Your going to drive all that way to get owned by Rankins?
You needed to see them out in Dixie on Sunday. Rankins took FTD and the top three Pax spots were Steven Rankins, Jon K, Jon McCallister. All in McCallister's car.
Yeah, even with what was damn near the drive of my life, I couldn't touch him. Rankins + STI = FAST. He and the new Mr. Breakey are going to directly cause me to spend even more money on my car.
Bah... anyone is beatable... except for Whitney, that is.
I have beaten Rankins.. Rankins has beaten me.. no biggie. I am not, nor do I think anyone is, going to any event with the intention of beating one person. I think we are all going with the intention to go as fast, qui ckly, and smoothly as possible (or 2 of 3
). If you get beat by someone, or not perform up to your expectations, you review, analyze, and change what you are doing. It's always about learning and progressing.
WIth that said, and to reiterate, I beat him and McCallister on Saturday in FL ::
www.subaruchallenge.comIn fact, Rankins got beat by his co-driver in the Challenge by .4 seconds in each of his two runs, and they both ran clean ( those results are not posted yet for some reason). This WAS on the 'good tires' and McCallister even ran SECOND on hot street tires... so if anything, Rankins had the advantage. Everyone has good and bad days.
So, my point -- anyone is beatable. You can't be perfect everyday, and as long as you are living up to your own expectations and goals, there are no worries.... well, at least for me there are not.

Thanks for the sage words of wisdom Brian. I didn't mean that Steven was "unbeatable" , just that on that particular Sunday, he was really fast. As he has been both times I've seen him in an STI, much faster than he had been in his own car.
