You read correctly, and it hurts

The amazing thing is that Scott has co-driven my car at 8 different events now, all differnt tracks, with different lengths and speeds, and our best times are usually within a couple of tenths of each other. I have won a few, and he has won a few. We are really close.

We also thought we were hot shit until Lucas jumped into Matt's car yesterday and made us all look silly.

I went from 5-6 seconds back on you guys, to being 3-4 seconds back. If only I had run more events. I bet I'd be even closer. Hopefully next year I can start smack talking with you guys (and when Lucas gets his STi... )

Being faster is not a prerequisite for smack-talk.

I noticed looking at the season results and they spelled Syclone with a C!

Not that it matters as I only ran 1 event.

I just hate to get confused with the Mercury Cyclone.

I did manage a 38.3 on my last run. I think you were at a 38.9? But you are a lot faster than the beginning of the season when I beat you on my RE92s.

Wow, I didn't realise you guys were getting down that low. Next year is going to be interesting!

BTW a stiffer rear swaybar will get you another 0.5 - 1.0 second improvement

Matt and I both have Perrin front and rear bars, endlinks and mounts and they have made a huge difference.

Any adjustable bars from companies like Perrin, Whiteline, Cusco, Hotchkis etc will do the job.

Make sure you get the beefier aftermarket endlinks, and rear mounts as well. The stock endlinks and mounts will not last very long with a stiffer sway bar on the car.

Yep, 'cept there is a minor issue w/ 'em... according to the rules, I shouldn't be scoring anyone that hasn't competed enough events to qualify for a trophy, so if there are people ahead of you (well, not you Mike ) that didn't run 8 events this season, remember to move yourself up the correct number of spots in the final order.

Class Standings

PAX Standings

Congrats Mike, for winning pax this year!

I didn't hear the results, what did Lucas run (compared to everyone else)?
