Until you have 9 coefficients, then you can apply to unrestricted license and it's up to their digression, and at 18 you automatically get an unrestricted license. We are gonna run the whole 2012 season (hood counted for the first event) in open L so we can go for regional class wins
Big White in BC is next, December 2-3rd.
So A little more on Mt. Hood.
We got the engine back together at the beginning of the week, and only had to mod the intake, exhaust, and get the car tuned. We called Dom at Maxwell power, and he said he would try to fit us in between appointments he...
So Mt. Hood Rally was a great event. I'll be posting an update later, but a quick summary is we ended up third in class, and only had one mechanical problem which was easily fixed in the second service. New motor performed well, suspension felt great, and started to get a good feel for being NA.
3 easy ways...
1 push them out from the opposite side using long screwdriver or similar
2 use a metal coat hanger, and bend the end into a tight U that fits in and use it to catch the back side and give her a yank

Pretty much got the long block all together, just need to pick up new gaskets for the crossover pipe, and a new torque wrench that goes down to 5ft-lbs for the cam caps. Set the rings at .019 top and .022 2nd. Gonna try to get her back in the car by this next weekend!
Update! Today the piston's arrived, so I went and stopped by Maxwell to pick up some ARP's and gaskets. Once again Dom provided great customer service, grabbing a mixture of gaskets I needed, a cam bolt (we had to drill one out), and we talked motors for a bit. Looking forward to when we move...
Time for another update!
With the change to rally Mt. Hood to being a Rally-America sanctioned event, we decided to move up the date of our engine build, and move to Open Light class. The past couple nights after work we have pulled the motor and started disassemble. We order Wiseco 11:1...
