Figured the club would like to see some more pics of Talon's racing on ice. Of the three that entered this year, none of us had a favourable ending. The first two you can see their demise, and by now most of you know about my thefts. Straw that broke the camels back was my HG.

Incredible pictures, thanks much for posting!

That second one of the car still driving and on fire is pretty amazing!!

Excellent pictures! Looks like it was a blast!

Thanks guys. I can't take credit for the pictures, it was a photographer Jim McGlade. It sure "was" fun until I had to bust out my back up rig. Not sure if you know what the difference between >250hp and <79hp feels like, but here's what it looks like. (I shouldn't look at these pics while eating my lunch )

so this is where all the 1g's go before they hit junkyard. Nice pictures! especially the one with the Talon on fire.

Beautiful, this is what DSM's are meant for!

is that a subaru gusty!?

Nope, not a Justy but there are 2-3 of them racing quite competitively. Fast little buggers with 3 cyl.

Mine's a 1983 Subaru GL

I love the talon on its roof. =]

looks like the first 1G suffers from that mis-aligned door

very funny pics

Wow that looks like fun!! Do you know what happened to the one that burst into flames?

I think he mentioned the head gasket went ?

If I read it right, the HG went on his car and it was the other two DSMs that had a worse ending (fire & flip).

Sorry, I didnt read that. My bad But yes flipping the car also sucks!!

The unconfirmed story on the fireball talon was the oil line to the turbo burst.

There was a girl last year in a red Talon who did a few laps with fire under the hood too right?

I know you guys want nothing to do with winter but I just got these videos finished and found a site to host them. Enjoy.

Preparation and 1st Weekend
Best Race Ever

sick video two thumbs up - looks like a lot of fun

cool videos specially the second one.

I think that might have been Ashley Taws...Had a FWD for a very short time.

Great vid...I'm kinda missing it.

Curious, do you launch in 2nd or 1st? I found with the Talon I had 2nd gear gave fantastic starts.

nice vid

Come back Tashko. I need you!!

I definitely launch in 1st gear. Based on the lead I have going into turn 1 you'll agree. I run the rest of the race in 2nd. Clutch cable needs adjustments - pick up too low - and the shifter is a bit stiff so I missed a few shifts into 3rd during critical drag races down the straight. So I only dipped into 3rd after studded cars and when my SAFC got stolen to try and stay out of bonkers boost zone. In the "Best Race" you can hear the blow off valve chirping going into turn 1 during the first 8-10 laps but once I was in first I laid off to conserve what little coolant I had left. Hence, this video...

I was messing with some new video software last night and threw this quick little number together (Hot For You). It's primitive and cheesy, but it does feature a DSM...

Thanks for your support guys.

Nice pics and I love your videos
