Here's to hoping
Subies also have Jake Namer who won the ProSolo on Monday. But Corey took the championship. Those two have been battling it for most of the year so expect something good from either or both.

I had dinner with Jake last night -- great, great guy.

However, the evo field is pretty deep on talent: corey, geoff, rick, russ, clint, and wiggy.

I feel honored just to be able to watch all these guys duke it out for top spot ... Personally I feel more like a spectator who happens to be driving @ NATs. Looking forward to seeing a lot of you folks in person.

BTW: the weather has been cloudy over here with no rain ... temps are pretty warm.

Jake has REALLY stepped up his game this year I just wish I could have made the trek out with those guys this year, although it would just be like a regional event for us Philly guys I've already started planning my trip out next year now that the wife has given me the ok for 2010

Nationals should be a great battle with the deep Evo field. The Scooby camp is getting deeper as well so it should be a great battle come Thursday.

I'm camped out amigos/kopeli because they have good internet access. There is still work to do, even though I'm out of town all week.

You spoke to too soon. It looks like rained play some havoc on heat 3.

Yes he has. He was pretty good last year but was just running on STi Pink springs. After getting my @ss whooped in AS by Dave's Solstice I thought I'd give STU a shot but didn't run a single event this year thanks to an incident involving a tirewall

I only made it out to Warminster once, but you Philly boys really put on a good show. Keep it up

You thought AS was tough just wait until you run STU more, especially with us in Philly or Nationally!! I was considering moving to BSP for 2010 but, the competition is just to good in STU to move to BSP.

You should come down more often if you can.

Wow, keep it up!

PS the Mil.Spec P0420 was not an anomaly. It most certainly throws a CEL. Just FYI.

Looks like old Evos and old Subies are still the fastest

What's the fix? Spark plug anti-fouler?

Speaking of National Events -- Congratulations on winning second place at Nationals, Rick! Just a mere .023 seconds of first place. That's an incredibly close margin.

If I'm not mistaken, and anyone correct me if I'm wrong, there is no STU legal fix. If it throws a CEL, it's not STU legal. But yes, spark plug anti-fouler is one of the options to try to keep it from throwing a CEL. There are also ECU options.

Had a great time! Glad I was able to meet up with a lot of competitors in STU. I learned I have a longgg ways to go in terms of improving as a driver and that '03s can still be competitive.

Evos took first and second in both STU, STUL... but not without a bit of drama, which came as no surprise to me. In STUL, Diana Carris was protested by Christy Carlson, who has a history of protesting (or at least whining) locally when she's not winning. The protest was ruled in Diana's favor but apparently that wasn't enough to settle the matter and an appeal was wanted as well. *shrug*

Major congratulations to Tom and Rick for taking 1-2 in STU this year. Truly deserved and I couldn't be happier for two of the nicer guys in the paddock!

Geoff, I know you're disappointed with the result, but still, job well done.

Not my year this year, I'll be back next year and more prepared for what the Lincoln site has to offer me.

+1 Congrats guys! Way to bring home a victory for the Evos! (finally)

And congrats to my co-driver for coming in 6th in his car with the super soft Megan coilovers! Hopefully next year he'll get something better or we'll take my car with the ZZYZX setup.
