I’m back from the Mid-Atlantic Subaru Challenge at Ripken Field. I drove the Outback Sport (on stock tires and suspension) and had a good time. I didn’t bother taking out the spare, and I left the roof rack on as well. While my times were not great, they are pretty respectable considering the lifted Outback suspension and awful RE-92 tires. Overall I finished 68 of 120 in the class-adjusted (PAX) results. An STS-prepared ’05 Outback sport with springs, swaybars and decent tires finished .024 seconds behind me (raw time), so I’m pretty happy. It looks like I beat at least 17 WRX / STIs in raw time as well.

Anyway, here are a couple of photos from the event:

Check out the body roll. (Obviously, I didn’t take this photo.)
