Smile Finally got my wheels to break loose!!

Unfortunatley I ran over the curb and went into some bushes... it was raining, I made a right turn and punched it in 2nd. Everything was sweet until boost really kicked in and the rear broke loose. It was even more fun until I got sideways, banged over the curb and went into some bushes. This is what happens when you are a noob.
Only visible damage is a ding on the wheel but I guess that I need to get under and and check it out. Hopefully everything checks out and all I need is an alignment. Wish that there was some off roady place to have some fun and not crash into concrete.

An HPDE, a High Performance Driving Event, allows you to drive your own personal car on a sanctioned road course. Most events feature instructors for one-on-one attention. Here's one such organization (there are several around the country), NASA, in which you can participate.

Driving fast on road courses is better, faster, safer!

This type of driving venue is really popular in CA because we have so many road courses here. I've seen folks drive everything from near stock 1.6 liter Imprezas to modded STis, and they all have fun!
