Okay, okay, I'll try this again from the autocross side.



My name's Karen, and while I do tend to like driving my torque-monster Camaros (yes, I own two of them), I compete in National level SCCA autocross with my E Street Prepared 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX.

I bought the car almost 4 years ago after having driving Justin Rest's 2006 in DSL during the 2007 season and winning a National Championship. After looking at Mazdaspeed 3s, and considering doing something with my beloved '96 Z28 1LE, I found this car languishing at an Essex area dealership, unloved due to its massive stereo system and flamboyant paint job.



The stereo system was pretty much immediately removed, but the paint job remains, contributing to the nickname "phoenix." Justin and I prepped it for DS, and after interviewing Gabe Dunn via two Capitals playoff games, I was competing Nationally in my own car again. We did the DC ProSolo, the Atlanta DoubleCross and the Wendover ProSolo that year, and Gabe made his first (and so far only) trip to Nationals with my car. He didn't fair so well, but James Feinberg won the DS ProSolo Championship with my car (and boy, the stories that came of that), and I won the L1 ProSolo Championship. I finished second in the Ladies Challenge (oddly enough, thanks to the rain; otherwise, I may have won after my finishes at Atlanta and DC), and second in DSL at the National Championships.

I faced a dilemma then. Subaru was no longer offering even the ProSolo contingency. It was no longer "worth it" to run the car in stock class, and as much of a pushy pig it was in stock trim, when the opportunity came up to convert it to ESP, I jumped.



I dropped the car and a copy of the Street Prepared rules off at IAG and told them what I wanted. The car was... meh in early 2009, and I quickly realized I wasn't going to be able to skimp on diffs, so I had front and rears installed just before the 2009 Nationals. I managed to win ESPL there despite issues with the front diff's fitment, and I returned in 2010 to finish just a tick out of the trophies in ESP open class.

In 2011, I found out a mere three weeks before Nationals that I could make it. This was just after returning from one of the most incredible roadtrips I've ever had -- to the Packwood ProSolo and Mt. St. Helens. My Summer of Awesome finished with me earning my first ever open class National Champions trophy in ESP open. It was merely 7th, but it meant the world to me. For the first time in a long time, I'm looking forward to the upcoming autocross season, and I have a new codriver -- Heyward Wagner -- to push me.



What's been done to the car? If you're asking that, I guess you haven't seen my ongoing build thread in the Motorsports area. But, seriously, this is it, with the things being installed in the next week (literally) in red.

There are a few other things on the table, but those in red are definitely being done, followed up, of course, by a re-tune to account for the headers and such.

And then I go to the first WDCR-SCCA event of the year for a shakedown session before the Maryland ProSolo in mid-April! Yikes!



I pride myself on taking care of my cars. My '96 Z28 1LE (the infamous "Green Terror") has nearly 419K miles on it, and I am nearly at 110K on the WRX right now. Having a codriver like Heyward this season will push me with the upkeep of the car as well as with my own driving.

2012 is going to be fun.

Hi my name is Karlton (yes the Karlton fender flare Karlton haha) and I bought my STI in November 2005 with 8 miles on it, broke it in for around 500 miles, then brought it out to it's first autox. Previous to this car I drove a DSP supra, GS Mini, and a ES MR2, all on race tires. Boy did the car not want to turn.......

Originally, the car was supposed to be my daily driver and remain stock, but after it's first autox, the mod bug bit me hard and I ended up building my car for the STU class. After a few years in the class, local competition dwindled and it was time to look for a new class to run in. SM looked well populated.....

OMG was that a bad idea. SM doesn't stand for Street Modified, it stands for Serious Money! There's a whoooooole bunch of things that can be done in this class, and I have been slowly building for the class as funds allow. So far, here's what I have done.

Past Results

2010 Norpac Divisional 1st - SM

2011 Nationals 6th - SM http://scca.cdn.racersites.com/prod/...20Combined.pdf
2011 Subiefest Mod class 1st and TTOD

So 2011 was a tough year, as I had planned on driving my dad's DSP supra, but we could never finish an event LOL. Sucker kept blowing head gaskets. Took my car down to Socal for the divisional so that we would qualify for Nats just in case we could get my Dad's car running again, but the motor just kept saying no. When I decided that I was gonna take my car to Nats, I decided to build the motor to rev a little higher so I could gain a few more mph knowing I was really going to need it for Lincoln. This of course took about 2 months longer than expected, so I pretty much just threw my car together at the last minute and took it to Nationals. Usually you would want to go to the big show with a well sorted car that you've been driving all year and are used to, but oh no...that's not my style lol. Motor, coilovers, and turbo were all changed. My trusty gt30r turbo took a crap right after I threw the car together and tried to tune, so I borrowed a friend's GT35r as that's all I could get on a Wednesday night haha. Finished putting it together and did a quick tune Thursday night (nothing like breaking in a motor on the dyno haha), and took off to Nationals Friday

2012, my plans are to buy a smaller turbo, possibly a quick rack, drop a few more lbs since my car is currently about 3085lbs, and simply drive the car and get used to it again.







Oops

I cheated with my 35 accounts...

I only posted about it for a few friends to vote. I didn't make any special threads or anything. It's only 30+ votes. I would expect anyone that entered a competition based on votes to tell their friends or a least post on Facebook about it haha.. it's a 500k+ member board so I think anyone can come up with a few votes here and there.

I wish Hershey entered earlier, but I think he is going to have a comeback really fast. That car is just blowing my mind!

That's all you need!... Well and a running vehicle of course. Tires make the biggest difference!

I wish I knew about it earlier! Thanks to FastAdams who messaged me and told me about it I was able to enter.

I'm not sure though since I'm not with the rest of the list if many will even take a look at my post since there's a number of posts in between.
