Cool video, but seriously, no action footage of the rallycross Cobra? Come on.

Great event, great courses, great weather, and great photos and video.
After watching that video, however, I realize that it really is time to retire the Sentra. In addition to the poor running, and the transmission that hates to stay in 2nd gear, watching that car porpoise around the course it's no wonder it seemed hard to drive. I knew that the front shocks seemed weak and I tried to adjust them after my first run, but the adjusters just wouldn't turn. During my second run the engine wouldn't rev to full tilt boogie so I was just putting around the course.
Thanks to Pete for the loan of his beloved WRX, and to the staff for letting me transfer to SO4 where I was soundly trounced :lol:
The Subaru WRX is a whole lot different experience than a lightweight two wheel drive car. A lot more go, a lot less whoa, and rotates like a battleship.

the mud missile girl handles fine, you just know that it is heavier. It does not handle like a su2 car, its heavy. But it does go like a missile once its wound up.The z3 would be fun, but hte wrx loves being sideways in gravel and mud. The slicker the better for that thing. Once you get a handle on the cars handling, its fun to drive.
