Well guys as for my friend who crashed, which took the air out of everyone for a second or two, he's claiming hit-and-run with his insurance, so alls not lost. He even swept the debree and put it in a bag so when he took his car home he could throw the debree on the ground to make it look like it happen there. He was coming out of a Sweeper and into a Sharp Shikane and over corrected it and slammed into the wall after he past the timer. ******* was able to crash his car and still get a better time than me. That's OK, I'll take a car intact anyday over a better run.
And Yes, as for the advantages that the WRX has over the SVT, I'm content with the results. My friend who pulled off a 48 second run, he's one of the best drivers that race at these events, so taken into account that, AWD, limited-slip, shorter wheelbase, better 50/50 weight balance, as well as the fact that he lowered the car a little and put on his Audi TT rims and tires which gave the car wider traction, I think I and the SVT proved it's worth on Sunday. Coming in 5th place behind a field of about 50 cars is pretty damn good.
