Well, first off, If the event is following Scca class rules, your MBC will be illegal in Dstock or STX classes.You might want to check on the legality of that mod.

Secondly, make sure you take a tire guage with you. Start out with your normal tire pressure or higher since you're on re-92's. In between each run, monitor your air pressure, becasue it will vary greatly as teh tires heat up. You have to decide if you want to run more pressure which will give you stiffer sidewalls and more response, or if you wnat a bit lower pressure, which will give you more traction, but cause the tire to "roll over" a little.,assuming of course you're still running your stock tires.

Finally, as far as run times go...since this is the first time you'll have your WRX on the track, take it easy on your first lap to get a feel for the cars turning, acceleration, etc. You'll be surprised how much your car pushes through the turns trust me...

Focus on being smooth, and not jumpy behind the wheel...And most importantly, have a good time, and don;t take it too seriously like the vegas guys in Hawthorne, Getting too seriuos is a good way to ruin the experience...enjoy....
