Auto-x


IMO the SCCA’s dealing with the FRS/BRZ twins in street class has been a bit of a cluster fuck. Optional TRD suspension packages that were supposedly port installed (although no one ever saw a case when they weren’t dealer installed) really messed up the perceived balance between the twins and created a lot of controversy.

You’ve noticed – I’ve been getting pretty bored of solo. With no co-drivers and mediocre results my interest has been fading fast.
