Brian's Track Videos
Here's a collection of clips from some of the track days I've done in my WRX.
Lime Rock Park - June 12th, 2004
Bad news... I smashed up the drivers side of my rex at Lime Rock. After much review, I’m pretty sure there was fluid on the track which aided in a traction loss which caused the spin. Maybe if I had reacted quicker I could have saved it, but the tail came out very fast.
I've got in-car video of the crash so you can see for yourself.
Here's pictures of the damage.
Here's the car after the repairs (3.5 weeks worth): Pictures
This happened in the first session so I obviously don't have much other video from the event, but here's a couple short clips of people not crashing:

My car is going to be a little faster come June 12th (SCDA @ Lime Rock). Over the off season I had my car's ECU reflashed and tuned at KTR Performance. I've also installed an adjustable rear swaybar, mounts and endlinks to help reduce understeer. Here's the power results on KTR's AWD dyno:
Power at the wheels went from 162HP to 187HP. A 25HP gain translates to ~35-40 at the crank so the rex is putting out ~265HP now!
