We'll see who have the last laugh at 2013. Of course, if it goes my way, I will collect it earlier than 2013... laughing all the way to the bank. W00 h00.

I sincerely doubt you will be doing any laughing in 2013.
Meanwhile, in 2007, you are the laughing stock of the automotive internet.

The WRX didn't blow up because of driver's error what so ever. The owner knows it and apologized to me for the car failing. Any of you with some mechanical knowledge should agree... 95+F weather, turbo car with high boost, and NO OIL COOLER?! No oil pressure gauge? No oil temp gauge? That is just nuts.
And, since you clowns can't appreciate how fast a 2:00.x lap is at Buttonwillow. I googled for some results, and this is off:

Now, it just says Buttonwillow CW. So it is possible that it's not the same config but I highly suspect it is #13CW which is the most popular config for BW. There config would be #1, which on the track records page shows it is properly noted at Buttonwillow CW "with Star Mazda".
Now, the WRX I drove was in the Street AWD class. It weights at least 3400 lbs with me in it. We ran Falken Azenis RT615 full thead.
Now you clowns go run at the same config, in Street tires, and you come back and post your results.

Now, it just says Buttonwillow CW. So it is possible that it's not the same config but I highly suspect it is #13CW which is the most popular config for BW. The other config would be the longer config #1, which on the track records page shows it is properly noted as Buttonwillow CW "with Star Mazda".
Now, the WRX I drove was in the Street AWD class. It weights at least 3400 lbs with me in it. We ran Falken Azenis RT615 full thead. The first place and 2nd place cars are sponsored shop cars 1 = Evo8/9 from RobiSpec (excellent Evo tuner) and GSC motorsports. 2 = Harmon Automotive STi (late model). Henry's car is a true daily driver and he build it piece by piece with his hard earned cash over past 3-4 years. Our result speaks volumes for Henry's ability to put together a speedy little daily driver that really never saw any test times (Henry himself track the car maybe only 3-4 times prior and he's a novice DE driver).
Now you clowns go run at the same config, in 95+F day, on Street tires, and you come back and post your results.
On the bright side, we are working with new sponsors already and this time, the car will be reborn as a more seriously prepped "time attack" car. Long live the ugly bug eye'd Impreza. haha.
