I won my class (STO6). I was middle of the pack as usual. 22 of 44. I beat all the cars I should have and some I shouldn't have, but it's more of the same. I need a swaybar and better tires to move up at all I think.

How'd the WRX do? I've been wanting to see one autocross.

Also, I think I'll be at the last one on the 16th. We should try to get everyone to come for a blowout

OOH! OOH! I worked a corner with the owner of the WRX. He says it understeers a lot and he's still getting used to it after having a mazdaspeed 3 as his previous car, so he's not as fast as he could have been.

I beat the Jetta VR6 and the MG MGB :D I am pleased. The guy with the Jetta has been doing this as long as I have, and he has lowering springs. The guy with the MG looked like he was having the same issue I was— cold tires weren't hooking up and just spun all the power away out of the corners.
