Can't wait to get the OEM tires off and some better ones on. Need to get a more aggressive alignment too. The car has tons-o-potential to go with the tons-o-weight.

You might try backing off on the entry speed so you can be on the gas sooner. The car is only going to go around a corner so fast, if you get in too fast it'll scrub the speed by sliding the front wheels sideways. If you go in under the highest speed for that corner you can get on the gas sooner. As I understand it the STi will actually oversteer a bit under power, if you can get on it early enough you should be able to do a slight power slide out and have higher straightaway speeds.

abnormalmiata - Hey, thanks for letting my brother jump in for a ride along. By the time he showed up my run group was already over. Appreciate it.

I had lots of fun at the event, regardless of the great puffs of smoke and lack of power. I really liked the course layout, especially the traffic circle and decreasing radius turns. From what I saw, I think I was the only FWD that used the handbrake on the traffic circle for a better exit.
Placing 27 out of 56 and 2nd in Street Tire Novice ain't bad when you got 56 whp SOHC non VTEC power.
