Two pictures from my autosross event this pass weekend...
Well the first picture shows the type of weather conditions we awoke to in the morning. Cloudy, damp, some drizzle early on and a cool temperature of 46 F at 06:30 AM.
This is the paddock area. There was more standing water on the track.

Here's a picture of the car in action. Even under these poor conditions the Hoosiers and the car's suspension were working hard. Hard to tell because of the front wheel's angle in this sharp turn but you can almost see some wheel lift. Check out the rear left wheel on the inside of the turn! The rear suspension was set to its maximum soft position, while the front was almost to its maximum stiff position. I had to brake very hard to go into the turn and now I am accelerating out of it.

Yes it is. The Caractere bumper is in the paint shop...
When I reinstalled the OEM bumper a month ago, I decided not to put the headlight washers back in, so I covered the holes with tape. If everything goes according to plan, the whole body kit + the new right front fender are going on the car next Monday.
