Considering purchasing a 15+ WRX, anyone registered with one at this event that would offer a co-drive?

The newer guys haven't seen me out in awhile but I have 10 yrs+ experience and won't abuse your equipment.

I'll cover your entry fee. :thumbwink:

Charles is among the oldest of the FAST OG. He's alright for a chump that doesn't show up any more.

Well, No. But it was on a flat bed once.....just like my RX-8 when the fan belt sawed thru the coil wire @ SCCA event and shorted out the "stolen" ECU command.

BUT, like the Fastiva I fixed that issue permanently. Go Fastiva. My computer fix from dealer cost more than they spent on the Fastiva!! Go Ben.

I'm wagon-less for this one, and will leave the Fastiva to the mercy of Ben and Loren.

Anyone up for a co-drive? You know - a little head-to-head; maybe some coaching; I'm good for tire/gas money...
I'll be there all day, so either session. :D

Steve. You know all you have to do is put a tenor(sp) under the wiper for a contest. I'm all alone in the PM as S2 wants a a dry cooler run. This might be my last year to reserve #19 stretching it thin with two Categories :lol: You kicked my butt with torque so let's see how you do without it. :evil: Call it a skins game.

You're on, Mayor! Alexander and I will be there. :thumbwink:
(the Festiva I shared with Loren and Ben for a good, long, time is not a fountain of torque, by the way...) :whip:
