6/12/05 AutoX @ FedEx
Well, I don't have the results yet....thought I'd post some pics. This month's course was almost "scary" fast! I definitely have some "tuning" to do - the car now has "on request" oversteer at speed.
 I was actually dropping the front tire pressure between runs to try to reduce it  -Bill p.s. photos provided by "Austin the Action Photographer"  p.p.s anyone know how to get the images to show up within this post? http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...Ride/27164.jpg http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...Ride/27163.jpg http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...Ride/27165.jpg http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...Ride/27166.jpg http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...Ride/27167.jpg

Is that suspension stock? Seems to be really stiff in the rear compared to mine.

His suspension is the 'JDM stock' set-up! He has Mychailo's sport springs, koni inserts, and last I checked a thicker than USDM stock rear sway bar. Needless to say, Bill's car corners like it's on rails!  -Chike

That wasn't the only autox going on yesterday:
.jpg) The photographer said the pics of my car weren't too exciting because it sits so flat in the corners.

Well, Mr. Garfield was back again - kicking butt and taking names - he had the fastest PAX time of the day. I was able to keep to my goal of being in the top 10 of my class...weird thing is that I don't remember hitting any cones, but then again the back end was flying around on me so fast that it might have caught them
-Bill (definitely going to shoot for keeping all four wheels on the ground next time...) p.s. I'm really getting tired of MINI Coopers..... p.p.s I will catch that SE-R next time... p.p.p.s I PAX'ed in at 121 out of 230 drivers....the 63.310 run would have put me at 79th!!

Of course, it's all relative. I don't get mad at somebody running in my class illegally unless they're beating me. And even then, I've got to feel pretty confident in how I drove that day. So far I still have a lot to learn. In most cases I tell myself that I should have beaten the guy even if he was cheating.
