3-way fight to the death in the afternoon session for the Championship in M2.

Nothing like a little pressure.

There will also be a harsh battle for 3rd in S2, along with a few others. Will be an interesting day!

To avoid confusion (some of it my own), I never post the course map for an event until after the event prior to it is done. The map for this is ready... but, you'll have to wait a few more days to see it!

Hint: You might feel a sense of de ja vu from our season opener.

S is for "sucks"?
Or "slow"?

Not "sticky" tho'!!

I think I can beat M1 on 18th OA with an S1 car.

One on Old tires and two people with new tires.

Me with being a "tire warmer" for the "Stig" maybe.

I'd like to think BFG made these especially for the Subaru or maybe STI.

Get levered on Friday...

Wasn't there a time when snow tires WERE the hot autocross tires?

We did away with the start/finish crossover, so the hook is gone. Most of the rest is the same. The far end was stretched slightly. Should be about the same mix of tight and fast with the same mind-bending decreasing slalom on the return side. Will be a great way to wrap up this season!

Oh, here's the map...

As of this moment, there are only TWO openings in the Early Session. Get 'em while they're hot.
