57 registered so far. I didn't see any of the 'regulars' listed, so I guess that they stopped by to see Dave.

I did see OT listed!! myautoevents.com Only 2 subi's listed. OT and the 'crosser'....

PS,
the Hunter's Brother-in-law was at the birthday party today!! HE was talking about his favorite Subi and was telling me about his brother-in-law's black SVX with a body kit. Imagine that!! Travel 200 miles to watch a 3 year old have a birthday party and MEET someone that lives 2 miles from you and knows all your friends!!
I told him about the Outback being the only car at the 'meet' that would haul the wheelchair and his sister had to ride with me to and from the airport!! ( It's a small world after all!!)

We made it through the first one. I ran saturday in the Outback and OT ran today.
I was second in class for HS. I only got 1 cone, but got scores of 8.0 and 9.5 for the 360!!
The Outback needed a 50% HP boost to really turn up the fun.

To try to compensate for the lack of power, I tried to dive deeper into the turns before braking. that's how I got the 360!!
All passes were about 1.5 seconds apart, no matter what I tried to do. (Except the one with the 360 was 8 seconds slower.)
I could spend a lot of money to make to Outback more competitive or just put it back to work as a 'support' vehicle like it has been for the last 4 years.

Due to family things, I couldn't be there to back OT up today.

I just talked to him on the phone and HE was pleased with his improoovement for the day.

Jerry,
congrats! basic rule for the future - always brake before you start to turn (you don't want to be turning and braking at the same time...leads to 360 degree excursions

).

Are you trying to say that OT ended up off course and in some body of water?

A loose quote from the GREAT movie;

The Last Boy Scout.

Joe Hallenbeck: Sure, sure, it just happened. Could happen to anybody. It was an accident, right? You tripped, fell on the floor and accidently stuck your @#$% into my wife. "Oops, I'm sorry, Mrs. H, I guess this just isn't my week".
