[DeTomaso] quiet day

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Well, so here's the thing.  My stock coil-over Telecars are "popping."  
They basically "lock" in whatever position you put them.  There is no 
rebound, there is no "jounce," there is no porpoising, you position the 
front and it stays.  Same with some replacements that were loaned to 
me.  And I can only get about three inches of travel out of them.  The 
alignment guy last week was aghast.  So I desperately need new shocks.  
I'm saving up for some from Dennis Quella.

I'm also far from mastering Autocross.  Some days you get lucky and the 
other guys hit more cones, miss more gates and basically make you look good.

... though I did take Second place again today.  :)
