we still haven't seen a subaru at the NASA events that can hold a candle to the evo (James, i know you want to try it... doo eeeitttt!)

Josh

Did they give any reasons why they changed up the events? Good effort though

We're talking about X's here, the X has virtually no understeer imo. Throw a RWB on, and you can kick it out whenever you want.

my point still stands that the sti's come off the showroom floor with a handicapped alignment.

you did your best but next time around we need to send someone who has done all forms of motorsports (autox, road racing & drag) so if they mix it up again we atleast have a fighting chance.

Josh, you did GREAT, man!!! I am not ashamed of that loss in the least. The only thing I didn't like was that he sort of credited the victory to the Subaru, when it was clearly his driving level is high.

You can tell he is a great driver just watching the slalom, dude is very, very good. I would be proud to lose to someone of that skill. Thanks for doing it!

Hell of a try Josh, and I didn't think you came off as looking like a bad loser. Great effort against a strong opponent/competing vehicle.

no offense to autocrosser's but come on put some real racing on there.

they should rent a track for the day (but i guess they're too cheap)

the slalom should not be its own event, it should be part of the autocross (if they insist on having cone dodging)

the events should be

Drag
real Road course
0-100-0? or something else

the problem is with 3 events there will always be 2 that are related to each other, so either its going to be leaned toward road/auto x or drag

maybe they need 4 events with a tie breaker.

Drag
0-100-0
Road Course
Auto Cross

I like this idea!!!




Josh, you had to let them win. They all already know how much better the Evo is than the STi... most STi owners around that actually "mod" there cars wished they would have gotten an Evo.


Also 3rd times the charm!!!
4 LIFE!
