Nice Ride at the Houston Jan 2011 Event
Here's a Video of a 2011 WRX Running with us Jan. 2 2011 to start our Houston Region Solo Events.

This thing was sick. The guy was asked to do a promotional ad for a local dealership and was given a car to race with ... lucky.

YouTube Video

Wanted to share this great ride with you guys. It sounds nice from the cameras here, but doesn't give justice of what it sounded in person.

Yup definitely was. The average run was between 39-42 seconds. And he was consistently running 38s. Real quick, and turned flat.

Hmm ... either Auto-X-ZTS came down to TX for a run. Or this guy has been up toward WI.

Either way ... that's cool. Small World.
