For those who aren't on protourings10 here's a few pics. I raced a local auto-x event at an airfield today.

This is the first run: skip to about 45 seconds, I was waiting for the timing guy to send me and hit play to early. The start line had zero traction so it's slow out of the box. I was also feeling out the course and as you'll see at the end it was a bit slippery http://www.protourings10.com/smf/Smileys/default/grin.gif

I officially came 3rd out of 6 in the RWD class. I got beat by an MR2 that ran twice with different drivers. In raw times I was 18 out of 26 and even managed to take out 1 regular impreza and 3 WRX's (one crashed into a snow drift and DNF'd but the others were fair kills).

Today's shenanigans! This was obviously not on winter tires - I think I was hitting over 100km/h on the back section through the gates :D

For comparison here's one I took from the passenger seat of a 1st gen with stock suspension and giant winter tires.

The beast - Andrew drove the crap out of this thing! He was sideways most of the time despite the obviously huge body roll. His front tires were literally destroyed after the 8 runs (bridgestone blizzaks). Pic by GrantC

LOL there was talk of the local university engineering team taking one of their formula cars to an event but it never happened. I know it would be a shat-show but I want to try a few runs with N2O this summer. If you listen in that vid you can hear it spinning a bunch of times and that's running in second gear!
