Looks that way, but I'll put in an extra prayer...just in case.

Oh man you're doing good, after my first 2 sessions I had to fill up. Reset my trip meter, had 2 more sessions, then drove to the gas station right by I90. Had 62 miles on the trip meter and put in a little over 11 gallons. So right around 5.5mpg.

Hope to see some of you guys at the full track Autobahn event next weekend!

I spent all morning cleaning my engine bay and rims!

Aside from the oil issue I had a very good time.

I thought everyone looked pretty good. Even the first timers were passing people left and right. We'll have to do another one of these things.

I didn't really watch anyone other than Jeske as he was pouring oil all over the front end of my car and then later as we (Jeske, the red Vette and I were playing "let's make the STi's go off course". Then the MG Midget sprayed oil over the front of my car. I finally looked at it today after Shawano....... Poor car!!!

......LOL.....what were you doing behind me Mr. Evo 9? Maybe you were just hanging out hoping to have front row seating if I were to wreck! I was surprised at that fact that the old timers thought I was out of control maybe they don't understand that on AWD cars oversteer is corrected with more throttle.....or maybe they didn't understand the it was intentional!

That being said I am sorry about the oil thing. I'll paypal you $5 for a carwash!

Haha, I didn't think you were in too much danger of wrecking. I think it was just the 2x 2-wheels off in one lap that caught their attention. What was I doing behind you? Trying to keep up. I definately had no chance in the straights. I think I had you in the corners, but I don't think we had a clean lap without coming up on slower cars to really tell. Hille said that you and I in a straight race would have been a good one to watch. Next time we'll go into group 1, or you could show up at Shawano.

I'm surprised us trying, and in some cases succeeding to get 3 cars past a slower one in 1 passing zone didn't get us all black flagged.

If anything our passing was the most dangerous driving of the day. Not to say we put others at risk but I dont think it fit into their definition of passing zones.

You are definately faster than me in the corners. I think you would lay waste to me at Shawano. I understeer something terrible there. Maybe a more aggressive alignment would help. Considering the amount of power mods I have I was very impressed with your car in stock form.

I got a hard on when there were four EVOs in a row passing everything on the track!
