It wasnt the full track, I forget exactly what was used and what wasnt. Robi ran a 2:05 along with that box-flared WRX on slicks.

If you go to this link for Buttonwillow, you can click on track maps and select the track configuration you guys ran and then post the Map # so we know which configuration. Buttonwillow is difficult to compare times until we know which layout was used, unlike Wilow Springs, when it is always the same (big track, that is).

Looks like it was a great day. Good to see so many EVO's at the track.

AWD, turbochargers, and big sticky tires help.

Actually, to be honest I found the Lancer to be extremely easy to drive at Buttonwillow. Just had to mentally remind myself to keep on full throttle through the sweepers.

But yeah, I wouldn't mind LSD, AWD, and a few hundred more horsepower... but I had sticky tires!!!

Consider yourself boned. Oh wait, that came out all wrong.

Robert, you and your car never cease to amaze.
