That's my favorite way to do AAS but I'm brining a co-driver and she can't go in the AM so might as well race with the ST cars I guess.

Pretty fun course today, I wish we had a little more 2nd gear... wasn't sure if it was worth shifting. My in-car cam ran out of battery cause we left it on for the entire group.

My fastest



Last fastest with the in-car

I think I was trying to compensate for HP by not braking adequately and trying to carry too much speed? I think the BRZ will teach me a lot about driving and how to leverage momentum properly.
Is your car stock or modified? I nearly spun a BRZ on stock tires. Lifted hard going into a turn transitioning between concrete and pavement and the rear snapped around.

That course looks pretty fun. Do you have a soft rev limiter?

I agree it was a fun course! I didn't bother shifting but I was tempted coming back towards the showcase. I didn't bring my GoPro but I ran a 45.6

My friend told me that Mary was making a comment that anyone new should watch me since I'm a regular at the events. Just then at the last section before the finish I refused to lift the throttle and then under steered knocking a bunch of cones like a bowling alley, thus a cone went under my wheel well and launched fender liner ten feet in the air. I couldn't get under 50 sec and I have to replace my fender liner for the second time

He then realized no one will ever watch him again...

My in-car cam failed today, not sure what happened but it started working after I messed with it.

Here's Justin's fastest run today, beat me by a little over a tenth. I couldn't figure out the first hand left at all today, was overdriving and not looking ahead enough.

I couldn't start my camera in time for my faster run.

That first fast left in the back I never did right. I was too slow the first run and sideways every run after that. It was a fun and challenging course at least!
