Who was that with the RHD Green Impreza, with Gold BBS' that thing was sweet!!!! I wish I would have taken time to talk to the fellow suby owners out there this weekend. Was really busy tearing apart our race car, and putting it back together. Maybe next time I will be able to make some time to be able to talk to you guys that make it out there. I will be to the next event in July I guess, we will be racing World Challenge at Sears the same weekend as Reno/Fernly, hope to see you guys in July

This weekend was a blast at T. Hill. My brother an I have around 6hrs worth of video. We are going to start to watch it and download on our computers. In a week or two we will have finished editing it and I will post some of the videos.

#13 was a Silver wagon that spun on turn 9 and went into one of the few tirewalls at Thunderhill. I was right behind him when he spun. His car had lots of power, my STi was only marginally faster acceleration wise, but he was still running on stock RE92. His tires started to give on the track-out portion of turn 9, he panicked and lifted hard causing him to spin.

I have taken a look of the film footage from that session. The video camera was setup in reverse for that session, though you can start to hear him loose it with lots of tires screeching. Then as I pass you see a whole bunch of dust an him sitting aginst the tirewall.

My brother also caught the Porsche Cayman's violent spin coming out of turn 15. Overall the footage looks good, though audio isn't great, (too much wind noise).

What is a good place to host videos because I really don't want to kill my DSL line. Once I find a good place to host the videos I will make a new thread in the video section and post the links there.

I have the first of numerous videos to put up. This one was taken by a friend who we were hanging out with. He is in a CRX coming around turn 14/15 and and STi passes him then the STi spins.
