I lost the steering a few time haha very different with the lapping/time attack!

VERY nice - looks to be a long, high speed course ... similar to the one just run at Cumberland, Md down here.
What kind of suspension set-up and tires do you use? And it's a Pearly too!!

Good show!

Interesting re the disconnecting of the sway bar on the front. I would think it probably would cause the car to "rotate" more easily. I think I'll try that at the next autocross ....
I am also running the coil overs with the Dunlop Derensi Sport tires. The folks that run the LeMONS 24 Hr race (see an earlier post of mine here) run this tire - it has a tire wear index of 140, compared to a race tire with an index of 100. I also have 444 gears, keeping the automatic (a 1997 Outback trans and rear diff). Everything else is stock. I'm just getting older and slower
