Next, In Dean's defense, everyone get's one off weekend, that's the first such weekend I've seen from him all year. Dean's been kicking my ass all year, and I've really enjoyed the competition between Dean, Scott and Myself, Dean is still a superior driver and I've enjoyed chasing you guys this year. Plus, Dean get's bonus points for that incredible slide thru the infield 
Eric really stepped it up...what a strong finish. That car is an animal on coils  ... I'm really looking forward to battling next season...Tyson closed the gap on the STX times this weekend too...Good to see everyone improving each week.
Debbie...I wish you would run STXL full time...You are an excellent driver, and I'd put money on you winning Ladies PAX in '05 if you run STX or even NESPL  I just don;t see Patty keeping pace with you, given the success you've had in Dean's car this season.
All IN All, Autocross is still a ton of fun, can't wait 'til next season.. |
I don't know that Dean had an "off" day. It truely was a difficult course to go fast on in a WRX. I'll show you my in-car video, you'll see how hard it was to get the car moving. I think even an error-free run wouldn't have been off the speeds that you and Eric were running.
I'm not trying to say you STi owers weren't fast, y'all certainly dropped the hammer, I'm just saying us WRX guys were pushing our cars to the limit, and simply didn't have anything more for you last weekend.
Here's a clip of the run on Saturday I took w/ Nick in the car. Note the crap for acceleration especially at the north end of the course in the two lefthanders. I even yell "go! go! go!" at the car trying to encourage it to get up and move.
