That sounds like an acceptable challenge.

If 2013 means anything, Huck learns very fast. He won't struggle so much the next time he's out in the rain.

I bet he's setting up his GranTurismo rig right now for some wet racing...

I'll put $20 down that Jourdan doesn't place ahead of Huck for any future race this championship season where both attend, both finish all runs, drive their own cars (DSP GR for Jourdan and ASP STi for Huck) and have no mechanical failures.

Raw time or with an Indexed time?

I think Jourdan could give Huck a run for his money.

I can see him doing that right now too , but Huck will probably step it up quite a bit now. It would be interesting to see how things will differ once Jourdan gets his new tires in as well.

Indexed time I'm assuming. You should take Gagan's bet then.

No money. Need to pay off my loans.

It might if it rains and I don't replace those back tires.

Snap spin in the wet due to those bald rear tires was eye opening. I'll do much better in the rain next time. And once it's dry I'm going for 1st again. Takeshi and Gagan are going to be the real challenge. Maybe Glen's indexed time. I know I can beat Arvin consistently, on street tires, by 1.0-0.5 seconds.

Good luck! You definitely need to smack down those Evo drivers! And Gagan.

I love the smack talk! I can't wait for our season to start up in Reno this April.

Ah. Jourdan has nothing to lose, monetarily.

Hmmmmmmm.... Nah

You WILL go the .283 seconds faster index time you need from here on out.

Hmmm... That's quite some fine print. $20? I'll take that bet. However, I'll continue to develops my car.

Indexed. I'd be amazed if my car gets going faster than a STi in raw time.

Why? I did it all the time.

Not trying to brag... I really would be near the fastest in raw time on street tires on any given day. You have the same suspension (Koni/GR), just a little heavier car. But even when I was heavier in car, and with less tire (245s) like 5-6 years ago, I'd be faster than many other subarus on street tires.

No reason you can't raw time a turbo subaru on street tires. Just have to push yourself.

If I fail and can't get my car to round 3... Let me co-drive at Marina, and maybe we can see if your car is fast enough to straight time an STi on street tires.
