Yea, Huck and I saw that from on the track. The hood really got some good air time!

Edit:

So the results are up on the website, and they have my class wrong on the spreadsheet. I've emailed Pat (whom is says to contact at the bottom of the results) but is there anything else I should do? They have my class as STS and I was running OSP. Pretty big difference if I am not mistaken.

Great LOOOOOONG day haha. Boondoggle is always a clusterf$#%. Great course though, and I had a bunch of fun. Too bad afternoon didnt get 4 runs like the morning though. But better 3 runs than running in the dark haha

From what I hear Justin might've blown ANOTHER turbo....

Finally got a good look at your car and I want a set of your flares. I'll send you a PM about them.

They look SO good.

flares on the silver STI did look awesome. They ended up sticking me in Novice ST and there's only 4 other cars in that class. Seems like there's Subaru's in both the regular novice class and novice st. Not sure how some of the classes work yet.

How wide are your wheels now? They looked to be 18x11 or so about +10?
