Proving Grounds 2012

STI vs Evo on the road course?!?!? Would you guys like to see some sort of competition like this?

Maybe Mitsu vs Subaru, so I can get out there with the 1G. :)

Any idea what the Mitsu to Subaru ratio was on the road course last year? I don't remember there being too many Subarus even there.

Something i wanted to do the last 2 years. I wanted to setup a triple challenge. Drag race, Auto-X, and Road course. using a formula (to create each event equal) multiplied by your times. This would be the ultimate driver/car challenge.

Don't forget the emissions, car show, engineering, driveability, dyno, fuel economy and gross display of horsepower categories.

I would be all over this if you could make it happen. Might know a few guys that would as well. The biggest obstacle would be event timing... there is still a lot of overlap (which can't really be avoided).

Yes, I'm hoping we can overcome that somehow. More details to come.....

Glad there are some people interested.

Last year a couple of us on the road course thought it be fun to run in all 3 events, but as it turns out the autox, drag, and road course events are going on at the same time for the timed events. Hopefully you can get this sorted out for next year, I know myself and 2 others that will be game for that challenge for sure.

It might still work. Day 1 last year was practice / timed autoX #1, Road Course, and open drag practice. Day 2 was timed autoX #2, and Drag shootout. Even making it to the final in the largest field in drag, I had ample time to get my junk over to the autoX to get tech'd and all the runs. If I had elected to do the road course on day 1, instead of just drag, all 3 would have been possible that weekend.

When you do more than aim down the track and actually drive a car for once let me know how that goes. ;)

Um, i've done it plenty of times and turns out even on teh street I don't spin out on corners and at the auto-x i do pretty good, hell I came within .02 secs of beating the driver of a car who had been doing auto-x all year and previously before and that was my first time in that car!

But well that's how that went, now please tell us all your wisdom from running off the road, car crashes, the internet and of course forza. :wink:

Also I plan on taking home the stock appearing trophy if i make this event, with a 16G.

I smell a road course/auto-x grudge match right here.

Let's fucking do it.

Word.

I have a question, why is everyone so against drag racing here?

Considering that's all DSMs are really good for?

I hope they can set up road racing and drag, i'd like to do those.
