Well, Sunday, the course ran backwards, which, for some reason or another really suited my car. I finally had the balance back that I had earlier in the season, like at Hawthorne. The car would turn in like it never had before, and stayed a bit loose on corner exit, which meant I could pretty much point and shoot and aim the car wherever I wanted. I'd say higher tire pressure, and a bit cooler track temp were the main contributing factors.

Anyway, I ended up surprising the boys by winning with a 57.7 something over Scott with a 58.7 and Theo in third with a 59. I was really surprised, to say the least, I knew I had a good couple of runs, but had no idea how good. The funny thing was, Scott was really pushing hard, and was very close to me in time, then on the last lap, he was really getting in my head, i guess he psyched me up because I went out and ripped my fastest lap of the day.

Overall, it was a very close day, especially since there were only 3 of us in STX. What a great weekend though, Saturday and Sunday were both so much fun at autocross.

Dean insisted that I retire the wagon now, after its first win, and get teh sti, so ...?

Also, I would like to ad, it was very cool to see Britton out there in the bad ass Legacy, the car is very well composed on the track, and his times were pretty impressive as far as I'm concerned, it was cool to see that thing run, good job dude!
