Wheee! Rallycross photos of me!

Post by douglas vincent »

Well, a supercharger and stock WRX tires don't fit well together. I was a crowd favorite and very slow due to 3 donuts per run minimum. Acch! Way too much power with too little traction. A stock 1991 wagon toasted me because he HAD NO POWER, therefore he couldnt lose it like I did over and over. But man what a blast! I was constant 4 wheel drifting over and over and it looked awesome from what all the spectators said. I even had someone do a full run video which included the best donut of the day.

And the best news of the day? No blown motor, not a sigh of ping and it ran flawlessly! The belt for the supercharger never slipped a notch and what more can I say, instant power!

He's my brother with his new "toy" that cost more than my legacy (at least when I bought my wagon!).
