Well, as most everyone knows, I edged him out drag racing by a slim margin. But a win is a win. Today was a chance to autox. Now for the record, he his on Wilwood 6/4 piston brakes, upgraded front and rear sways, swift springs and has 2+ seasons of autox. I am on wrx takeoffs, stock brakes, and a sti oem rear sway. So the outcome is one sided, as the mods are not equal, or nearly as equal as they were when we went drag racing.

But a win is a win, and I will give Jeff and the manual the win, as he beat me by 3 seconds. Thats huge, and im not taking away from his ability. He clearly understands autox a ton better than I do, as I have a total of 8 autox course runs ever.

Im sure his mods helped a lot too, as he really has the advantage. I may look for some stiffer springs, and better pads and switch back to my lgt brake set up, but most likely wont.

Congrads to Jeff for schooling me at autox.
