Haven't I taught you anything?!!? You haven't spun until you do a triple axle at 110 kph in the dry, and don't forget sticking the landing. Still haven't beaten the spinmaster yet

Only 180 on SO2's in the wet? Com'on man, didn't you know the car was undriveable in those conditions! Surprised that car didn't drive itself into the light standard, flip it self over, catch fire and explode right there. Stupid, snap-oversteer, sucky SO2 rain tire car.

Nice pic! I wish I hadn't gone around the second time though, that was EXPENSIVE! It really was an accident the second time around, I thought the back end would stick and I'd go forward! I nearly got the boot from the event for that little shenanigan.

Lucky for me because after calming down a bit I learned more about the car then I have at any other event. After a few fun runs I managed to get within a few tenths of Vince, which I was pretty happy about. Of course this was after Taylor drove the Stook and schooled me!

I also got a chance to drive Taylor's ITR. I thought I'd be faster in it, but I think I'm actually starting to get used to the Stook, because I felt like I was driving a tank! I didn't remember having to turn the wheel so much last time I autocrossed it. The brakes were much better though. I was 6 or 7 seconds slower than Taylor in a car I thought I'd still be familiar with! He was only 1 second slower than me in my car. Damn!

Haha Taylor schooled you in your old ITR, a car you put over 200k on!

Yeah, it's so different to drive an ITR than a stook, although many of the principles are the same....

I like to think it's my fist up in the air that really makes the pic.
