Post Time Attack becoming more main stream---CHECK OUT THIS ARTICLE

Time Attack form of motor sports has become more and more popular in the United States recently within a pretty short amount of time. Time Attack has been referred to as Japan’s NASCAR and is considered as popular as drifting in Japan, if not equal. A couple great things about Time Attack is that with the classes a street car prepared to see track time can compete as well as your local tuner shop on the same track using. Another thing is due to the small amount of restrictions within Time Attack you can see a lot of parts available for your car on cars competing in the Time Attack. These things are why Time Attack has gotten popular and is now going more main stream with several magazines covering events as well as Speed TV and ESPN covering events. Check out this recent article on SpeedTV.com about Time Attack, you may notice some quotes from our own Mike Warfield (owner and EFI tuner), as well as pictures of our very own Impreza L Time Attack car.

I am really looking forward to all that. Good set of coilovers, then a set of Stoptech's, and then the swap. Oh yeah....

But for now, I am upgrading the driver (me). Taking the advice of Greg and some others and fine tuning what I think needs to be improved.

stoptechs may not even be nessesary, a lot of ppl are crazy fast with just the STI brembo fronts! if you dont have that much power, i say dont do BBK just yet. Your learning curve for "Upgrading driver" will be thrown off.

Point taken. Yeah... right now... I am just trying to restrain myself from excessively modding. I don't want to screw up my learning curve.
