Default TERCEL1: Life in the fast lane...

On the way to the track yesterday, as I drove along Rt. 198 in Laurel, MD, I
had a deja vu as I overtook a vision of TERCEL1, from months gone
by...



Lots of folks out at Capitol on a summer-like evening (temps up here were
in the 80s) but, despite the crowd, I managed 8 passes in TERCEL1 and,
despite the HEAT, TERCEL1 posted it's quickest, to date, ET!



... back in the staging lanes, the spectators gathered 'round, "THIS ran a 13.8!?!?"



"Yes, it DID!" :

PS: I think I was on my way to "The Perfect Pass" in #048 but, because of
driver error (shifting from 1st to 2nd), we'll never know...

seriously, i have the same comments with my 1994 tercel 4 door. The car looks ready for the crusher but beats G35, audi A3, WRX's, swapped civics at the track. In the paddocks, people come to me and ask:'' what you have in there???'' Laughs every time.

Keep it fast, it surprises people for sure...the sleeper way!
