Alaska SCCA June9th 2007

Post by Mavrik »

More pics to come but here are the ones I uploaded for now. Popped the cherry on the STi so to speak, this was the first autocross I drove the car in. Wasn't disappointed with the car at all. A little with myself perhaps as I felt I could have been faster. Hope did really well also. Stayed on course this event, didn't eat to many cones. I think the car may just still be tired from its trip through the alcan hwy.This car just looks sick out there.Looks like I'm three wheeling :DThe aftermath...

My sister just moved back from North Pole Alaska and said it was a great place to live! I never knew they ran SCCA up there!

well the SCCA region chapter is located in the anchorage/wasilla area. Usually the events are in parking lots of schools or the drag strip parking lot when we can get them.
