I'll be out there testing the new setup on the STi, but if any I-clubbers would like some instruction on track, send me a pm or get in contact with me. GSMotorsports@aol.com

David - what group do you run in? I'll be in 3 and wouldn't mind a little constructive criticism. I've only been on Infineon 3 times and rode once with an instructor in his Catherham Super 7. Those things are freakin' crazy.

And still a tad bit banged up in the rear... assuming we ignore that little fact, maybe you should have spent some money on handling mods instead of tinting and a loud exhaust.

HAHA, there will be some truth to this.
I usually take the GX470 out during the lunchtime sessions just for fun. I was following Vishnu_Evo8 from EvoM/NorcalEvo with the truck... it was tons of fun...

Sounds like all the more reason to get out there and drive. I don't understand why people feel they need to bring their cars to HPDE all modded out. The point is learning to drive. If you aren't comfortable in a stock suspended car, you might actually be dangerous and won't learn a thing in a car that is modified for better handling. Might sound strange, but the limits are much higher, so once you finally reach them you won't know what to do whereas if you got comfortable with your car at lower limits, you would, and then you would appreciate and notice the upgrades MUCH more.
