Thanks Ed , I realized I forgot it after I left . I'll pick it up I geuss at the car show gathering thanks . Oh yeah , your first run was insane I got slammed back into the seat several times ! hey , guys come on down and check-it out the scca next month ...............

 

Hey , allen if you're online pm me your user-name . Yo , peter what's up you missed out this weekend . Got to take a tour in Ed's scooby . One killer ride . It was like a bloody rollercoaster . Yee-Haw .............................

 

you be amaze, i also try to encourage subaru owners here in Oahu to test out their car control, but they ***** out, so i just stop trying...plus it's really fun...i even put a one month notice and guess what, not that much replies...i guess their scared or just baby their car....oh well....

 

I can see the scared part . So many things happen at once , braking , accelarting , cornering . It's a rush . I'm going to put on that 3-m protector before I try it . I won't be as fast as ed but , it looks fun . Watching an sti pull thru that track is amazing .

 

Actually, I can understand the nervousness/apprehension. Most people/drivers don't realize what's involved in being successful in SCCA events. Most people think that if they're pretty good drivers on the street, then they can drive well in Solo 2. It's not quite that easy.

However, as long as your main goal is to just go out and scrub some tires and have fun, then you won't put so much pressure on yourself and your driving.

The Maui SCCA is such a small and close knit group that we really don't have the competitive atmosphere of larger regions. It's all about improving your driving and having fun.

I guarantee that if a driver sticks with driving SCCA Solo 2 events long enough, their driving will improve. That's a guarantee.

The STi is such a capable car and is clearly at home on the SCCA race tracks. The car was designed to accelerate, brake and turn with some of the best cars on the road. I've got nothing against drag racing, but that really only tests one aspect of the STi (acceleration). What about the braking and turning???

 

The impression I got from the maui scca group was a bunch of individuals trying to push their cars abilities while having a blast at the same time . Everyone was very freindly and informative . It was a fun enviorment to be around . It was very different from drag racing less ego more trying to hone your driving techniques .

 

Hey all, guess a few of you guys made it down to the track on Sunday. I had a blast. Hopefully more people will show next month.

Right on , thanks for sharing pic's of the afternoon run .

 

Anybody have an idea if we're meeting-up for the car show on the 14th and 15th ? Any specific's of days agenda ? I believe Ed will be at the show already for the scca booth . Fire back any idea's , also factor in parking will be pretty tight , last year I ended parking near the bank of hawaii . thanks ................

 

My car will be in the Maui SCCA vendor booth...so I'll be at the show early Friday evening and stay pretty late Saturday so I can get my car out.

I should have a few surprises for you guys when you see my car in our booth.

 

I dunno.. I deicided not to enter the show this year bcuz my cars nothing special, but definately next year i'll be in there .. So Yeah i'm up for a GTG or a cruise before the show... or whatever..
