I have thought about going up and running. Several of the guys I know from New York are going to this event and running. They are trying to talk me into going to gain the experience of a national level event. Since only one of my friends of there is a true national level driver th rest of us could all aim to not finish last.

I am hoping to run STX for that event, since I don't have r-comp tires for DS. Anyone have a rear sway bar I can borrow or rent for that event. :lol:

You wouldn't be much (if any) better off in STX on STX tires with stock suspension than you would be in DS without R tires.

:lol:

Tom & I guesstimated that on the Sanford course, my WRX was close to 2 seconds slower than his - part of that was the extra 60 hp, but most of it was the suspension.

Same weekend as the Belle Chere ... probably the only ax in the country to run on city streets. Average autocross, but great festival!

The Belle Chere is unique in that it is run in the streets. However, keep in mind those streets have curbs! I saw a VW hit the curb last year. Needless to say, the car left with about 45 degrees of positive camber on the driver's side.

It is a fun festival though...
