Some pics from our big local autocross. Had video issues on Sunday, but Saturday I got video. I finished 4th on Saturday and 8th on Sunday, good for 8th overall.

Found a cheap Scorpion catback on eBay, they're normally $1k+ and this was $375 due to a vendor clearing out stock. I wanted polished tips but the seller sent one with black tips. Meh, I was planning on swapping the tips anyway. Saved almost no weight over the STI muffler but it sounds amazing and fitment was spot on.

Here's my fastest clean run:



and my fastest dirty run:

Had a great event with Philly SCCA last weekend and a fast friend drove with me. We had a good battle but I got the W. I finished 5th in PAX as well!

My fastest run:



Trevor's fastest run:



Some pics:











and Amy got to drive Trevor's car, a full prep STR ND Miata! She really enjoyed it, like a smaller version of her RX-8



and an outside video I shot of Trevor:

Final Philly SCCA event of the year! I had a decent shot at moving up in points and I managed to do it with a solid 2nd in PAX! I finished 3rd overall for the year, pretty happy with that after a few really tight events where I came out on the wrong side of results by a tenth or two.

Here's my fastest run, even turned on the wipers as I reached for third gear, haha.



I had a special guest, a long time STS Miata driver and good friend, Rich DiMarco, codrive with me. His first run was hilarious since the steering is a LOT more responsive than a 1990 Miata! Here's his fastest run:
