I think she did pretty well considering her experience level with the car. It's pretty intimidating at first.

That Celica all-trac was definitely sick. I was quite envious of his tires (kinda like Bill's). We have yet to put a worthy set of tires on our Impreza. I'm happy with being only 1/2 a second away from a car running newer, better Hoosiers that are 40mm wider at every corner. I am also happy that I managed to beat all of the Cobras in Raw time on Sunday. Never done that before! I think I was just as surprised as they were.
Mike,
went to your web page via the link in your addy -- does your car really have an STi 6 spd in it? And does it actually run in the 13s in the 1/4?
