Scott's been nice enough to let me drive his car at the Glen while mine is laid up. Based on this arms race shaping up in SPA, it may be the only time I'm in it all year :lol:

Wouldn't Mario's car fall into SPB now?

You guys will have to be sure to show the new guy the ropes at COMSCC. Easing him into a life long addiction to speed should come naturally to most of you. The new owner seems excited to get out and play.
The Glen may be a tough track to get his first experience with the car. We were hoping for the NHIS event to do a little shake down and be able to offer some tech support, but the weather didn't cooperate. I guess a few of the you old timers will have to lend him a hand. Be gentle now.
Scott, He will run in SPA. The best lap times last fall in the club race at WGI were 1:58... Should be fine for SPA..
I'll miss the old . She was a lot of fun, but I've started building a new one. It won't be ready for this season. Perhaps I'll swipe Ryan's Honda while he is traversing the planet. I'm just not sure if I could handle going that slow...

I'll be sure to treat him "gently" at the classroom Greg :wink:

As for you, slow can be good too... teaches how to handle momentum and body roll... :)

As long as he shows the proper respect for the Subaru crew, we'll offer him whatever help we can. This may be our best chance to get a point-by from that car!
