started from the down position, raised to complete up, then back to absolute down.
The results:
TJ (electric CSL): 9.3 sec
Terry (electric CSL): 6.9 sec
Kurt (electric CSI): 11.1 sec
Shanon (manual 2800CS): 6.8sec
So Terry's CSL (early 'sardine' motors I believe) wins the '09 electric class, and I, by default, take the manual division.
To close to truly call this year - electric vs manual...could have been operator errors with the groovy vintage mechanical stopwatch..... :wink:
Next year we'll have those Official Heuer or Omega Timer/Judge folks in their red jackets and white pants officiating....:lol:
Good times!
