I had come close to winning the Grand Valley 300 with the GTO '95 MR once before, but could only have managed second. |
So I really hoped to win it this time. I wanted it to be a good win, so when the first field came up with an Impreza as the best car, I attempted to qualify (coming 6th with only 1:49.958 ) and exited to re-enter and then got a better field. |

I jumped to an early lead, but lost the lead at the 2nd hairpin as I lost control, but I regained the lead by lap 2. |
I dropped to second on my pit stop at lap 10, but soon caught and passed the GTO twinturbo. |
By lap 15 I lapped the first cars. |
I had a very bad second shift, but still lengthened my lead a little, so that I was just barely able to retain my lead on the road as I exited the pits, and recovered with a really strong next shift. |
I lapped the Primera on lap 40, but it didn't stick, though of course I lapped it again soon after. |
A similar series of events ensued when lapping the Subaru Impreza around lap 50. Of course, I did not lap the GTO twinturbo. |
I won Cr300,000, and a black/green Castrol Supra GT. |
I saved the setting too. All the parts were maxed, that is, in particular, I used a racing exhaust, not semi-racing (semi-racing sometimes seems to help give better pickup to highly-turbocharged engines). Similarly, I also used a racing flywheel. |

I did record all sixty lap times, but will not enter them at this time, but might do later if I feel like it. |
Actually, I quite likely will, since analysis of the speed during various shifts might be interesting. |
At least now I can say I'm mostly caught up. |
