Me thrashing on a girls WRX at an Auto Cross event.

I got it sideways out of the gate. It felt like it went further sideways in the car.

I took a WRX STI in trade a few years ago...took it out for a few joy rides before I sold it to a young kid. That thing was scarey fast...handled like it was on rails!!!

This was a regular 04 WRX with a few goodies added to it. Kind of unfair because she runs in the same class as my Focus.

This was the second day of the event and the 5th or 6th time driving her car one minute at a time. This was Oct 09 and the car rolled 24K at the event.

It was fun.

There is a guy (ok kid - early 20's) in NH that has a RHD Skyline. He ran at an auto cross once or twice.
Didn't seem that quick to me. Or he just dosen't know how to drive it.
