Congratulations to Stanley for winning todays championship and the overall Novice championship title. I appreciate the great sportsmanship and commardarie. Thanks for the coaching today after the my first run went south and the car didn't feel right.
Special congratulations to Jordon Wilkins. Really enjoyed the back and forth today, was fun to be running one after the other so we were frequently on the course at the same time. Great job making your last run your best time and getting that extra .044 to take second and trophy.
Both of you along with Ramin Beizaie and George Amatuna made this a great year of competition.
Great year, look forward to the awards banquet and the start of the new seaon.
Thank You Arthur!! - We too Congratulate Stanley on his win today and the season. I really enjoyed watching You and Jordan back to back on the track today - what a battle! Having Stanley as the starter was just Perfect

Hopefully they will do it under warranty. We want you back. If not in your own car perhaps someone who is looking for a co-driver. Or pick up a cheap [Miata] beater and come play. Congratulations on your overall 3rd place. Podium finish first year not bad.

Sorry you had troubles Ramin. Its a pretty popular car for autocross and track days nationwide, so it can't be too problem plagued I'd think.

08/09 STI motors are notoriously famous for grenading at AX. Not sure about 2010/2011 years, but people sort of gave up trying after 08/09.

man, hope you get your sube back asap.
fwiw i've had no issues with my 09 sti and have ran 9 autox and 2 hpde events in just over a year. but now my sube is out of comish too after getting rear ended 2 days ago.
When running a Suby ... don't just make sure that the oil is at the top mark ... add another half quart of oil!
I wonder if the Suby engines that are being AX'ed would benefit from a moly coat additive ... which would keep the bearings lubed for that sustained cornering moment when oil isn't available (apparently). I ran many many 100's of runs with my 2.0 WRX engine bumped up to 295 hp without any issues. Extra oil AND one step colder plugs to drain a bit of heat out of the cylinder heads (also an upgraded fuel pump)
Hard to believe ... it actually beat the might Casey Quinn Camaro ... once !
