#285 in STX, ran in Group 4

I ran a 43.9

Not bad for 3 working shocks

Unfortunately that only got me to 11th place, and I think there was only 1.7 seconds between me and the 1st place car. This class has become super competitve, looks like I need to get my coilover fixed pronto, and finish setting up the suspension.

What did you run?

Were you in the silverish sti with some friends?

I was just lurking today trying to get a feeling for the whole thing. I never did it before and want to get into it. I was hoping I'd run into someone to pick their brains a little so I don't make an *** out of myself out there or even worse, break something. Will you be going to the next event on the 19th?

Today was a long day. Registration took an hour, the afternoon group did not start until 2:30pm, and by the time 5th group finish, the sun is already down. I couldn't wait to get out of there and go home and watch the last quarter of Superbowl, should have stick around and check out some autox actions in the dark, haha

Despite of all of the above, the course was fun.

Unhappy

I missed yesterday's race but at least I sat out the long registration process again.
It also must've been since it was the first round and turnout must've been huge as always. I'm sure after almost everyone has been registered once, it'll settle down.
Heckler, I'm sure one of us will be glad to give you a ride. Just come up to the Scoobies ! Most of us run in STX.
I'll try to make the 19th (hhmmm....looking like STX is in the bottom part of the runs).

06 WRX is STU

I'll be out there next time probably...2005 blue WRX w/ STi wing - # 244 STX. Come say hi, my name is Matt and I'm happy to give a ride. But really, take a ride with Leo (#904) to learn how its done.

i was there, but didn't bring my subie.
i was the 1st car out on the 1st run group due to the "high tech" registration, and we actually worked for 2 hours straight for the 2nd run group

but then again, it was actually pretty fun to run the course without walking through it.

Hmmmm....STX still, Matt ?
Heckler, I'd give you a ride too but I may not be at the next event. If I am, just look for the #767STX WRB WRX.
As for joining, try it out first, maybe one of us can sign you up as a guest ? Be forwarned, IT'S ADDICTING !!!
