Our buddy Jarda (the guy with the blue Impreza from the airfield vids) likes *****, so we got him some toys.

Getting the car dialed in on tarmac...the brakes were set-up for loose, low-traction surfaces so the pads weren't quite up to duty for pavement where the car had much more grip and higher entrance speed to all the turns.

No Subaru updates at the moment, but our buddy Jan in his Turbology-powered EVO did take first place at a recent hill climb.

Out with the black, in with the blue! Slight change in livery for the summer.

First event with the face-lift...my buddy played to the crowd with tons of e-brake slides through corners and still placed 7th overall, so the car is really starting to get sorted out properly.

Sorry for the other sleds, but there are a few good sequences of us in there...

Such a facelift I can't recognize you guys. Cool line up of cars though. Love the smoke pumpin' TDI.

You and me both - first time I saw the new paint I asked him who the hotshot in the blue Impreza was hahaha!

He said that TDI cooks because it's very light and has mega torque.

Hahaha I forgot all about this. What does supermoto racing have to do with Subaru?! Not much...usually.

While I was in Europe, my friend and I entered Rally Pardubice which is a sanctioned event of the Central European Rally Championship.

Rallye Pardubice

eWRC.cz - 9. Rallye Železné hory 2010 - komentář

We weren't expecting too much as the Impreza is giving up substantial power to the series-leading EVOs, we're on a stock transmission compared to the dog boxes and lastly, haha, we've never driven in a rally before so it was my first time reading stage notes (in Czech none the less).

Anyhow, we didn't wreck and we finished 9th overall out of 97 entries and 7th in our class! Needless to say, we are both pretty stoked and I cannot encourage all of you enough to try rallying if you ever have the opportunity - it's an incredible adrenalin rush!

They messed up my name, but I could care less compared to how freaking awesome this was.

Thanks so much, can't wait to get the Hewland and DCCD controller installed - should be a different ball game thereafter!
