I noticed you had your car hooked behind a Honda SUV when you went to Thunderhill; didn't it tow very well?
I'm curious as I'm going to buy something to tow with when my yellow van 'dies' :-/.

Yes I had the girlfriends Ridgeline, Made it down and back with no issues other than a tranny fluid change when I got back , Im using it again for Seattle but it will not be availiable for the Portland race. Good little truck with a 5000lb tow capacity so it does my stuff just fine , but would struggle with larger equipment

Thanks; so it would be fine for a FFord with open/lighter trailer?
Why was fluid change necessary?

the tranny fluid had a bit of abuse climbing the hills of northern California so I thought it would be best to freshin up the fluid. Don't know when it was done last.

the other thing about the ridgeline is the bed is a tad small, my tents have to go in on an angle to fit, would be nice if the bed was 6" longer.

I read some results from GTL; looks like you're doing OK in SCCA.
Good for you, what's up with 'Big Bucks' he's not doing so well?

Paul is sorting out his dry setup , he actually got a first place in the rain. He may need to take some wieght off the car and make a few minor changes.
Im doing OK, despite a few minor setbacks from a B-spec and a Sound meter
