no you don't. He should figure out how to drive what he has first. He should still do reasonably well with what he has.

I live 1/2 mile from Osbourn Park HS so I'll probably wake up right as tech inspection begins. I know there are a group of RSX's and S2000's meeting up at the Silver Diner in Fairfax on West Ox Rd at 7:20-30 and departing at ~7:40 to head out here.

I'm an hour and a half! You should know an hour away in DC is right up the road!

I'll be there by 8am, I'll bring a couple chairs.

It looks like it's the 2 old ones (2003s) vs the two new ones (2006s)!

Gallery - http://www.byrdfeeder.com/events/CDC052607/

My first run - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuRzwh0cdS4&eurl=
My third run - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjUtmcJyS04&eurl=

It was LONG day of racing. Well it was a long day, I only autoX'd for about 228 seconds total. Amazingly that first run was one of my fastest of the day, which actually is pretty common for me. I think I take it easier to learn the course and don't try to overdrive the car.

My best was a 38.2 which I think was that 3rd run. I was damn happy with the car though, man that ****er handles so well. Very little understeer, not really even much oversteer, it was fantastically neutral. Best car I've ever autocrossed. Nihilation got a 37.45 I believe, he only had me by .1 before that so I thought I had a shot!

the pics were so-so, it was bright as **** out there:



















OOPS!

The Audi is pretty cool, although I do need to change the suspension on it. I have been checking on coilovers for it, and chip it. My best time was 44, with two other people in the car with me...hehe. My first run was freaking bad...I was all off course...hehe
