Believe him when he says that he's still slow. :wink: When you take that "SLOW DOWN" advice, the thing to specifically remember is to slow down *entering* most corners, especially with a car like the WRX that understeers like a bitch... cause once you come into a turn hot and start understeering it won't stop until you're completely out of the corner. The crowd watching you will be covering their ears trying to keep out the sound of your over-worked front tires screeching their lives away as you plow all the way through. The way to nail down fast times on most auto-x courses is to enter the turns a little slower than you think you should and take a slightly late apex, so you straighten out the exit a bit and get a good boost down the next straight.
