I competed in the 2010 Kumho Super Challenge this year. It is probably the biggest AutoX weekend in BC with people coming from WA, OR, Alberta, etc. Super competive and a lot of fun. The event is over 2 days with Sunday afternoon being a special shootout round. Out of over 100 drivers the top 30 (+10 randoms) enter the shootout and you have 1 lap to make it count. The slowest half get kicked out! I made it to round two, but placed 13th (not top 10) so was kicked out!

Looks fun... is your seat loose? Looked like a lot of movement on Sats run #4.... but maybe you're just a "husky" guy pullin' a bunch of G's? :D

haha! It might be a combination, plus the fact that I think it is the cheapest corbeau race seat possible!

You're too modest, I watched some of your ski videos, so I know it's not the latter!

Looks like fun Spencer, so how are they measuring car exhaust noise at Pitt now?

The car doesn't have traction control, just ABS!

It is, however, AWD and has throttle induced understeer. It is like some sort of passive traction control. haha.

Rain - the great equalizer! Nothing else sets the men apart from the boys... except maybe ice! :D
