I did a 47.3xx today. Not too bad. Need some more seat time behind higher powered cars.

Fun day although like I expected it was a long morning but it all worked out.
Did ok, 54xxx was my best. I got lost on the entry into the last turn on my second run,DNF.
I need to install my front swaybar.
Glenn, I didn't see you run.

Pics here. I have a few of Salvatore and Pignose. Kalrton, I also have a few of your dad.

meh, i kind of drove like **** today. Better on later though. First run was just a test, the car understeered quite a bit which was annoying, I put down a 51.xx . I was told to let out 1 psi in the fronts, but that made it way worse, i got a 52 and took out like 8 cones, totally angry with myself.
I talked to a fellow subie owner and we pumped the front tires up to 38 psi and the rears to 34 psi - much better, way faster/smoother run, but i lost a lot of time by spinning out right by the finish. Need more front camber and a little less ride height in the front as well next time - and I need to watch my tire pressures. I got a 54, but that was with the spin, so I'm guessing it could have been a lot lower, 48 maybe something like that.

and nice pics 2cam16, I'll post some that I have in a bit here

Thanks,Salvator. PM me your e-mail. I have a few more taken by a friend of mine. It's in his album. Taken at the showcase turn.

My car doesnt have abs, so there are some fun ones in there with my car spewing some rubber smoke (getting pissed from understeer)

yo salvator... not sure if you looked at your sidewalls for rollover after that 3rd run. i forgot to tell you that i TOTALLY overdrive my car sometimes so that's why i run those pressures. i'd try to see what everyone else, particularly some gc owners, are running but that seems to work for me to prevent rollover. it varies from run to run for me though. i am not smooth on my inputs at all so my tires get overworked.

I'd have to bring some chalk with me next time, wouldn't be a bad idea. I actually had a little oversteer and a little understeer here and there, but overall, it was way better. I was really angry at my setup and that made a huge difference

It was good. Just a lot a power that I didn't really have experience with. Maybe a few events and I think I'll have it a little more under my control.

going softer on the rear sway bar next event.

karlton, teach me to drive. i'll pay you in... quizno's honey bacon club's?
Dude as soon as I remember how to autox i'll show you my ways lol. MMMmmmM honey bacon clubs Today was umm......interesting haha. Lots to do to my car. have to figure out some sort of fuel cut issue. No power makes Karlton unhappy. When the power did work it felt good though. Missed a bunch of apexes, coasted about half the course and ended up with a 44.0

Thanks for the pics Rob and thanks for the photos Jansen! I'm gonna go pick up some frames tomorrow for them.
