Hyperfest Rallysprint 2012
Saturday, June 16, 2012
Hyperfest at Summit Point, WV this year was a repeat of last year’s successful format. Saturday was spent giving rides in our rally cars to fans attending the event. During the day one of the stock top mounts failed and we swapped in our spare DMS strut. We’d previously moved to Hotbits suspension because the DMS design was prone to failure.
The rallysprint proper was held on Sunday and Matt Smith was my codriver for the day. Unfortunately but not unexpectedly, the DMS strut did actually fail on our last run and we suffered a DNF.
Since we’ve had several problems with the stock top mounts I decided it was time to upgrade and after the event I ordered heavy duty, adjustable, spherical bearing top mounts and two new dampers from Hotbits.
